Cantilever crane: the strong arm that does not clutter

Gru a mensola Eberle

Our Eberle cantilever cranes are an optimal lifting solution for companies that need to handle heavy loads in localised workstations. Designed and manufactured entirely in our factories, these structures guarantee reliability, safety, and maximum customisation for every production need.

Our production philosophy is based on total control of the supply chain. This strategic choice guarantees:

  • Total quality control on each component
  • Reliable and short delivery times
  • Maximum flexibility in customisations
  • Direct after-sales support

Technical characteristics of cantilever cranes

Definition and configuration

The cantilever crane is a variant of the jib crane. It is characterized by a horizontal swivel arm fixed to an existing vertical structure – typically a reinforced concrete pillar or a metal beam of the building.

Unlike column cranes, it does not require its own base on the ground: this means zero footprint and maximum efficiency in environments with limited spaces. The operator can thus move heavy or bulky materials in a fluid and safe way, using an arm with manual or motorized rotation.

Exceptional load capacity

Our cantilever cranes boast outstanding performances, such as:

  • Standard capacity: up to 2000 kg without problems
  • Special applications: up to 5 tons for special needs
  • Customisable arms from 2 to 7 metres
  • Rotation angles up to 270° according to configuration
  • Custom arms: tie-rod for maximum load capacity, cantilevered for low, articulated, or telescopic ceilings to circumvent obstacles and optimise the covered area.

Operational advantages

Optimisation of spaces

Shelf cranes offer significant advantages:

  • Zero floor space
  • Exploitation of existing pillars and walls
  • Installation in areas with reduced heights
  • Maximum freedom of movement in the area below

Ease of installation

The assembly process is quick and non-invasive thanks to:

  • Fixing systems with brackets and countertops
  • Chemical anchorage on reinforced concrete
  • Complete and ready-made installation kits
  • Minimal structural changes required

Customized line

Dedicated design

We have complete know-how to configure:

  • Arm length according to operational needs
  • Load capacity calibrated to the application
  • Optimal fixing type for the structure
  • Integration with existing lifting systems

Each solution is designed together with the customer and tailor-made, thanks to structural calculations and safety checks carried out by our technicians.

Professional installation and maintenance service

Specialized internal teams

The installation of the cantilever cranes is followed directly by our staff

This service includes:

  • Preliminary technical inspection
  • Installation certified according to regulations
  • Testing and commissioning
  • Staff training

Support and maintenance

We also guarantee a scheduled maintenance service on all our cranes, but also on systems not produced by us, ensuring operational continuity and safety over time.

Applications in various sectors

Eberle cantilever cranes are used in multiple sectors:

  • Glass industry: safe handling of slabs and windows through integration with suction cup systems
  • Marble and stone processing: lifting blocks and heavy slabs with dedicated mechanical grippers
  • Wood sector: handling of large panels, beams and furnishing components
  • Metal carpentry: handling of sheets, profiles, and welded structures
  • Internal logistics: optimisation of material flows in warehouses and production departments

Regulatory and future considerations

Regulatory framework evolution

The evolution of anti-seismic regulations represents a major challenge for the wall installation sector. The new provisions on structural safety require particular attention in the design of systems that are anchored to existing load-bearing elements. This awareness drives us to:

  • Design solutions that fully comply with current anti-seismic regulations
  • Prioritise systems that preserve the structural integrity of buildings
  • Propose technical alternatives such as self-supporting column cranes where required
  • Ensure complete certification and static checks for each installation
  • Collaborate with qualified professionals for structural assessments

Our experience allows us to anticipate regulatory evolutions and propose solutions that combine operational efficiency and full compliance with safety provisions, guaranteeing lasting investments and proof of future legislative restrictions.

Integration with other systems

Cantilever cranes integrate seamlessly with:

  • Electric chain or rope hoists
  • Suction cup lifting systems
  • Industrial manipulators
  • Specialised gripping accessories

This versatility allows you to configure complete solutions for every handling need.

Long-term investment

Cantilever cranes are not available for rent. Their nature as fixed structures, anchored to the building, makes them unsuitable for temporary uses. Buying a cantilever crane means making a long-term investment, designed to last for years, integrating permanently into the department, and growing together with the company.

Safety and reliability

Our cantilever cranes ensure:

  • Compliance with current safety regulations
  • Integrated safety devices
  • Load limiters and limit switches
  • Emergency braking systems
  • CE certification
