Shuttlelift
17 March 2014Shuttlelift will be showing its SB Series single-beam, rubber-tyred, mobile gantry crane. The SB Series mobile gantry cranes’ compact size and smooth maneuverability allow users to maximize their use of space both inside and outside their facility. Instead of spending significant resources on a building’s foundation and structure to accommodate an overhead crane - and then investing in separate lifting solutions for outdoor spaces - users can use a single-beam gantry crane both indoors and out.
With an articulated pivot trunnion, the SB crane's frame flexes with uneven terrain. Planetary drives mean the crane will move very smoothly when accelerating or decelerating, which gives the operator very precise control of the load.
Available single-beam gantry cranes can manage loads from 30- 100USt and greater, perfect for single-point picks that include loads such as nacelle hubs. To do the same with a conventional gantry, for example, would need a spreader beam to bring the unit to a single pick point. The single-beam gantry, on the other hand, is ideally suited for this sort of task; the load pivots around one point.
