LUDWIGTRAVERSE

Spreader beam system for balancing loads

Ludwig Traverse

Born from a customer request: not just to release the load by radio (see Ludwig Hook), but to bring it to the right tilt beforehand. A hydraulic cylinder shifts the centre of gravity until the load reaches the desired tilt.

Our combined remote control both aligns and releases the load — all at the push of a button, no manual intervention. Under certain conditions (cranes with a rigid arm), a hydraulic rotator can also add the desired rotation.

Certified by TÜV SÜD

Every Ludwig System product is tested for compliance with the relevant standards by TÜV SÜD — and we often go beyond the minimum requirements.

Balance & position

Level the load, or tilt it to any angle

Born from a customer request: not just to release the load by radio (see Ludwig Hook), but to bring it to the right tilt beforehand. A hydraulic cylinder shifts the centre of gravity until the load reaches the desired tilt.

Walls usually need to be brought level, while roof elements often need a specific pitch. Our combined remote control both aligns and releases the load — all at the push of a button, with no manual intervention. Under certain conditions (cranes with a rigid arm), a hydraulic rotator can also add the desired rotation.
