HPQ SHOWROOM MOVES

On 15 April 2023, the world's first relocation of a LoftCube pavilion took place with an SPMT (Self Propelled Modular Transporter). This extraordinary action started early in the morning on 14 April 2023 with the preparations for the transport in cooperation with the special companies Allgaier and Eisele.

The SPMT was delivered, the transport route to the new location was paved and laid out with steel plates so that the 66 tonnes could be moved without complications. The Cube was hydraulically lifted to an underride height of 1.60 m so that the transporter could carefully and slowly drive underneath - with only 1 cm clearance above the load distribution steel beams - and was then secured with steel chains. The next day, the actual move took place.  Our photographer Stefan Marquardt and video specialist Kilian Rosini were on site with the drone to capture the most exciting moments. Around 10:00 a.m. the convoy started to move. Twelve individually and automatically controlled axles easily compensated for any unevenness on the transport route. Two hours later, the LoftCube stood undamaged at its new location. The world's first relocation of a LoftCube with an SPMT was a complete success.
