The tilting table is the ideal solution for safely and precisely rotating (concrete) elements.
With the help of a tilting table, you can safely rotate tall elements that exceed transport height limits, making them easy to handle and install. Suitable for elements weighing up to 17 tons.
The tilting table is a machine designed to safely and controllably rotate elements up to 17 tonnes by 90 degrees. Large elements that need to be installed vertically are often transported horizontally, as they would otherwise not fit on a truck.
1 - The element is lifted horizontally, placed in the tilting table, and secured.
2 - With the push of a button, the tilting table tilts the element 90 degrees using a hydraulic cylinder and slewing ring. After tilting, the element can be connected to the crane in vertical position and lifted to its final installation position.
The tilting frame is available in two versions: a model with a capacity of up to 15 tonnes and a model with a capacity of up to 25 tonnes.
1 - The element is transported horizontally and, using a crane, placed onto the tilting frame and secured. During the tilting process, the frame supports one corner of the element.
2 - The crane hook is then attached to the short side of the element. The crane tilts the element together with the tilting frame, in a controlled manner, around this corner into a vertical position. Once the element is upright, the tilting frame can be detached and the element can be installed vertically.
Safety – The element rests on a robust frame, for which Bomecon calculates in advance whether the dimensions and weight can be safely tilted. The tilting process is carried out stably and in a controlled manner at the push of a button, ensuring a high level of operational safety.
Damage minimisation – Damage is prevented because the element is evenly supported on two sides, provided the element has a 90‑degree corner or the tilting table is adapted to the element. This uniform support prevents local overloading, which poses a risk with alternative methods.
Efficiency – The tilting table is a fast and efficient working method that requires only one crane to tilt an element. This results in savings in crane time, man‑hours and equipment costs.
Additional crane – The element is lifted horizontally on the long side and attached on the short side to a second crane. The element is then tilted in the air using both cranes, after which one of the two cranes is disconnected and the element is installed vertically. This method requires two cranes and is therefore often a costly and space‑intensive solution.
Tilting frame – The element is placed horizontally with one corner into a rounded frame and clamped. As a result, the other corner rests on the ground instead of the full side, which creates a risk of damage, while during tilting the opposite corner is heavily loaded. Due to its compact size, a tilting frame is less stable and may move across the floor, making a flat and unobstructed surface essential. In some cases, this solution is still necessary due to limited space, lack of alternatives, or a restricted budget. Upon request, a tilting frame is also available from our own range.
Sand – The element is placed flat in loose sand and then lifted on one side to be hoisted vertically. This method requires a sufficient amount of loose sand on site. It often causes elements to become dirty and can lead to an uneven load distribution. In addition, hard objects in the sand may cause damage. The behaviour of the element in sand is difficult to predict, which can result in unexpected movements.
Selecting and configuring the right product combination for a lifting challenge can be complex. With our in‑depth knowledge and experience in the construction and lifting industry, we are happy to help you find the best possible solution.
