New Production Facilities
Hammar Lift, Inc. USA anxiously waits for the new production facility in Grand Terrace, CA, which will be finished early in 2008.
Shipment Arrives
Another container arrives in CA and as always….it is full.
Trailer frames and the Crane Sets are made in a very modern HAMMAR factory in Olsfors Sweden, for export to over 85 countries around the world and now….to the USA. All other components to make US DOT approved trailers; axles, hubs, wheels, brakes, suspensions and lighting are sourced in the US by Hammar Lift, Inc. west coast operation, where the trailer manufacturing and final assembly is done.
Unpacking is Tedious Work
Trailer frames made in Sweden coming out of the container.
It is hard to believe…….a sideloader manufacturer unloading a container while it is sitting on the chassis, but when sales sells everything by the time it is ready, or before, you have no choice.
It will be great when the drayage company gets their sideloader and can set it on the ground for unloading.
Unloading at Ground Level
Unloading the container at ground level is what it’s all about.
Safe, fast, less problems and……..it’s the way it was loaded!
In Assembly
A New HAMMAR 20/40/45/48 telescoping trailer is ready for crane mounting and then moved into the finishing stage.
The 195 C Combinated telescoping trailer with sliding cranes will handle one 20’, 2 x 20’, one 40’, one 45’ or even 48’ containers with load up to 33 Metric Tonnes or 73000 lbs. |

HAMMAR INCREASES AGAIN
Hardly the concrete of the last construction had dried before Hammar in Sweden (HQ) builds out additional production premises.
It is the high demand around the world on HAMMAR´s sideloaders, both new units and factory renovated second-hands, that justifies this new increase.
When completed by the end of 2006, the 2500 square meters premises will be used by our new maintenance unit, serving existing Hammars and restorating second-hands to be shipped to new missions and new customers.
- “The removal of our maintenance unit to these new premises will release longed-for production´s surface in other parts of the factory”, says production manager Sven-Gunnar Östangård.
Connected to the new premises also a new wash hall will be built. |
