Column Slewing Cranes

Schmalz's slewing cranes are very versatile in their use, and can be combined with a chain hoist, rope hoist, rope balancer or chain hoist with lifting device. When installing the crane on a column, the pivoting angle is 270°. The crane can be installed freestanding in the room.

For a weight of up to 650 kg, the Column Slewing Cranes use aluminium crane rails. This guarantees extreme responsiveness. Once a load of more than 650 kg is to be lifted, steel crane rails are used.

All crane columns are anchor-ready, no additional intermediary plates are necessary.

Column-Mounted Slewing Crane – Comprehensive Basic Configuration

Basic Componentes:

Crane Column

• Crane column is suitable for anchoring


• Fast and easy installation


• Safe energy supply provided by internal cables and switch which can be integrated


• Necessary room height for erecting the crane column: height + 150 mm

Crane Jib

• Fast and easy installation

Power-Supply System

• Different sorts (electricity, compressed air, vacuum)

Motorprotection Switch Respectively Main Switch

• For switching the vacuum generator on and off.


• To protect the vacuum generator against excessively high currents

Anchor Bolts

To anker the Slewing crane in the ground.

Shear Connector Anchor Set

• For easily securing the crane column to a concrete floor (thickness: at least 200 mm, quality: C20/25)
