Project Details

This long-term client requested relocation of multiple new and existing Jacquard Looms into a new location. 

Problem: Moving Jacquard looms ordinarily requires removing the Jacquard head from the mezzanine and harness, requiring many hours per loom to rethread the harness.

Solution: By using creative rigging techniques to move Jacquard head, mezzanine and harness intact, diggins & ROSE significantly reduced downtime.

1. The threaded Jacquard harness and mezzanine. (The head is above the mezzanine.)

2. Prepping the mezzanine for a safe transfer across hundreds of feet of factory floor.

3. Using neoprene skates to move the units minimizes potential damage to the floor.

4. A hydraulic forklift is used to assist in transferring the intact unit across the floor at controlled speed.
