About SCHILLING Kran- und Hebetechnik

Since 1999, SCHILLING Kran- und Hebetechnik GmbH has been developing and manufacturing lightweight aluminium constructions at its Friedrichshafen site on Lake Constance. The product portfolio includes stationary and mobile aluminium gantry cranes with load capacities up to 3,000 kg, tripod gantries with manual or electric rope winches, multilifts, slewing jib cranes with a 360° slewing range, as well as lifting beams and accessories such as chain hoists, electric chain hoists and cabling systems. The components are 100% manufactured in-house in the company's own design and production facilities at company headquarters; only a few external parts, such as laser-cut individual parts, come from regional partners in southern Germany. The products are height- and length-adjustable, free-standing and can be assembled and dismantled in just a few easy steps without structural modifications. Customers include trade, crafts, commerce and industry, such as automotive workshops, shipyards, the pharmaceutical industry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, rescue services, wastewater technology as well as the aerospace sector, for example in satellite integration in clean rooms. Products are distributed via dealers, an own online shop and direct enquiries to Germany, Europe and worldwide.
