Another good job was in November last year which involved moving a load of equipment from a site in
Munich, part to another site in Paris and part to a Frankfurt site. We loaded two German draw bars for
Frankfurt and me and two colleagues loaded for Paris. The equipment was a lot of computer cabinets
and many pallets of computer room floor tiles, which we had to lift and palletise. The loading took
two days although the offloading in Paris was only one, long, day.
Making progress lifting and palletising the floor tiles.
We had a problem getting the cabinets out because since they were put in a partition wall had been built.
The people who we were doing the job for and whose building it was gave us permission to make a slight
technical adjustment to the wall. Boy that was fun.
The two German trucks loaded and bound for Frankfurt.
Loaded for Paris.
In Paris we had to fork lift the machines onto this narrow walkway, we couldn’t get the trailers backed onto
it so were unable to make use of the tail lifts.
Then through a doorway and across a computer room suspended floor, which had to be plated to
spread the weight of the machines.
We didn’t have enough plates to do the entire 300+ metres so we had to keep lifting the plates once
he machine had passed over them and move them to the front of the machine, there were six
of us on the job and we got a bit of a rhythm going so it wasn’t so bad.
The end of a long day in Paris, just getting the CMR signed.
good job
