Engine crane for automotive workshops
When the engine must be removed, every move counts. There is no room for experimentation in automotive workshops—here, you need technology that lifts reliably.
SCHILLING aluminum gantry cranes, multilifts, and slewing cranes are designed for workshops where engines, transmissions, and body parts are moved. Our lightweight cranes and other aluminum lifting equipment are used wherever power and control come together: when changing engines, working on the underbody, or fitting heavy components.
Whether standard models or custom-made products, all SCHILLING products are developed and manufactured in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance and are used worldwide.
Gantry crane for the workshop
The SCHILLING aluminum gantry crane is an all-rounder in the workshop – always in demand when pure muscle power is no longer enough. Thanks to its modular design, it can be set up in a matter of minutes, adjusted in height, and lifts engines, aggregates, or components with a load capacity of up to 3,000 kg.
Even in cramped car repair shops or in confined spaces, the gantry crane shows its strength. It can be moved under load, is stable on uneven ground, and can be operated by just one person.
- Your advantages at a glance:
- Load capacities up to 3,000 kg
- Height-adjustable portal legs
- Tool-free assembly and disassembly
- Mobile under load (depending on model)
- Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum construction
- Suitable for chain hoists, electric chain hoists, or manual winches
A true all-rounder – for workshops, assembly halls, or vehicle construction.
Engine crane and engine lift for workshops
Whether classic engine hoists or multilifts with counterweights as engine cranes – our systems support mechanics precisely when pallet trucks or lifting platforms reach their limits. For example, when working in the engine compartment, moving truck axles, replacing units, or in confined spaces.
The SCHILLING Multilift can be moved under load, can be completely dismantled, and impresses with its compact design. It can be equipped with a manual or electric cable winch and is quickly ready for use, even in small workshops.
Perfect for testing facilities, training centers, or mobile workshop teams that value flexibility, safety, and durability.
In addition to gantry cranes and multilifts, SCHILLING offers a wide range of complementary lifting technology for the workshop area:
- Aluminium Slewing Crane with 180° or 360° swivel range – stationary or wall-mounted.
- Cross beams with rotating hooks for precise balancing of heavy engines
- Hand winches, electric chain hoists, and chain hoists for precise, safe working
- Lateral extension beams for gantry cranes and customized special solutions
- Transportation boxes for quick mobile use.
All systems combine lightweight construction, precision, and safety—making heavy workshop work noticeably easier.
