3. EN-HE-Heavy Handling Section Mandate
prepares, organizes and executes all transport and handling operations for accelerators and experiments and CERN users in general
manages several supply, service and rental contracts
During the standard CERN operation phase ~55 FTE are provided via an industrial support contract for transport and handling activities.

4. Main contracts
S172 Altéad (CH) : 55 (up to 100 FTE) for transport and handling operations
C002 Frederici (CH) : Mobile crane and exceptional transport operations
B1257 L2S (FR) : Mobile crane operations
CERN - ITER workshop

5. Transport & handling requests
All requests are created via EDH (ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT HANDLING SYSTEM).
Standard fields such as height, width, weight, place of loading and unloading,… but also
Specific fields to define the nature of the material (fragile, radioactive, chemical, …)
By default all transport and handling activities are covered up to CHF 500,000 by the contractor. This amount can be increased upon request (invoiced to requestor).
