Hydraulic gantry
Power lifting equipment for a wide range of special tasks
Hydraulic lifting gantries, special cranes, forklifts, move in equipment and transport vehicles proof that the name SCHOLPP is synonymous for special equipment unique in Europe. We guarantee you the best rigging equipment available on the market for every project. Our SCHOLPP special lifting systems in their various forms are the key performers. The mechanical cable wire gantry, hydraulic lifting systems or combined hoist gantries and special designed constructions were created for different technical and spatial requirements.
Even if mobile cranes can now be built compactly, they are not always the better solution. Lifting gantries are often the preferable option, especially when it comes to moving and precisely positioning machines and systems in confined spaces.
50 years of experience in operating lifting gantries at SCHOLPP
SCHOLPP used its first mechanical lifting gantries from the early 1970s for installation projects in the printing industry. The task here was to position heavy and completely pre-assembled printing units. The first hydraulic lifting gantry in Europe SCHOLPP used in 1987. Lifting its load capacity of 600 tons it could be extended up to 9 m in height. Using this equipment reduced set-up times and production downtime for the customer. Changing installation and rigging situations in the 1990s then called for a more compact lifting gantry with a load capacity of 150 tons that could be extended up to 9 m in height.
With each passing decade, the system became more sophisticated and technically advanced. In 2001, SCHOLPP acquired the largest system to date with a lifting capacity of 1,000 tons. Various beams gave this system a variable span. A electronically controlled synchronous lift offered the greatest possible safety. Today, all safety-relevant movements of our gantries are monitored by on electronic control system. The adjustable track widths and the axle compensation of the chassis guarantee an even, safe load distribution and therefore maximum work safety.
Comprehensive capacities for every industry
With our lifting gantries and other special rigging equipment, SCHOLPP is prepared for every project, regardless of its dimensions and complexity. Whether complete relocation or partial installation, requirements can be met by our lifting systems. The modular principle of the lifting gantries makes a wide variety of assembly solutions possible. This allows SCHOLPP to adapt the lifting system perfectly to the space situation and the goods to be assembled. The mechanical cable gantry system has hydraulically extendable tower sections and a variable drive which controls all three lifting and transport axes (x/y/z) precisely and can position all loads exactly.
Lifting gantry TG 180: small, light strong
Tremendous lifting height with low overall height - this is what characterizes the generation of lifting systems that extended the SCHOLPP equipment in 2018. Three-stage hydraulic cylinders with integrated controls provide advantages for assembly in confined spaces. The electronic synchronization ensures precise, smooth extension of all hydraulic cylinders that are combined to form the gantry. The technical data show the impressive performance: the 4-point lifting system with 4 lifting columns has a very low basic height and a very low dead weight. It can be extended to approx. 7,200 mm. The load capacity of the system extending the first cylinder is up to 180 tons. It can be controlled manually and remote. Up to 4 columns can be connected using a synchronized lifting system.
Lifting gantry TG 320: maximum of variability
The runway and track widths of the TG 320 lifting system are variable, that means that it remains mobile even when things get tight. The TG 320 combines highest technical standards, maximum flexibility and compatibility with other systems in a compact design and low power consumption. The technical data prove right: 4-point lifting system with 4 lifting columns, extendable to approx. 9,300 mm, variable rail track from 760 mm to 960 mm, load capacity of the system in the first cylinder stage up to 320 t. The system can be controlled manually and via remote control. Up to 4 lifting columns can be joined due to the synchronized lifting system.
