Slewing Crane Rope Unit
Wide reach by slewing around the column.
A pneumatic slewing-jib rope unit: the jib slews around the column, covering a circular area of up to 5 m, while the rope unit raises and lowers the load sensitively.
Operating principle
Schematic representation
60kg
Capacity
5.000mm
Horizontal reach
1.500mm
Standard stroke
900mm/s
Lifting speed
How it works
One pivot, a five-metre circle.
The jib swings around the column and covers a full circular area. Within it the rope unit lifts and lowers smoothly – right wherever work happens around a station rather than along a line.
-
1
Column (pivot)
Fixed column around which the jib slews.
-
2
Slewing jib
Rigid jib with a reach of up to 5 m.

3
Pneumatic rope unit
Raises and lowers the load sensitively on the rope.
The working cycle
Picking up
Attach the load to the rope unit.
Lifting
Sensitive, stepless lifting.
Slewing
The jib slews around the column to any point within a 5 m circle.
Positioning
Set down precisely and with low reaction.
Applications
Wherever loads are moved precisely.
02
Machine loading
For metal and plastics processing: place workpieces safely into machines and fixtures, without reaching into the danger zone.
03
Order picking & packaging
In logistics and consumer goods production: move boxes and containers sensitively – consistent output, spared backs.
04
Workpiece handling
In tool and mould making: guide heavy parts safely and position them precisely.
05
Food industry
For dairy, beverages and meat: usable hygienically with a food-grade Rilsan coating.
06
Explosion-proof areas
In chemicals, coatings and pharmaceuticals (ATEX zones): approved and safe in the explosion-proof version.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about the Slewing Crane Rope Unit
5,000 mm of reach – is the payload enough for that?
The unit is rated at 60 kg including the tool. Payload and reach are linked: reaching further means either less load or a stronger column. Long reach at modest load is exactly this unit’s field.
When is a slewing crane better than a rail system?
When one station has to cover a large circular area. As soon as several stations sit in a line, the rail is the cheaper answer.
Is a mobile version available?
Yes – besides column and rail, also mobile on a base plate. The ballast weight follows from payload and reach; at 5 m of reach it is correspondingly high, and we calculate it in advance.
Applications

Application
Moving drums in hazardous areas
The zone is in the document. The equipment follows from it.
View ApplicationChanging moulds on the injection moulding machine
The machine is not idle because it is broken. It is idle because it is being set up.
View ApplicationLoading panels onto the CNC
Two people carry the panel. One of them carries only its size.
View ApplicationTipping and emptying containers
The container is not hard to lift. It is hard to meter.
