TRUNNION END UNITS

Trunnion end pieces are an innovative solution for attaching lifting equipment to modular spreader beams and complement the high-quality product range of the manufacturer OX & RUD Lifting Solutions. Trunnions allow for the direct attachment of round slings, lifting straps or ropes to the traverse – entirely without additional connecting devices such as massive shackles. Currently, these DTML Trunnion end pieces are available for the larger truss models with a load capacity of 110 t and above.

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

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

A trunnion end unit is a special component used as an alternative to standard end fittings on a spreader beam in heavy-duty applications. Unlike conventional fastening methods that require heavy shackles and drop plates, a trunnion fitting allows the sling to be attached directly. This significantly reduces installation height, time required, and the risk of assembly errors.

Due to its unique design, the manufacturer has decided to apply for a patent on this component. The key difference compared to similar solutions is that a pin ensures the upper and lower loops remain in place even under load and cannot slip over each other. This prevents friction and thus heat build-up, protecting the material.

Thanks to diverse fastening options, shackles and slings can be combined, or attachment points can be extended, e.g. for transporting water bags.
