Last year Shuttlelift broke ground with the launch of a revolutionary new series of cranes designed to provide state of the art material handling solutions and a broad range of cost-saving benefits. 
The new SB Series rubber-tired gantry crane provides users with a highly economic solution in a competitive marketplace. Driven by superior engineering innovations and inspired by Shuttlelift customers, the company’s gantry cranes remain one of the premier lines in the machine handling industry. The newest SB series is no exception, offering additional lifting solutions proven to be effective in the fabrication’s SL and ISL mobile gantry crane series.
In today’s marketplace components are getting longer and tandem picks are becoming more common. The Shuttlelift SB series offers an effective solution with several lifting scenarios from 15 to 100 ton cranes and is a productive alternative to overhead cranes, boom cranes, reach stackers, forklifts, crawler cranes, or rough terrain cranes. It can also be used in conjunction with a customer’s existing conventional rubber-tired gantry crane, regardless of brand.
Another distinctive application of the Shuttlelift SB gantry crane is as an alternative to permanent overhead bridge cranes. The SB single beam gantry offers superior economic benefits compared to the expense of overhead bridge cranes or retrofitting a building for greater crane capacity. The SB gantry crane only requires the door to be of sufficient size, with adequate headroom, to operate anywhere within the confines or outside of the building. Possibly the best feature of all is that if a company outgrows its current facility or decides to relocate, the crane can be disassembled and moved to a new location.
“As always, we are constantly looking for ways to accommodate the needs of our existing customers and offer new customers a thoughtfully designed and integrated solution for their lifting needs,” according to Kurt Minten, director of industrial sales. “We are particularly excited with the SB Series concept and believe we are delivering value for money, again.”
With over 55 years of mobile gantry crane experience, Shuttlelift specializes in meeting the needs for a simple lift in a commodity setting or customizing a crane for a specific need. For more information send e-mail to sales@shuttlelift.com or visit [www.shuttlelift.com].
