Picking a car has a way | so critical moments need it to deal with

The Dom-Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Europe. It was founded in 1857 and has a history of more than 160 years. It is a landmark in Cologne.

The prestigious Dome Hotel is undergoing renovation and renovation work. The demolition of the building is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. The overall project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2020. Genie? SX?-125 XC? is responsible for the project.

The demolition work was not as simple as we thought, and the hotel's exterior and distinctive staircase design needed to remain intact. The narrow demolition site is a test of the floor space and smooth operation of the equipment.

Why choose the Genie SX-125 XC aerial work platform to complete this challenging project? Mr. Sven Nielsen, Project Director of BSI GmbH, said this.

Compact body design takes up little space

“The Dom Hotel is located in the heart of the city, opposite the famous Gothic building – Cologne Cathedral. The equipment needed to dismantle the site must have the characteristics of heavy load, narrow body and flexible operation. Due to the nature and size of the site, the site Inappropriate use of scaffolding will not only increase the cost of use, but also compromise safety and efficiency.

In this special demolition project, the Genie SX-125 XC has a mini X-type axle chassis with a footprint of only 3.49 m * 4.11 m. The compact body size is a key factor. Without it we will not be able to enter the hotel courtyard and the interior of the building. Our work is carried out in front of the Cologne church, which is crowded with pedestrians and tourists.

In addition, the Genie SX-125 XC can be transported with standard-size trailers without the need for an extra-wide or ultra-high transport permit. The staff feedback equipment is very flexible to operate, and it can be driven freely in crowded demolition sites and in the hotel interior. ”

Larger and stronger load, wider working range

For the performance of the Genie SX-125 XC equipment, Mr. Frank Braun, the contractor of the hotel renovation project, replied : “Hotel refurbishment requires heavy-duty tools such as cutters and angle grinders. In order to keep up, we hope that aerial work equipment can Carrying tool work as much as possible at one time. The Genie SX-105 XC 300 kg unconstrained and 450 kg limited dual load capacity can fully meet our needs.

After the interior of the hotel is demolished, the original exterior wall surface requires high-altitude equipment to carry workers to reinforce the metal frame of the building. The internally demolished parts also require high-altitude vehicles to suspend metal protective cloth to prevent falling debris and sewage. In this special mission, the Genie SX-125 XC's 24.4 m horizontal extension played an advantage, ensuring that the equipment is kept at a safe distance from other demolished areas inside the hotel.

Flexible operation, safe and efficient

Mr. Frank Braun concluded by summing up: “The Dom demolition is located next to Cologne’s historic downtown cathedral. This work is closely monitored, which means strict safety measures are in place and the project is completed on time. With the Genie SX-125 XC aerial work platform, we can completely complete the project construction tasks with confidence."
