LISI | Bon Voyage!
2013/08/21 | all news, photogalleries,

This is it, the day everybody has been working towards and waiting for. A final controlling look is being cast onto the loading diagrams. Check! The sound of the last container closing its doors is overshadowed by the sound of 6 huge trucks slowly making their way up the mountain. They have come to pick up LISI, or rather, LISI’s individual parts. Two days were dedicated to properly loading the trucks; this included weighing each container to ensure road safety regulations were met both in Austria, as well as the United States. Palfinger was giving us a helping hand by providing a brand new powerful mobile crane. Their largest actually.

LISI’s next stop will be Salzburg, where she is being transferred onto a freight train headed for Bremerhaven, one of the larger cargo ports in Europe. From there on, the route’s humidity will increase dramatically. Crossing the Atlantic with a wooden house is not to be taken lightly. Luckily, we have professionals from Deufol cushioning each container with moisture absorbing bags hence thereby dramatically reducing the risk of component damage.
