For several months, I’ve been asking our Lithuanian friends — Tadas Salkauskas and the team at MachineryAssist — to share the stories I had heard from them firsthand.
Not because they are entertaining (although they are), but because they are useful. Useful to everyone who works with heavy, complex, and especially premium-class equipment.
A few years ago, something unusual happened in our industry. Several premium equipment manufacturers built waiting lists stretching 25–30 months. As a result, the secondary market for high-end corrugated machinery exploded.
And that’s when the industry realized something critical: relocating machines is just as complex as playing a symphony orchestra. And not everyone can conduct that symphony
Thousands of Trucks. Dozens of Corrugators. Zero Room for Error
Over the last decade, MachineryAssist has transported thousands of truckloads of industrial equipment around the world. In recent years alone — dozens of premium corrugators and converting lines.
Their experience shows that relocation projects are not about trucks or cranes alone. They are about details.
Sometimes one day of downtime costs more than the entire relocation project. A single missing license for a highly qualified crane operator in a foreign country can delay a project by a full week
Who could have predicted that?
That’s why real-world experience matters more than scale, promises, or PowerPoint plans.
A Göpfert Line with 10+ Ton Sections — Arrived on Eight Trucks, Left on Nine
In this new video, MachineryAssist demonstrates the dismantling of a Göpfert Flexo Printing & Rotary Die-Cutting Line — a complex system that was fully tested before any dismantling began. Only after confirming correct operation did the team proceed.
The conditions were challenging: limited ceiling height; minimal side clearance, individual sections weighing over 10 tons, there was no room for improvisation — only: precise planning, a strict sequence of operations, coordinated use of forklifts, scissor lifts, rollers, and cranes.
Special attention was given to the electrical scope. Hundreds of cables, dense layouts, sensitive electronics. This phase required tight coordination between mechanics and electricians. Every component was dismantled, labeled, packed, and protected with long-distance transport in mind.
In the end, a line that originally arrived on eight trucks was shipped out on nine — accounting for additional conveyors and auxiliary systems.
A clean site, an organized workflow and predictable results. That’s what professional dismantling looks like when experience and engineering discipline work together.
Thank you, Tadas and the MachineryAssist team, for sharing their video and their hard-earned experience. I hope you’ll appreciate it.
