Retractable Crane Loading Platform

Retractable Crane Loading Platforms are the back bone of material handling in high rise construction projects. They allow you to bring items to floors with a crane that are otherwise covered. When this is a with a fixed crane loading deck. The decks need to staggered as to not block a deck below. If you have a retractable deck, they can slide in to allow access from above. This means you can have the Crane Loading decks in line with one another in a standard column so the planning and logistics is easier. We manufacture the fixed and retractable decks so the clients have options.

Cantilever Loading Platform Sizes

Our Loading Platforms change in sizes based on what style they are, and the widths.

Widths of All Eichinger Crane Loading Decks:

2.2 Meters / 7’-2”

2.6 Meters/ 8’-6 ½ “

2.9 Meters / 9’-6”

3.2 Meters/ 10’-5”

4.2 Meters / 13’-9”

The Outboard reach is 17’ with the crane loading decks. Many decks on the market offer just 10’ of reach. If you have 5’ of overhang on the forms, this means you’ll struggle to get anything larger that 5’ long on the decks. It’s inefficient. People end up needing to open the gates of short decks on loads as short as 8’ because the crane load lines just can’t clear the forms and fit on the deck. Our Innovative solutions provide more space for the materials handling. Not only is that “nice” the tower crane is faster in and out. The result is savings. When we are talking about $500 an hour in savings, the savings on a single project can be nearly as much as the cost of the deck.

Easy Installation

Our decks are well balanced. This makes the installation of the crane loading deck a breeze on those upper floors. Instead of needing pipes to roll them in or lever hoists to pull them in, ours get right into position and wedge in off of the shoring quickly.

Built in Safety

Site safety is paramount to us. Our full sided fall protection systems are nearly 100% enclosed. These will STOP THE DROPS . The gates on the end enclose it so you don’t need fall arrest when on the crane loading deck unless the gates are opened for longer items. The ramps are low on our retractable for ease of use. The steel on the decking is diamond plate to help with traction. And most importantly, or crane loading decks have constant ratings. We find it to be unclear to people in the field to tell them that their ratings drop as the deck goes out. So we designed ours to have a customary rating of 11,000 lbs while fully extended. The result is we don’t confuse the users. If the deck in in position 3. it’s rated at 11,000 lbs at the center of the deck. It’s four, it’s the same. if it’s 5, it’s the same. You only need to know one rating with our decks. And to top it off, these are the highest rated retractable decks that I know of on the market. These are some heavy loads that nearly double the competitor Crane loading decks.

Powder Coat in your colors and advertise.

We have these decks with all of this space. Let’s advertise with it. If you are a General Contractor renting the loading platforms from someone else, it will have their names on them. If it’s your Crane Loading Deck, we powder it in your colors, then put a sign on it. Lighted, vinyl, Steel on the bottom so it’s facing the ground. We can ensure that the decks are ready for your signage. They are usually perpendicular to traffic and highly visible. Let’s make it yours so it sells the next job with your current job.

To Rent, or to Own

It was once the case that the best crane loading deck were a rental deck. So if you wanted the best decks, you’d rent. Today, we have the best retractable loading platform ratings through CraneGear.net. So if all other things are equal, and maybe you don’t care about the heavy loads we can carry, what’s the analysis?

Rentals typically cost the same as buying in one year. So let’s use a round number of $2000 a month to rent. In 30 years, that total cost is $720,000 to rent. This is without accounting for inflation. If we toss in inflation, the decks that cost $25,000 or so with shipping end up saving around a million dollars over 30 years with inflation. Spend 100k and save 4 million dollars. Some would call it a good deal.

Toss in having your name on the decks vs someone else’s and you have something really valuable.

Owning Crane Loading Decks requires some inspecting and paint that you can roll on every few years. It’s bearings and possibly a tiring wheel structure is about all we would have to worry about for maintenance.

Suitable for Specialty Contractors

When you need a suitable solution for your specialty contractors in getting large items up on the building, a crane loading deck is a great solution. The extra protection of going wide and the capacity to those contractors on demolition projects of in conventional construction for MEP contractors. They add efficiency in moving large glazing packages. They add efficiency in jumping down skid steers in demolition projects. The flexibility these add to how to get work done is just endless.

Conclusion

If you are doing high rise work, your projects will need crane loading decks. You can advertise with ours. We have the highest ratings on the market. If you want panelized decks, we might be the only company with those. Ship 13’ wide decks without a permit or pilot vehicle. Ours will speed up your materials handling with the tower crane and free up more time at tremendous profits. Site safety is improved vs decks with open handrails and gates on the end that eliminate fall arrest. And best of all, you’ll get exceptional customer service with Eichinger and CraneGear.net
