THE SINGLE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO OTHER LIFTING METHODS No Stability Concerns Because the load is lifted directly under its frame, an SB Series gantry crane can lift loads without the stability concerns associated with boom cranes. Compare this to the stability-limited rated loads or factory-calculated capacity charts that operators of crawler cranes, all-terrain cranes, rough-terrain cranes, reach stackers and forklifts need to determine the maximum safe load for working and traveling speeds. With an SB Series gantry crane, you won t need to worry about misinterpreted charts or about substantial lifting-time preparation. SB gantry cranes also require less operator training, and you ll benefit from reduced load damage expenses. Pick & Carry Operations Pick and carry operations are easy for an SB Series gantry crane, which allows you to operate on a variety of surfaces from concrete and asphalt to unimproved dirt and gravel. Without the stability concerns associated with boom cranes, you ll also have increased efficiency and productivity while enjoying an extra margin of safety. Traversing Capabilities Reach stackers and forklift cranes are good at handling loads of certain sizes. The SB Series gantry crane, on the other hand, can be customized to lift your material based on specifics such as width and height. And once it s lifted, the SB gantry crane offers better maneuverability for accurate load placement. Flexibility Indoors and Outdoors As an alternative lifting solution, SB Series gantry cranes offer impressive cost savings. Compared to overhead cranes or rail-system cranes, SB gantry cranes reduce the amount of money you ll need to spend on a building s foundation or infrastructure. The SB gantry crane can be fitted to your existing facility, and you ll have the additional flexibility of using the machine indoors and outdoors, depending on your needs. This mobility gives you additional functionality. Rather than requiring you to adjust your operation to suit fixed equipment, we design and build our machines to suit the unique needs of your business. Structural Integrity Shuttlelift s SB Series gantry crane and its sister SL and ISL Series mobile gantry cranes provide unique lifting solutions, and we ve designed them to structurally withstand heavy loads better than most through our articulated pivot trunnion, which allows the crane s frame to flex without putting additional strain on its structure. With our cranes, you can work in a variety of site conditions and over uneven terrain with a load while keeping that load safe and secure. Tandem Lifting We ve gone a step even farther with the SB Series. With its single-beam structure, an SB gantry crane has a tighter turning radius than a traditional gantry crane when picking in tandem. You can use two SB gantry cranes to lift in tandem, or a single machine can work in conjunction with other mobile gantry cranes or other lifting equipment. Our SB Series gantry cranes provide versatility, reliability and an extra measure of safety. That s a formula that will allow you to improve your operations and grow your business. Kurt Minten, Shuttlelift s Director of Industrial Sales IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOW THEM ALL. Unlike competitive lifting methods, the new SB Series single-beam, rubber-tired gantry cranes are ideally suited to a broad range of industries, and we re literally discovering new applications every day! Our SB Series gantry cranes can manage loads from 15 to 100 U.S. tons, perfect for single-point picks. To do the same with a traditional gantry, for example, you would need a spreader bar frame to bring the unit to a single pick point. And now, with manufactured components being built to longer lengths, it has become increasingly common to transport these items by tandem lifting. Shuttlelift s SB Series gantry cranes also can be used in conjunction with a conventional rubber-tired gantry crane that may already be on site, regardless of brand. 4 5
THE SINGLE BEST WAY TO GET MORE FROM YOUR INVESTMENT. Shuttlelift s Articulated Pivot TrunNion allows the crane s frame to articulate while it travels over uneven terrain without causing structural damage or risking the safety of the load. Our Wireless Remote Control increases operator visibility of the load, improving operational safety and ensuring maximum maneuverability. The remote is laid out in the same format as the backup operator cab controls for an extra measure of efficiency and safety. The Main Frame s high-strength, low-alloy steel and box-section design maximize the crane s durability. The BackUp Operator Cab provides important backup to the wireless remote control in the event that the remote is lost or damaged. For easier, safer, more efficient operation, the cab controls feature the same layout as the remote. WITH Bottom Beam-Mounted Winches below the lower side beam, the operator can easily see the winding of the cable, and you can perform needed maintenance without having to climb a ladder or rent a manbasket. We wrap our hoses in Cordura covers to protect them from harsh elements and to extend the life of your investment. Shuttlelift s Easy-Access Engine Compartment allows all routine maintenance points to be easy to reach. Powder-Coated Carbon Steel Hydraulic Tubing and Zinc Plated BOLTS & Pins mean that our fasteners resist corrosion and oxidation when exposed to the elements. Simple touches like these ensure that Shuttlelift s cranes offer the highest possible quality. OPTIONAL FEATURES DESIGNED TO GET EVEN MORE FROM YOUR INVESTMENT SB CAPACITY With Shuttlelift s Automatic Variable Throttle (AVT), built-in engine programming automatically adjusts engine speed to draw only the power you need to complete the task at hand, significantly reducing fuel consumption.

SHUTTLELIFT PROVIDES INCREASED GRADEABILITY through additional wheel motors that allow its SB gantry cranes to travel over inclined, uneven or sloped surfaces.
