TRUNNION END UNITS

Trunnion end pieces are an innovative solution for attaching lifting gear to modular spreader beams and complement the high-quality product range from the manufacturer OX & RUD Lifting Solutions. Trunnions enable the direct attachment of round slings, lifting straps, or ropes to the beam – without the need for additional fasteners such as solid shackles. These DTML trunnion end units are currently available for the larger spreader beam models with a load capacity of 110 t and above.

The result: less weight, shorter setup times and reduced costs.

DTML Trunnion end units for spreader beams with a capacity of 110 to 1,350 t

A trunnion end unit is a special component alternative to standard spreader beam end units for heavy-duty applications. Unlike conventional attachment methods that require heavy shackles and drop links, a trunnion system allows the sling to be directly attached. This significantly reduces installation height, time required, and the risk of installation errors.

Due to the unique design, the manufacturer decided to apply for a patent for this component. What sets it apart from similar solutions is that a pin ensures that the lower and upper slings stay in place even under load and cannot slip over each other. This prevents friction and thus heat buildup, and protects the material.

Thanks to a variety of fastening options, shackles and slings can be combined or attachment points can be expanded, e.g. for the transport of water bags.
