behind the scene
Building and shipping a 180-Ton Giant
From customer requirements to engineering, production and transport. Every step is designed with precision. This is how a 180-ton machine comes to life.
How it starts
Every machine starts long before steel meets steel. It begins with a question.
A customer challenge. A performance requirement. A vision of what needs to be possible — often beyond standard solutions. That’s where we start: translating ambition into engineering reality.
From there, our engineers take over. They design not just a machine, but a solution. Every detail is calculated, every force anticipated, every movement defined — long before anything is built.
Only then does production begins.
Building
At the heart of that process lies the main slide. Machined from solid steel on a high-precision boring mill, this is where accuracy is set. Microns matter. Because everything that follows depends on it.
Step by step, the machine takes shape.
Components become assemblies. Assemblies become a fully integrated system — built, assembled and tested in-house to perform under the most demanding conditions.
Transport
And then comes the moment where engineering leaves the factory. A machine like the NM633 doesn’t simply get transported.
At 180 tons, it moves as a controlled operation. Planned, coordinated and executed with absolute precision. Because what we build isn’t standard and neither is the way it travels. It’s a impressive journey few people ever see.
