Cradle Type Lifting Attachment
A cradle type lifting attachment supports products from underneath, providing a simple and reliable lifting solution where access beneath the load is available.
Every cradle is designed around your product geometry, support points and handling process. Whether lifting a single component or a family of similar products, the cradle can be engineered to provide stable, repeatable handling while reducing the risks associated with manual slinging.
Optional retention features can be incorporated where required, making cradle attachments ideal for lower-frequency lifting tasks where robustness, simplicity and safety are the priorities.

Need something different?
Every product is different. Your cradle attachment can be adapted to suit product geometry, support locations, centre of gravity requirements and available lifting clearances.
Support surfaces can be designed to suit robust fabricated products or fitted with aluminium, nylon or polyurethane contact materials for more delicate items. Optional retention systems can also be incorporated where additional product security is required.
We can also offer manual grippers, twin jaw grippers and powered grippers too.
The options shown cover the majority of lifting applications. If your product falls outside these specifications, don’t worry — bespoke solutions are our speciality. Our engineers will review your application and recommend the most suitable solution for safe, efficient handling.
