Flexible load handling with excavators and aluminium cross beams: SCHILLING impresses in off-road conditions

When gantry cranes reach their limits, SCHILLING's mobile lifting solutions come into play. Flexibility is required in rough terrain, on hard-to-reach construction sites or when transporting bulky loads – and this is exactly where SCHILLING's aluminium load cross beams show their strengths. Whether with an excavator, an indoor crane or a forklift truck – the combination of lightweight construction and modular design makes all the difference.

Challenge: lifting loads off the beaten track

On uneven terrain, a classic gantry crane is quickly overwhelmed. The requirements:

• Long lifting distances
• Flexible application options
• Simple and safe handling
• Adaptation to different load shapes (e.g. long goods or big bags)

A carrier system such as an excavator offers mobility, but requires a customised spreader bar for safe load handling.

The solution: Aluminium cross beams from SCHILLING – mobile, lightweight and modular

SCHILLING offers three well-designed variants of aluminium cross beams that can be perfectly adapted to the respective lifting task:

• Beam cross beams: Ideal for long goods. Thanks to the movable suspension hook, the load can be balanced with pinpoint accuracy.
• H-type cross beams: Perfect for wider or unevenly distributed loads – thanks to variable load pick-up points.
• Big bag cross beams: Designed for standard big bags with defined attachment points.

Each of these variants is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and made in Germany. In combination with an excavator or other carrier systems, this creates a flexible, mobile lifting solution for a wide range of applications.

Result: More possibilities, less effort

SCHILLING aluminium cross beams turn almost any vehicle into a powerful lifting system – with minimal set-up effort. Whether in civil engineering, on remote construction sites or in temporary projects: with SCHILLING, safe and efficient lifting is possible anywhere.
