Through multiple contracts with Fusion for Energy (F4E), De Pretto Industrie has developed advanced capabilities in the design and manufacture of custom handling and lifting equipment for Big Science, fusion, fission, and aerospace projects. These systems ensure the safe, precise, and often automated movement of large, heavy components in complex environments such as cryostats, vacuum chambers, and high-load assembly zones.

From cryogenic lifting systems to magnet handling tools, De Pretto’s solutions support high-accuracy assembly operations across a variety of mission-critical sectors.

Fusion-Proven Performance: Tools deployed in ITER and other fusion projects, demonstrating reliability in demanding operational conditions including vacuum, cryogenic, and high-radiation environments.

Precision and Control: Equipment designed for multi-degree lifting and alignment, featuring automation and control systems for repeatable, high-precision operations.

Versatility in Design: Adaptable to different configurations and component geometries—including in-cryostat transport systems and high-capacity engine lifters.

Cross-Sector Utility: Suitable for fusion and fission power plants, aerospace programs and advanced R&D environments requiring heavy-duty handling solutions.
