Aluminum tripod from SCHILLING
An aluminum tripod – often referred to as a tripod, tripod stand, or mobile aluminum tripod – is a compact lifting system that can be used wherever stationary cranes cannot be used, but loads need to be lifted, secured, or recovered safely.
Thanks to its lightweight, telescopic aluminum construction, the tripod can be quickly set up, flexibly positioned, and safely transported. This makes it the ideal solution for temporary lifting tasks. In combination with an electric cable winch, the tripod becomes a powerful lifting device that can move even heavy loads with ease. The electric drive ensures precise, safe, and ergonomic working—whether on the construction site, in industry, during maintenance work, or in rescue operations.
SCHILLING Kran- und Hebetechnik offers customized tripod systems—from standardized aluminum tripods to custom-made designs with electric cable winches. Whether for rescue services, industry, or trade, we develop solutions that precisely meet your requirements. Like our other lifting products, our tripods are also 100% “Made in Germany” in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance.
