Drahtseilschwertransporte im Hochgebirge (Band 2)

Great driving skills and "nerves of steel" are the prerequisites for transporting wire ropes into the high mountains. The roads are rarely asphalted, the last few meters often consist only of loose gravel. Any driving error can be life-threatening.
Michael Müller was there again when it came to exciting new heavy wire rope transports in the high mountains: Piztal Glacier, Zermatt, Ischgl, Stubai Glacier and others.

Autokran & Schwertransport: Berichte aus früheren Jahrzehnten

Nowadays, heavy goods weighing several hundred or even thousands of tons can be moved with apparent ease by mobile cranes and heavy transporters. Around fifty years ago, much smaller loads posed a real challenge. At that time, the heavy athletes, who today seem small, made a name for themselves with their creative pioneering achievements.

In this book, Wolfgang Weinbach presents completed truck crane and heavy load stories with previously unpublished photos from the era of roll film photography:
- Large module transports at Krupp in Wilhelmshaven
- Truck crane 120 GMT
- IMONTA trade fair premiere 1974
- NPP steam generator loading 1973
- DEMAG TC 1000 S
- Krupp lattice boom cranes.

Schwertransporte für die Energieindustrie

Everyone needs energy; without it, life according to today's standards is not possible. Despite all the alternative energy, the base load is still generated using the tried and tested method.
The units in the power plants are not only incredibly heavy, they are also huge. Transport is becoming more and more difficult: weak bridges, roundabouts, infrastructure. And it is becoming more and more exciting!

The transformers, generators and turbines are the "big chunks" of heavy transport. Michael Müller has been tracking these transports for 25 years. He presents the results here with a wealth of unique, mostly unpublished photographs.
