Safe lifting: When height becomes a challenge

SCHILLING aluminium gantry crane in extra-high version

During the renovation of a church, those responsible faced a unique challenge: heavy loads had to be moved precisely and safely at significant heights—within a sensitive environment and with limited space.

The solution was the SCHILLING aluminium gantry crane in an extra-high version.

On-site requirements

• High lifting height for work inside the church 
• Safe handling of heavy components 
• Flexible use without permanent installation 
• Careful handling of the existing building structure 

Our solution in action
With a suspension height of up to 5.50 m and a load capacity of up to 3,000 kg, the gantry crane was able to reliably meet the requirements.

Thanks to its mobility, the crane could be flexibly positioned directly on site - ideal for changing lifting points within the building.

Precise movement in both longitudinal and transverse directions enabled exact alignment of the load, even under demanding conditions. 

The result

• Efficient transport of heavy loads at huge heights 
• High level of safety for both personnel and materials 
• No intervention in the existing building structure required 
• Smooth and efficient renovation process 

Our conclusion
Especially in unique environments such as churches, the strengths of flexible lifting solutions become clear: maximum height meets maximum adaptability.

Extra-high gantry cranes are now a standard part of the SCHILLING product range and available at short notice - ideal when projects do not allow for long lead times.
