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.

Trunnion end units – Benefits

There are numerous advantages to using innovative trunnion end units, especially in heavy-duty applications:

Reducing working height
By eliminating the need for large, massive shackles, the overall height of the lifting solution is reduced, as slings can be attached directly to the modular spreader beam.
Easy and quick assembly / dismantling
Thanks to the innovative trunnions from OX & RUD Lifting Solutions, the lifting equipment is not only simple to transport but also easier to store. The elimination of heavy shackles allows a stress-free handling during assembly and disassembly. The reduction in work steps also optimizes setup time.
High versatility
The trunnion end units can be used in a variety of ways. It is possible to use only lifting slings, work with slings / shackles on one side, use only shackles, or use additional attachment points.
Higher security
Handling large and heavy shackles carries a certain risk of accidents, which is reduced in this case if only flexible slings or lifting straps are used.

Trunnion end units – Application examples

If you want to save time, weight, and money when lifting heavy loads, trunnion end units are the perfect solution. Combined with the modular spreader beam systems from OX & RUD, loads can be moved safely, easily, and quickly – without any unnecessary additional weight.

Trunnion end units offer maximum flexibility and versatility in the heavy-duty sector.

Below are a few application examples using DTML trunnions. Thanks to this innovative and efficient addition, modular spreader beams can be used as follows:
