Mobile aluminium gantry crane for precise lifting operations at huge heights
During the renovation of a church, those responsible faced several major challenges: Heavy loads had to be moved safely at great heights while working in a sensitive environment, within confined spaces and without the possibility of a permanent installation.
A mobile SCHILLING aluminium gantry crane in an extra high version was used for the project. The mobile gantry crane enabled precise lifting operations directly inside the church and impressed with its flexible positioning, quick assembly and precise handling of heavy loads.
Challenges during the church renovation
Renovation and restoration work in historic buildings places high demands on the lifting technology used. Especially in church renovation projects, several challenges often occur at the same time:
- no possibility for floor anchoring
- confined spaces
- sensitive and protected surroundings
- heritage preservation requirements
- changing operating locations
- difficult transport routes
- safe movement of heavy loads indoors
- large lifting heights
Particularly in sensitive indoor areas, flexible and mobile lifting solutions are required that can be used without a permanent crane installation.
The solution: Mobile SCHILLING aluminium gantry crane in an extra high design
For this project, the choice fell on an extra high aluminium gantry crane from SCHILLING. The mobile aluminium gantry crane could be flexibly positioned within the church interior and used at changing operating locations.
Thanks to its mobile design and lightweight aluminium construction, the gantry crane could be transported easily and assembled quickly despite its size. At the same time, the construction offers high stability and enables precise movement of heavy loads.
Especially during renovation work in high rooms, a mobile gantry crane with a large lifting height offers decisive advantages compared to fixed lifting systems or stationary crane installations.
The extra high aluminium gantry crane enables safe working even at great heights and is particularly suitable for temporary lifting operations without a permanent crane system.
Technical advantages of the extra high aluminium gantry crane
The SCHILLING aluminium gantry crane used for this project was specifically designed for demanding lifting operations at great heights.
Technical data overview
