Aluminium Gantry Crane

Aluminium Gantry Crane for own use

It is good that we have our own tools for lifting, lowering and moving of different loads on hand.
Due to a maintenance application in our entry hall, the steps leading to the upper level of our offices needed to be lifted.

Coincidently, the steps are also a self made construction by SCHILLING Gerätebau.
The load was lifted to allow the concrete to be renewed.

A lateral stand from a stationary crane was placed on the ground level.

The beam support as well as both adjustment feet were adjusted to the maximal attachment point height of the bolt of the Park Brake Trolley, so that a very large height difference could be compensated for.

On the upper floor a useful accessory article, a Wall Bracket, was used.

Both crane components were then attached with a relatively short aluminium beam. For a similar application for a client, a separable resp. pluggable beam would be best suited. For this application the client would then have used only one piece of the beam. For many future uses of the crane the complete crane with combined beam would be used.

Through the use of 2 Park Brake Trolleys, each fitted with a Chain Hoist, the steps were able to be easily lifted to allow the work to be undertaken. Here the portable Aluminium Gantry Crane was the perfect solution.

In the mean time our self designed and constructed steps made of Aluminium and wood have been lowered once again and the Crane removed with little effort. The work is almost complete.
