In 2014, MHE-Demag supplied the moving mechanism for the retractable roof system of the Singapore Sports Hub. It carries the 2,200 tonne load of the roof (approximately the same weight as 1,830 cars) and takes approximately 20 minutes to fully open or close. This activation is issued by a single ‘start’ button in the Event Control Room. The driving mechanism consists of 16 line pull winches, 32 holding storm-brakes, energy chains and an advanced electrical control system. Each of the 16 winches is equipped with two independent inverter drive motors. To this day, MHE-Demag is still appointed to conduct maintenance service for moving mechanism of the retractable roof system.

Another breakthrough has been achieved when MHE-Demag was awarded a contract in 2014 by Siam Kraft Industry Co. Ltd. for the delivery of five fully automated cranes. The cranes will be used in two paper-roll shipping stores in the Ratchaburi province. MHE-Demag cranes equipped with mechanical roll grippers provide for fast and, above all gentle storage of the paper rolls. The scope of delivery also includes the installation of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) for management of the stores and control of the crane systems. The crane systems are assembled and installed and the value of the installation is maintained by the service network provided by MHE-Demag.
