Forklift industry solution

Slew drives for forklifts, attachments, and industrial trucks.

In forklifts and attachments, slewing drives are frequently installed in a vertical position to rotate, position, or swivel loads in a controlled manner. ATH Technik supplies matching slewing drives in various series, ranging from compact solutions to the robust Extreme series for outdoor use and demanding environments.

Slewing drives for vertical installation positions material handling equipment
Vertical-mount slewing drives for attachments
Suitable series for compact and heavy applications
Extreme series for outdoor use and maritime conditions
Design according to load, torque, speed, and installation space
Typical application

Lifting, slewing, and precisely positioning loads.

In materials handling technology, slewing drives are used when attachments need to be rotated or swiveled in a controlled manner. The vertical mounting position is particularly common because it allows the slewing drive, mounting, and tool to be integrated compactly.

01

Vertical installation

For fork truck attachments where the slewing drive is installed vertically and rotates or positions loads in a controlled manner.

02

Attachments and special solutions

Slewing drives are suitable for customer-specific devices, rotating equipment, grippers, or positioning units in industrial truck technology.

03

Field deployment

For outdoor applications or in harsh conditions, the Extreme series can be a suitable solution for higher requirements.

The right series for your application.

Depending on the load, installation position, and environment, different slewing drive series can be considered. For compact attachments, lighter or heavy-duty series may be sufficient. For outdoor use, high loads, or particularly demanding environments, the Extreme series is of interest.

  • Horizontal or vertical mounting position
  • Compact design
  • High holding and torques
  • Extreme series for outdoor use

What data helps with the request?

For a quick technical assessment, we need information on the load, the desired angle of rotation, the mounting position, and the available installation space.

  • Load / Weight
  • Torque
  • installation position
  • Hole pattern / Installation space
