When Should I Upgrade or Replace my Rubber Tire Gantry Crane?

If your company currently utilizes rubber-tired gantry cranes for various applications in the steel, precast, energy and data industries, it may be time for an upgrade for improved safety, performance and uptime. As a rule, most cranes have a 20–25-year major component replacement lifespan. Therefore, if you are the owner of a

Shuttlelift ISL or another brand of crane you should explore the advancements of the Shuttlelift SB and DB models. In addition, customers with busy, constrained yards, upgrade from forklifts to our Shuttlelift rubber-tired gantry cranes because of their minimal storage footprints and all-wheel steering modes: crab, transverse, carousel, and coordinate, giving operators ultimate control.

Customers also upgrade to Shuttlelift when they have outgrown the restrictions of their overhead crane for production and material Handling. With unlimited mobility, Shuttlelift can transport loads safely from indoors to outside yards.

With refined design, power options and a myriad of customized options, we will create a unique solution to meet your lifting needs and exceed your expectations. As a global Leader in industrial rubber-tired gantry cranes, Shuttlelift out-smarts, out maneuvers and our performs the market.

DB Series earns its reputation for strength, durability, and relentless performance.

The SB Series dominates the world of modular construction, heavy fabricators, and industrial yards. With a wide range of custom attachments, there’s virtually nothing we can’t lift. These cranes are essentially an overhead bridge crane without the restrictions of the track. Our single-beam rubber tire gantry cranes are built to take on the most demanding applications with confidence and cost efficiency.
