Rotating Devices

GD’s motorized rotating devices, developed in-house, provide the perfect solution for any industrial application where the safe and precise rotation of large or elongated loads is essential. These systems not only enhance efficiency but also ensure operator safety—especially during complex or potentially hazardous turning operations.

The design of the motorized rotating beams is straightforward yet highly effective:

• With a load capacity of up to 12.5 tons, they are ideal for safely rotating even the heaviest industrial components.
• The device is easily suspended from a crane hook and does not require fixed installation, allowing for flexible deployment and quick adaptability to different tasks.

The system consists of a short lifting beam with driven pulleys at both ends. Polyester lifting slings are looped around the pulleys and positioned under the load to be rotated. By rotating the pulleys, the slings move and rotate the load—effortlessly, even when handling heavy or delicate workpieces.

The device is controlled via radio remote control, allowing the operator to perform precise and efficient operations from a safe distance. This is particularly advantageous in cases involving:

• Long workpieces (such as welded crane girders),
• Situations where close proximity could endanger the operator,
• Tasks requiring precise positioning of the load.

GD’s rotating devices are also available in adjustable configurations, upon request. In these variants, the beam’s length and the distance between the rotating slings can be adjusted via motorized remote control, providing even greater flexibility and accuracy in load handling.

Combining motorized and freely rotating beams enables the safe manipulation of complex or hard-to-access loads with minimal human intervention.

GD rotating devices are an ideal choice for:

• Metal fabrication workshops and welding halls,
• Machinery manufacturers,
• Heavy-duty industrial applications where load rotation is a routine requirement.

Choose GD’s motorized rotating devices if you need a reliable, safe, and user-friendly rotation solution for industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are GD rotating devices used for?
They are designed for the safe and precise rotation of large, elongated, or heavy industrial loads—ideal for welding halls, assembly lines, and machinery manufacturing.

What is the maximum load capacity?
Our standard rotating devices support loads up to 12.5 tons. Custom versions with other capacities may be available upon request.

How are the devices operated?
They are controlled via a radio remote control, allowing the operator to rotate the load safely and precisely from a distance.

Do the rotating devices require permanent installation?
No. They are suspended from a crane hook and do not require any fixed installation, making them highly mobile and flexible.

How does the rotation mechanism work?
Motor-driven pulleys move polyester slings positioned under the load. By rotating the pulleys, the slings rotate the object in a controlled manner.

Can the beam be adjusted for different load sizes?
Yes. Adjustable versions are available where both the beam length and sling spacing can be motorized and controlled remotely.
