Sarens is supporting port infrastructure operations at the Port of Barcelona through the precise repositioning of 25 reefer gantries, delivering a controlled skidding solution in an active port environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project, executed for Esteyco, required to adjust these gantries to the exact working position. To ensure long-term operational reliability, the structures needed to be carefully shifted rather than dismantled\u2014calling for a tailored engineering approach.<\/p>\n

These gantries are placed below the 24\/7 \u2013 non stopping working automatic rolling gantries at this storage area of the Terminal. To meet the challenge, Sarens deployed its LP 123 skidding system in combination with hydraulic jacks and a dedicated bracing system. The solution was selected as the lightest suitable configuration in the Sarens fleet, offering the control required to handle the gantries, each weighing approximately 30 tonnes and standing 12 metres high while measuring just 2 metres in width.<\/p>\n

That narrow footprint added complexity to the operation, making stability management critical throughout each stage. The team followed a precise sequence, jacking each gantry, skidding it into final position and lowering it onto newly installed anchor bolts. Variations in bolt alignment required constant fine adjustments, reinforcing the need for experienced operators and close on-site coordination.<\/p>\n

Logistics were kept efficient, with all equipment transported by truck from Wolvertem (Belgium) and assembled on site within two days for the first gantry. The skidding works were carried out by a compact Sarens crew, demonstrating how specialised expertise and engineered systems can deliver safe and efficient results with minimal footprint.<\/p>\n

Despite the technical and site constraints, the operation progressed smoothly across the 25 gantries, handled in stacks of five. The skidding system performed as expected, enabling controlled movements and accurate final positioning throughout the project duration.<\/p>\n

Running from November 2025 through February 2026, the project highlights Sarens\u2019 capability to deliver corrective engineering solutions in complex industrial and port environments\u2014where precision, planning and execution are essential.<\/p>\n
