  General Brochure     
The ISL Model from Shuttlelift is our premier line of Gantry Cranes. They are engineered for higher duty cycles due to increased hoisting drum speeds, as well as increased ground speed capabilities, which will enable you to be much more efficient. Our ISL cranes have fully traversing hooks that move the entire width of the crane for easy loading and unloading, which again, adds to efficiency.

Each ISL Model is engineered as a unique lifting solution that will solve the toughest material handling challenges you have. Every solution we propose is designed around your specific measurements and unique job related requirements. Essentially, you get a custom engineered crane every time you choose Shuttlelift to solve your lifting challenges.

ISL Standard Features:


  • Capacity
    • The capacity of the ISL Models starts at 15 tons and currently goes as high as 150 tons. Higher lifting capactities are custom engineered.
    • If you need to traverse your load (move your load from side to side). The ISL Model is our most economical solution.
  • Heavy Duty Construction
    • The Main Structure of our cranes is high strength, low alloy steel of Box Section Design. Please contact us to talk about how this aspect of our cranes differs from others in the market.
    • Diesel engines on all models provide effective horsepower and fuel utilization.
    • Our Pivot Trunnion Joint permits the frame of our structure to move independently, thus neutralizing frame stress under load on uneven surfaces. This feature prolongs the structural life of your asset and investment.
    • Powder coated steel hydraulic tubing gives superior durability and corrosive resistance for all exposed hydraulic lines.
  • Hydraulic System
    • Two main pumps and one auxiliary section, driven off the engine flywheel.
    • Quick disconnect pressure check points to reduce downtime for service.
    • ISL Models come standard with a hydraulic oil cooler. This keeps your fluid cool even under the highest duty cycles. This feature also lengthens the life of your oil and reduces downtime by decreasing the frequency of hydraulic fluid changes.
    • Built in hydraulic fluid level monitor provides for complete engine shutdown should hydraulic fluid levels become too low.
  • Hydraulic Planetary Hub Drive
    • Our planetary drive ensures smooth, reliable operation under load. Smooth operation reduces load swing and increases safety.
  • Hydraulic Braking
    • Motion control valve inhibits "freewheeling" on grades.
    • Spring applied, hydraulic release parking brake.
    • Emergency "E-Stops" located at each column just above the wheel fenders.
    • Administers complete crane shut down and effective accident avoidance.
  • Steering Control
    • Hydraulic steering makes for smooth operation.
    • Steering built around the "Ackerman Steering Principal".
    • 90-degree pivot steering for increased maneuverability.
    • Controls situated ergonomically on drivers arm rests to lessen fatigue and improve sensitivity.
    • Controls are "electric-over-hydraulic" providing ease of operation and specificity of control.
  • Hoist Design
    • Hoisting drums are located on the lower side beam to provide operator with the ultimate in safety, visibility and load control.
    • Direct planetary gear drive with integral enclosed spring applied brake, hydraulic release brake.
    • Forward blocks can be set at fixed locations, or an optional hydraulic adjustable block system is offered for varying hook points, without suspended loads.
  • Large Diameter Grooved Hoisting Drums
    • Lebus groove hoisting drums assure uniform cable spooling and are included as standard. This feature prevents cable from crushing.
    • For safety, the load is held in "rest" position by automatic brakes and backed up by load hold check valves.
  • Side Bar Mount Operators Compartment
    • Enclosed operators cab with:
      • Heater for cold mornings and weather
      • Defroster
      • Windshield wipers
      • Window tinting to block/filter sun rays
    • Provides clear view of load and ground riggers.
    • Convenient 180° swiveling capabilities of operator's chair allows the operator to position themselves at the vantage point to view each load. This feature reduces fatigue caused by "craning and twisting" to adequately view the load.
  • Lift Attachments
    • Custom lift accessories can be added to any of our cranes to further enhance the overall lifting capabilities of our cranes.
  • Superior Paint
    • Each piece of structure on our cranes is:
      • Sandblasted to increase adherence and penetration of paint and primer.
      • Epoxy primed and timed to allow for optimal paint adherence.
      • Painted with specially blended paint to withstand harsh weather environments and situations.
