Dear customers, employees and friends
of the Scheffer company,
News from other companies of the Scheffer group
Thomas Scheffer
Shareholder and General Manager
of the Scheffer company group
Jörg Koglin
Managing Director
Scheffer Krantechnik
You are now holding in your hands the
Scheffer News 2013 – once again in the
familiar format, yet somehow different.
For the Scheffer company group,
2012 was once again a year full of
exciting projects and interesting meetings
– there is so much to report about
Scheffer Krantechnik alone that we have
devoted a separate issue of the Scheffer
News to this area.
Whether on TV, in the newspapers or
on the Internet – every day we hear of
more and more “bad news”, because
as they say: “Bad news is good news”,
since it always sells better. But can we
and do we want to let it really affect us?
With this issue of the Scheffer News,
we show once again that things can
also be different. We present to you
exciting and positive news, companies
that are investing, looking ahead and
recognizing and taking the opportunities
offered by the markets. Good news
is also provided by the success stories
of our collaboration with other large
companies of our region. For us, they
symbolize the strength and innovation
of our times. And even if a large portion
of Scheffer personality goes into each of
our projects, we want to show you even
more of ourselves this time – with a personal
presentation of our outstanding
and competent employees of the service
& maintenance department.
With great respect for the current state
and in anticipation of what awaits us in
2013, we hope that you enjoy reading
the latest Scheffer News.
Best regards,
Thomas Scheffer

Strong on site
Volkswagen, Osnabrück
The Münsterland and the adjoining
region are beautiful, green, equally traditional
as innovative and an attractive
place to live. We at Scheffer are firmly
rooted here, we love the landscape, the
people and the good ideas that are developed
here – just like many other large
and internationally operating companies
which are based here. So we are always
especially pleased when we are contracted
for projects in the region. There
is much here that is close to our heart,
including these regional projects which
we carried out last year:
The address is also simultaneously part
of the history of Volkswagen Osnabrück
GmbH in the Karmannstraße: More than
3.3 million vehicles have already come
off the line. Following the takeover of
Karmann by the newly founded Volkswagen
Osnabrück GmbH in 2009, around
1,800 employees today work in the
business areas of technical development
and vehicle construction. The annual
capacity is approx. 100,000 vehicles. The
automotive location belongs to the tradition
of Osnabrück, as also traditionally a
long-standing relationship with Scheffer
for the supply of cranes. The more than
20 years of stable and smooth operation
of the now indispensable Scheffer crane
in pressing plant 2 was the occasion
for deciding to give it an update to the
current state of the technology: Scheffer
integrated new crane controls with
a safety-PlC to performance level D as
well as new frequency-controlled motor
technology for the crane and trolley
movement and the main hoist gear.

Schmitz Cargobull, Vreden
www.cargobull.com
They are now a constant sight on European
motorways – the trailers with
the elephant logo. With around 45,000
vehicles produced annually, Schmitz
Cargobull AG is the market leader in
Europe.The challenges that had to be
over come included the three-shift continuous
operation, positioning accurate
to the millimeter, high load capacity and
speed. The solution: suspension cranes
from Scheffer with special bogies with
a movement speed of 80 m/min and a
load-carrying capacity of 12.5 tons. The
special bogies are particularly designed
for these high and permanent stresses,
are extremely resistant to wear and ensure
the continuous production process
for Schmitz Cargobull.

BWG, Georgsmarienhütte
ClAAS, Harsewinkel
The production record of the Betonwerk
Georgsmarienhütte GmbH & Co.
KG (BWG) is well worth a look – on a
production area of around 40,000 sqm,
75,000 tons of reinforced concrete parts
are produced annually. The four binder
lines are particularly important, which
process 800 parallel, pent roof and saddle
roof binders with individual lengths
of up to 45 m every year. There is
therefore a lot to do at BWG, such as the
transport of long reinforced concrete elements
from the production hall into the
external storage area. For this purpose,
Scheffer planned, built and installed two
identical special crane systems each of
16 tons capacity.
It all started with the idea of August
ClAAS to found a small company for
the production of hay balers – that was
exactly 100 years ago. The simple hay
balers of the time have now been succeeded
by high-tech combine harvesters
and field shredders, which are in demand
all over the world.
The company headquarters in Harsewinkel
has developed into a flagship of modern
agricultural technology. Intelligent
production processes and sophisticated
logistics ensure the optimal utilization of
the machines. For the transport of sheet
metal packages and individual sheets
into the process chain, Scheffer has now
supplied a radio-controlled twin-beam
stacking crane with a capacity of 3.2 tons
at the crane fork. Special features include
the multifunctional load-carrying adjustable
in five axes with 4 load forks for
vertical lifting and lowering, unlimited
slewing, inclination of the fork carrier,
horizontal adjustment of the two inner
load forks and vertical folding up of the
two outer load forks by 90°.

Miele, Gütersloh
Millions of people on five continents
wash, rinse and dry with Miele household
appliances. To produce large
numbers in top quality, everything must
fit perfectly. This also applies for the
new Scheffer double girdle crane with
32/20/3.2 tons load-carrying capacity,
which is used for the production of a
new product generation. It was necessary
to cope with a limited space availability
in front of a 1,600 tons large
press and a highly versatile range of
tasks – overall, a challenge perfectly to
our taste, which we were also happy to
accept because of the long-standing and
good cooperation with Miele. Within a
few months, the new crane with three
hoists and cantilever trolley for repair
and maintenance work could be brought
into operation.

Improved efficiency is no magic
The project began with requirement for
more efficiency and handling volume of
the existing high bay racking, as well as
the realization that the existing orderpicking
crane needed support to turn this
requirement into a reality. At the end of
the project, the Thomann employees are
delighted with a streamlined solution
with greatly improved efficiency-two
new Scheffer cranes with magnetic lifting
equipment, even greater load-carrying
capacity and high speed.
And we at Scheffer? We in turn are delighted
over the warm compliment from
the senior engineer of the Thomann
equipment and quality management
department, who informed us by e-mail:
“The delivery of the two cranes took
place on schedule, and the assembly and
acceptance were also perfectly organized.
Even my wish to include some paint
of the original Scheffer white was amply
fulfilled. I thank you on behalf of the Thomann
Company and ask you to pass on
these thanks to everyone concerned at
Scheffer. The employees are particularly
excited by the semi-gantry crane.”
Project data at a glance:
• load-stabilized Scheffer semi-gantry
magnetic crane, twin-trolley version
• In service in the high bay racking
• load-carrying capacity 2 x 2.5 tons
• Magnetic lifting equipment for the
transport of 3 – 6 m of material
• Magnetic transport up to
max. 3.4 tons

Where service takes priority
“It's always a good choice to invest in
customer satisfaction”, as we say at
Scheffer. “That’s right”, the leaders of
the VRW Iron- and Steel Trading Company
in Schwäbisch Gmünd agree. And
only ten years after the foundation of
the company, VRW decides to invest further
5.2 million euros in extending their
warehouse facilities. The impressive
result of the 5,500 sqm extension: VRW
is now a full-range supplier with all possibilities
of further processing and can
even better fulfil its customer requirements
as a capable sub-contractor.
Today, 110 employees are working on
an area of more than 12,000 sqm to
make these individual requirements
come true with the usual speed and
reliability, but now with significantly increased
storage capacity. Scheffer made
a great contribution to this convincing
speed of handling at VRW in the form of
three load-stabilized crane and magnet
systems to transport rolled and hollow
profiles, rod and quality steel and yokes.
The special features of the system include
weighing equipment, demagnetization,
special stacking-cradle adapters
and automatic trolley positioning.
Technology
The motorized swiveling Scheffer yoke
pick up systems allow the transport of
up to three layers of the known Kasto
stacking cradles.
Due to the absolutely narrow design
when folded, which is no wider than
the traverse, the magnetic transport of
small tubes or narrow girders is possible
without any limitations.
In addition, this transport is supported
by the semi-automatic positioning for
the crane and trolley traveling. This increases
safety and reduces the transit
time tremendously.

New construction with fully automated carrier
processing
All-round service, speed and flexibility
are today in demand more than ever in
the steel and metal industry. A capable
and cost-efficient logistics chain plays a
particularly decisive role in this respect.
After a four-year preparation and construction
phase, G. ElSINGHORST Stahl
und Technik GmbH put into operation
its plan for a fully automatic plant at the
new location of Voerde on the lower
Rhine. The result was a consistent overall
concept for one of the most modern
plants of all for steel trading and construction.
At the same time Elsinghorst
made the change from traditional steel
trading to a production business with a
ratio of 80 % processing prior to delivery.
In the ideal case there are only three
points of contact between personnel
and material all the way from delivery to
loading. The employees are actively supported
by four load-stabilized Scheffer
single girder cranes with magnetic lifting
equipment.
Project data at a glance:
60,000 sqm new company site.
Two new halls each 164 m long,
32 m wide with a total area of 10,500
sqm. Four load-stabilized Scheffer
cranes with magnetic lifting equipment.
The Scheffer magnetic lifting
equipment enables the transport of
rolled profiles with dimensions ranging
from 80 to 1000 mm with only
one magnet device. The load-carrying
capacity of the crane systems is
15 tons each, which is carried out by
two trolleys.

Individual – Durable – Innovative
Where thousands tons of material and
products with enormous dimensions
are moved and processed every day,
there is no space for experiments. Safety
and efficiency take top priority in steel
trading and processing. This is also
acknowledged by the market leader in
the Benelux countries, AncoferWaldram
Steelplates (AWS), based in Oosterhout
in the Netherlands, who commissioned
us once again with the delivery of a
crane. The task of the new crane is the
loading and unloading of trucks and the
charging of the firing table. Our business
was the construction of a turntable crane
with least design height and equipped
with load-stabilized hoist. Regardless
of the slewing position and direction of
travel, this guarantees especially stable
movement without swinging – for quickest
handling times with simultaneous
protection of the machines and humans.
Developed in-house, the cable reeving
enables the greatest possible pickup
spacing of the rope anchorages at the
traverse with minimum offtake from the
cable drums. We were therefore able to
achieve the necessary small approach
dimensions with a total load-carrying
capacity of 35 tons.
Scheffer and AWS: two companies with
a passionate understanding of their business
– and yet another successful joint
project.

Drive and optimism pay off
Hanns Heidberg,
Managing Director,
Carl Spaeter Südwest GmbH,
Karlsruhe
www.spaeter-karlsruhe.de
Disturbances in the Arab world and debt
crises in Greece, Italy and Spain – the
effects can also be felt clearly by us. The
customers of the southern European
steelplants are fast disappearing. The
result: They are putting pressure on the
German market through low prices. Admitting
defeat however does not come
into question for domestic steelplants.
They are confidently maintaining their
position in the market and ensuring the
confidence of customers with quality and
service “Made in Germany” – just as at
Spaeter Karlsruhe. The 180 employees
service a product range extending from
tubes, mats and formed steel to rod steel
and beams and large-size quarto sheets,
and also offer a tailor-made service ranging
from the latest cutting techniques
such as water jets, laser, oxyfuel and
plasma cutting. Also, it is possible to rework
the corresponding flame-cut parts
on 2 bending benches. And despite, or
rather because of the crisis, the company
has just invested in a 25 x 175 m large
new hall for the processing and storage
of sheets. 15 million turnover increase
per year is the declared objective of
Spaeter managing director Hanns Heidberg,
from this new production extension
alone. An ambitious target, just as
impressive as the dimensions of the hall
with its bright and friendly working environment.
The steel plates which Spaeter
processes primarily for bridge, hall and
stadium construction are up to 3 m wide
and 16 m long – this requires sophisticated
logistics which is perfectly tailored
to the hall size. In addition to the existing
cranes, which were relocated from the
existing store into the new hall, Scheffer
supplied a load-stabilized 5 tons magnetic
crane for the removal of burnt steel
parts on a flame-cutting system and a 2 x
12,5 tons load-stabilized magnetic crane
which is used to unload large and heavy
steel sheets magnetically from a ship.
The safety of personnel and machinery
is paramount in such operations and is
strictly defined in DIN EN 13155. Scheffer
therefore obviously took into account
and complied with these regulations in
the design and production of the magnetic
engineering.
In the second phase, Scheffer supplied
three more load-stabilized magnetic
cranes for the transport of beams, pipes
and stacking cradles in the existing halls.
And what makes us particularly proud:
This is the 15th time that Spaeter
Karlsruhe has placed its confidence in
the expertise of Scheffer Krantechnik – to
be continued.

To grap with cables – It is possible!
Cement production in lägerdorf has a
long history – the building material has
been produced here for over 150 years,
since 2003 under the name of Holcim
AG. As a subsidiary of the worldwide
construction materials group Holcim
Deutschland AG, the three basic principles
of the company – “Strength. Per-
formance. Passion.” – are in evidence
everywhere and at all times. Increased
performance was also the reason behind
the replacement of a grab crane, which
took place on the occasion of the company
anniversary. Following the conversion
of another crane five years ago,
Holcim once again opted for the Scheffer
complete package. Key points were first
worked out together, such as material
logistics, requirements and the material
types and flows to be handled. This was
followed by the actual implementation,
in the form of delivery of the mechanical
and electrical components, the complete
assembly, and the commissioning and
automation. The work included the replacement
of the hoist gear trolleys with
cable-grab hoist gear, the grabs, the sensor
equipment and the switch room and
complete controls. A 4-cable grab was
used, which was integrated into the automation
system with the proven Scheffer
cable-grab controls.
Holcim is well-equipped for the future, if
not quite for the next 150 years, with the
possibility of integrating a second crane
with shared tasks, which was prepared by
Scheffer in the course of the renovation.
Closing gaps in demand and raising the profile
www.holcim.de
“High-quality castings made by the
hands of experts” – as the Gattermann
iron foundry summarizes its activities.
And we could not describe it any better,
having been able to convince ourselves
personally of the claims, quality and
working methods of this 80-year-old
traditional company during our assembly
and installation of the new charging
crane. Because the company of Gattermann
is also taking a big step towards
the future and has invested in two new
melting furnaces, the extension and conversion
of the existing charging bunker
and a new hall with a charging crane and
storage boxes – all in order to be able to
respond faster and better in the future
to customer requirements, for example,
concerning the composition of the melt.
The fast and efficient charging of the
wagons for four furnaces will be carried
out in future by a Scheffer charging
crane with magnetic lifting equipment,
with a scrap magnet of 1.45 m diameter,
robust Scheffer hoist gear with 6.5
tons capacity proven and other proven
Scheffer components. The integration of
the crane into the production process is
taking place in two steps. First, the crane
was equipped for manual operation with
a radio control and prepared for automatic
charging. This will be followed in
2013 by the second step, the extension
to complete automation with adjustable
recipes, recipe management and balanced
charging and bunker data.

High-tech to the last detail
When you are enjoying a cool beer in
the evening, there is every chance that it
found its way into the bottle via a filling
system supplied by the Krones company,
or that it was brewed in Krones brewing
vessels. The Krones group based
in Neutraubling is a market leader in
process, filling and packaging technology
and intralogistics. The Steinecker
plant of Krones AG is located in Freising
in Bavaria. At this location they design
and manufacture constructions for the
brewing and process technology and
develop new technologies for the production
of beer. This requires stainless
steel tanks with a diameter of up to 14 m.
The philosophy of Krones AG includes
a large production depth in order to
reduce manufacturing costs and avoid
interface problems, so they produce the
tanks themselves. For Acid cleaning and
cleaning, an employee must be able to
move safely around the tank and also inside
of it. For this purpose, Scheffer supplied
a telescopic gantry crane mounting
an above-floor working platform. The
construction was specially equipped
for personnel transport in cooperation
with the SGS-TÜV with corresponding
safety devices and subjected to type-approval
testing to EC Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC Appendix IV and BVG-D6.
The Krones employees can now get to all
the necessary points of these large tanks
safely and conveniently.

Service in the southern Urals
At least since our lead article in Issue 12,
readers of the Scheffer News know that
Scheffer has long since been a partner in
demand in Russia for complex crane systems,
especially for the modern galvanizing
plants being established there. What
was still in the starting blocks a year ago
is today a firm reality – for example in
Juschnouralsk. Here on the eastern edge
of the southern Urals, a hot-dip galvanizing
plant to the latest technical standards
has been constructed under the direction
of the general contractor Koerner
KVK. The plant produces and galvanizes
mainly lattice power masts for the updating
of the Russian infrastructure. The
galvanization of external products is also
logistically possible and planned. The focus
of the complete production process
is not only on quality and efficiency – the
private investor group has also taken
the greatest care to ensure compliance
with the latest environmental protection
measures, and from the very start has
invested in fully encapsulated pre-treatment.
Production has been underway
since mid-2012 – with the active support
of the latest Scheffer transport technology.
Pre-treatment, galvanization and the
integrated passivation line work fully automatically,
and the other areas manually
like the fitting and dismantling areas.

Now also in a galvanized version
The name of Dhollandia is synonymous
throughout Europe with lifts, loading
platforms and tailgates of the highest
quality, rightly making it the major manufacturer
in this field. Since its foundation
in 1968, Dhollandia has already produced
over 380,000 loading platforms,
and today over 30,000 loading platforms
leave the company’s production line
every year. As a supplier to well-known
automotive and commercial vehicle
manufacturers such as Schmitz Cargobull,
Dhollandia has now responded to
the increasing demand for galvanized
parts on tailgates with the establishment
of its own hot-dip galvanizing line. Why
is the demand increasing? Quite simple
– durability and design are also coming
to play an increasing role with commercial
vehicle manufacturers. Galvanized
tailgates, together with the already
galvanized chassis, provide a uniform
look and therefore clear added value for
the customers. The new tailgates are
manufactured in Predmier in Slovakia.
Scheffer supplied and installed for Dhollandia
a fully automated galvanizing line
for an annual capacity of 10,000 up to
15.000 tons per year from their standard
component catalogue.
Marián Kalman,
Production manager
Faster and better results thanks to a patented
pumping station
“We are extremely satisfied with
the equipment provided by Scheffer
and would be happy to work
with Scheffer again in the future.”
If a relative movement between pickling
the material and acid is created
during the pickling process, the time is
reduced significantly and the material
surface quality noticeably improved.
Scheffer supplied its patented pumping
station for every pickling bath, in which
the equipment is located outside of the
acidic pre-treatment, and therefore guarantees
a very life time circle.

A successful partnership
A new face in the Scheffer sales team
We built the first joint plant in Rendsburg
for Hobby-Wohnwagenwerk. Since
then, we have built a total of 20 plants all
across Europe from Russia to France, the
Netherlands, Slovakia, Estonia, Hungary
and other countries. These Europe-wide
references have written an impressive
success story of the perfect working relationship
between our two companies for
the benefit of our common customers.
26-year old Simon Kurras has found
his place in the Scheffer sales team. A
competent, amenable and committed
graduate Business Administrator, who
has been taking care of the needs of
our new and existing customers since
November. With training as an information
technology assistant, dual degree
and more than two years of experience
in marketing and sales with a mediumsized
special engineering company, he
brings with him the ideal requirements
and the necessary know-how for the job.
Working for Scheffer Krantechnik Sales,
Simon Kurras aims to provide comprehensive
and personal support and
advice to solve the unique challenges
of every customer. This attitude fits in
well with ours and we are confident that
Simon Kurras will master his new tasks
as a point of contact for complex crane
& transport technology, especially in
the area of heat-galvanizing. We look
forward to working with him and wish
him good luck and great success in our
company.
Meeting challenges successfully
www.koerner.at
Our partner introduces himself
The company‘s headquarters is in Wies,
30 km to the south of Graz in Styria. In
1986, the company‘s founder Hans Koerner
sold the company to a private group
of investors. At that time the company was
renamed to „Koerner Chemieanlagenbau
GmbH“. One of the investors took over as
director of management, Mr. Franz Wurm,
who forms the management board together
with Fritz Nerat. Koerner plans and
builds complete hot-dip galvanizing plants
as well as metal pickling plants for pipe
and stainless steel works. The company
has approximately 100 employees at the
Wies location. There are 25 employees in
project planning, project handling, engineering,
and after sales service as well as
75 employees in 2-shift production where
the key components such as the pickling
tanks, fume extraction systems and control
systems are built. These plants are exported
to more than 50 countries. The share of
exports has been consistently higher than
90 % of total turnover. Koerner technicians
set new standards with the development
of the KVK-pickling system. These are
completely encapsulated pickling facilities
which guarantee a pickling operation
that is very efficient and in compliance
with all environmental standards while
making optimum use of the pickling bath
temperatures. This concept has succeeded
on the European market and was also the
prerequisite for the working relationship
with Scheffer. The transport logistics for
galvanizing plants developed by Scheffer
is an ideal complement to the KVK-pickling
system. Together, we are now in a position
to build complete hot-dip galvanizing
plants.
Crash barriers, barrier posts, construction
site fencing, bollards, speed bumps
and beacons – there is practically nothing
that the company AXIMUM near
Paris cannot provide when it comes to
traffic technology on Europe’s roads.
No wonder, since in 2009 more than 20
specialized companies with over five
decades of experience in the field of
road and safety technology pooled their
know-how in the newly founded company.
AXIMUM is today a subsidiary of
the COlAS group, the world’s leading
provider in the field of road construction.
Many of the products offered must
withstand high mechanical and thermal
stresses and are therefore galvanized for
a long life time circle. For this job, Scheffer
supplied a crane which was designed
specifically for long-term use above the
zinc bath. For this purpose, the 4.5 tons
zinc bath housing was suspended to
move with the crane. The AXIMUM project
is a good example of the extensive
and individual product range of Scheffer
Krantechnik. Again and again we have
been able to score with our experience
in the planning and installation of special
cranes for difficult locations, such as in
acidic atmospheres or the high temperatures
above a zinc furnace. The continual
confidence of our customers contributes
significantly to the fact that we are
prepared to take on these challenges and
lead them to success with passion.

comes to your crane conversions, in
particular conversions in the area of
electrical work, such as radio remote
control, frequency converter drives etc.
The sports-minded family man demonstrates
endurance not only in his job,
but also by regular jogging and even the
occasional Marathon.
Christoph Pundsack
We know that the smooth operation of
cranes has top priority with our customers.
Delivery and installation of spare
and wear parts – just in time – play a
decisive role. If you have requirements
for your system, whether from Scheffer
or other crane manufacturers, this is the
man to call: Christoph Pundsack, certified
mechanical engineer with 20 years
of professional experience, including 16
years in crane and conveyor systems.
Professionalism, customer focus and
speed are the characteristics which
distinguish the work of this 44-year-old
family man and thus repeatedly confirm
the first-class quality of the Scheffer
service team.
Tatjana Gedigk
The 26-year-old trained industrial business
management assistant has been
representing both competent and charming
women’s power in the service team
for almost two years now. She quickly familiarized
herself with the acknowledged
male domain of crane technology and is
today responsible for the specialist areas
of “maintenance” and “accident prevention
regulation” to BGV D6. Do you need
a quotation for spare parts after accident
prevention regulation? Or do you have
any other questions relating to wear and
spare parts for your crane system? Ms.
Gedigk will be happy to assist you and
provide you with a prompt quotation.
Ralf Eggersmann
He knows exactly what he is talking
about: Ralf Eggersmann, 33 years old
and father of two children, decided 17
years ago for an apprenticeship as a
metalworker and thus for a career in
the field of crane technology. Today he
can look back on more than 13 years of
professional experience and is a contact
partner much sought-after by our
customers when it comes to the area of
“maintenance” and “accident prevention
regulation” to BGV D6. His particular
special subjects are maintenance scheduling
and calculations of the remaining
service life. Due to his outstanding
expertise, he is considered as the “spare
parts specialist” in the service department,
who can face even the greatest
challenges with a cool head.
Andreas Höllmann
The thoughtful planning and organization
of a project has a decisive influence
on its success. This is the guiding principle
of our assembly manager Andreas
Höllmann, who – with his planning skills
– again proves that Scheffer Krantechnik
is rightly amongst the market leaders in
its field. As a metalworker, the 47-yearold
has not only the knowledge, but also
the personal flair to successfully plan
and schedule installations in Germany
and abroad. A father of three, flexibility
is a must for Andreas Höllmann, who
therefore regularly and successfully
directs our installation and technician
deployments according to the motto:
“Nothing is impossible”.
