Flender gear units for cranes, hoisting and luffing gear systems are economical and efficient. Alongside the extensive range of extremely compact standard gear units FLENDER offers application-specific gear units with a large overall center distance that enable parallel fitting of motor and winding drum, even with large drum and motor diameters.
The gear-unit series is ideally suited for operation on container cranes and bridge cranes, that is, where a parallel motor-and-winding-drum arrangement is required. FLENDER industrial gear units for lifting and luffing gears are available in a broad transmission range for torques ranging from 10,000 up to 1,400,000 Nm.

Slewing gear drives are used to position driven machines. They are proven in many different applications, such as cranes, excavators, and drilling platforms. Flender gear units for slewing gears have a modular design.
They can be combined with a long or short lantern gear drive on the output side. The mounted output pinions are manufactured according to the customer’s specifications. On the input side, we offer solutions for both electric motors and high-speed or low-speed hydraulic motors, some of which are already standardized.
One frequently requested alternative, particularly as a gear unit for slewing gear drives in bucket wheel excavators, consists of a FLENDER planetary gear unit with a bevel or bevel helical gear unit on the input side. The drive motor and a brake are arranged on a bracket on the gear unit, so that the system no longer needs to be aligned on site. A brake is always mounted between the motor and the gear unit in order to fix the boom in a defined position. An overload safety mechanism can additionally be provided on Flender gear units for cranes and slewing gears to protect the boom and the drive against inadmissibly high loads.
Your benefits at a glance
Compact, space-saving design
Low weight
Low noise level
Variable lantern gear drive lengths acc. to the customer’s specification
Modular design creates increased flexibility and multiple mounting options
No alignment on-site due to bracket with motor, gear unit, brake and coupling
Customized solutions for specific projects
Option of eccentric installation to enable the backlash to be adjusted between the pinion and the girth gear
Optimized sealing systems prolong the service life
Applications
Cranes
Excavators
Drilling platforms
Whether it is trolley travelling-gear, or rail-borne or tyre-borne travelling-gear, every application makes quite specific demands of gear-unit design that have to be taken into consideration. The Flender gear units for cranes, trolley and travel gear systems optimised for these areas of application stands out for highest possible reliability, highest possible quality and long service life, whatever the loads placed on the gear units, for example, on container cranes. Output torques from 10,000 up to 75,000 Nm can be realised for these Flender gear units for cranes, trolley and travel gear systems.
