KMB Stavebni Servis, a trusted dealer for UNIC Cranes Europe based in the Czech Republic, played a crucial role in the transformation of Smíchov City, a high-rise development that demanded advanced lifting solutions for its glazing operations. By applying the advanced capabilities of the UNIC URW-1006 spider crane in combination with a high-performance glass vacuum lifter, KMB Stavebni Servis ensured precision and safety while overcoming the logistical challenges posed by the project.
The Smíchov City project involved installing hundreds of glass panels at considerable heights and in confined spaces – a huge undertaking. With its impressive 10-tonne lifting capacity, the UNIC URW-1006 proved to be the ideal solution. Its maximum working height of 30.7 meters and maximum working radius allowed it to handle this ambitious project with ease, making it perfect for tasks requiring heavy-duty performance in compact and restricted environments.
KMB Stavebni Servis spent several weeks on this project, assisting in the transformation of Prague-Smíchov railway station into Smíchov City, a modern municipal district offering almost 400,000 square meters of residential, administration, commercial, and public space. The crane’s compact design enabled precise positioning on-site while minimising disruption to the surrounding area, an essential feature for urban projects like this.
For this project, KMB Stavebni Servis relied on the seamless pairing of the UNIC URW-1006 with a high-performance glass vacuum lifter. This dynamic combination provided the precision and stability needed to safely handle and position the glass panels, overcoming the logistical challenges of the project.
Smíchov City’s ambitious design represents a bold vision for modern urban development, and KMB Stavebni Servis’s involvement in this transformation highlights the advanced capabilities of UNIC Cranes. The UNIC URW-1006, paired with the glass vacuum lifter, not only ensured the successful installation of the glazing elements but also underscored the importance of innovative technology in delivering original solutions for complex construction projects.
Whether it’s installing glass façades, positioning structural elements, or working in restricted urban spaces, UNIC Cranes continues to set the benchmark for performance, reliability, and innovation in the construction and glazing industries.
