When gantry cranes reach their limits, SCHILLING's mobile lifting solutions come into play. Flexibility is required in rough terrain, on hard-to-reach construction sites or when transporting bulky loads – and this is exactly where SCHILLING's aluminium load cross beams show their strengths. Whether with an excavator, an indoor crane or a forklift truck – the combination of lightweight construction and modular design makes all the difference.
Challenge: lifting loads off the beaten track
On uneven terrain, a classic gantry crane is quickly overwhelmed. The requirements:
- Long lifting distances
- Flexible application options
- Simple and safe handling
- Adaptation to different load shapes (e.g. long goods or big bags)
A carrier system such as an excavator offers mobility, but requires a customised spreader bar for safe load handling.
The solution: Aluminium cross beams from SCHILLING – mobile, lightweight and modular
SCHILLING offers three well-designed variants of aluminium cross beams that can be perfectly adapted to the respective lifting task:
- Beam cross beams: Ideal for long goods. Thanks to the movable suspension hook, the load can be balanced with pinpoint accuracy.
- H-type cross beams: Perfect for wider or unevenly distributed loads – thanks to variable load pick-up points.
- Big bag cross beams: Designed for standard big bags with defined attachment points.
Each of these variants is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and made in Germany. In combination with an excavator or other carrier systems, this creates a flexible, mobile lifting solution for a wide range of applications.
Result: More possibilities, less effort
SCHILLING aluminium cross beams turn almost any vehicle into a powerful lifting system – with minimal set-up effort. Whether in civil engineering, on remote construction sites or in temporary projects: with SCHILLING, safe and efficient lifting is possible anywhere.

What is the advantage of an aluminium crossbeam over a steel crossbeam?
Aluminium crossbeams are significantly lighter, which simplifies both handling and transport. At the same time, they offer high stability and corrosion resistance – ideal for changing environments.
Can a crossbeam be mounted on any excavator?
Yes, SCHILLING cross beams can be adapted to common carrier systems such as excavators, forklifts or cranes. It is important to select the appropriate mount and cross beam for the respective load.
Which cross beam is best suited for unevenly distributed loads?
The H-cross beam. It offers several adjustable load attachment points, allowing even asymmetrical loads to be lifted safely.
