Type of work: Dismantling gravestones

Implementation:
Lazarevskoye Cemetery (Necropolis of the 18th century) is one of the museums of the State Museum of City Sculpture, located on the territory of the Alexander Nevsky Monastery.

The "Necropolis" was founded simultaneously with the creation of the St. Petersburg Alexander Nevsky Monastery in 1703 and was used to bury representatives of the highest elite of St. Petersburg society.

For the company ARLIFT there was an unusual task - it was necessary to dismantle a gravestone weighing 1500 kilograms in the cemetery.

Therefore, it was decided to use the Jekko SPD360 mini-crane.

The main advantages of a mini-crane are:

• Compactness,
• Availability of remote control,
• A light weight,
• Unmarked Caterpillars,
• Load capacity.

Work with cultural heritage - monuments of architecture, sculpture, work in museum complexes is not new to the mini-cranes ARLIFT. But each time the task is endowed with its own features.

In this case, the crane needed to be very carefully and compactly placed on the object - on the paths between the graves, without damaging the surrounding monuments, carefully dismantling and moving the tombstone.

The jewelry accuracy of the mini crane and the specialists of the Petersburg Sculpture Company made it possible to dismantle the tombstone without damage and shortcomings.
The diversity of objects and years of experience allow us to take on the most complex construction tasks.
