HYU-Handling lifts delicate objects safely and cleanly to the next level
Clean, smooth and durably protected
Arnaud Fremersdorff, the owner of HYU-Handling, is a specialist in managing complex lifting and assembly projects. His expertise lies in safely and efficiently handling heavy and fragile objects, even in the most confined or hard-to-reach spaces. From monumental artworks to expansive glass façades and valuable electrical installations, Arnaud ensures every project is executed with precision and care.
“I work with fragile objects in pristine environments. Everything has to be perfect: the crane, the surfaces, and even the lubricant I use,” Arnaud shares. His daily work with delicate items has made him acutely aware of the importance of clean, well-lubricated, and reliable equipment.
Why the right lubrication matters
Cranes, whether in museums, construction sites, or ports, face harsh conditions. Telescopic booms and guides are constantly exposed to dirt, sand, moisture, and, in some regions, salt. These elements can cause seizing, wear, and messy workplaces due to excess grease.
Arnaud recalls, “My truck crane came second-hand from Scandinavia, where booms are often heavily greased to protect against sand and salt during winter. When I bought it, the extension sections were massively over-greased. In my line of work, that’s unacceptable, dripping grease on artworks or glass is simply not an option. I needed a lubricant that provides excellent performance without sticking or attracting dirt.”,
The solution: A complete cleaning and lubrication approach
To address these challenges, Interflon recommended a comprehensive four-step process to clean and re-lubricate Arnaud’s crane:
- Remove old grease and dirt layers
- Clean with Interflon Degreaser EM30+
- Wipe away residues with Interflon Power Wipes
- Lubricate with Interflon Lube EP+featuring MicPol® technology
(This advanced dry lubrication film prevents dirt attraction and eliminates dripping.)
Benefits
This method delivered immediate and noticeable results for Arnaud:
- Smoother operation: Booms and guides now run lighter with reduced friction.
- Extended service life: Enhanced protection against wear, dirt, and corrosion.
- Clean environments: No dripping grease, no stains on floors or objects.
“The result was amazing,” Arnaud says. “So clean, yet perfectly lubricated. Within a few hours, it felt like my crane had been given a new lease on life.”
A solution for all cranes
The benefits of Interflon’s approach extend far beyond handling delicate objects. Construction cranes, port cranes, and industrial installations can all gain from the use of a dry lubrication film. Interflon products help keep cranes in peak condition, ensuring cleaner operation, less wear, and reduced downtime.
