No matter which gear unit you have selected: with the
FLENDER gear units, you have always chosen an economi-
cal solution that is perfectly tailored to your needs. Aside
from a compact standard gear unit series, Siemens offers
application specific gear units having a large overall cen-
ter distance. The gear units are perfectly suited for appli-
cations having motor and cable drum mounted in parallel.
The gear unit series is optimally suited for container
cranes, gantry cranes, pouring cranes, tower slewing
cranes, offshore cranes and draw works.
When it comes to positioning driven loads, our modu-
lar FLENDER slewing gear drives are first choice. E.g. in
cranes, excavators and drilling rigs.
On the drive side, you may select between short and a
long cylindrical lantern gear versions. The mounted drive
pinion is implemented according to your needs. Whether
electric motors or fast and slow running hydraulic motors:
on the drive side, we can offer you solutions that in some
cases have already been standardized.

FLENDER trolley/travel gear units

Whether trolley gear, rail gear or tire gear: each applica-

tion places specific demands on how the gear unit need
to be designed – these demands are perfectly fulfilled by
our FLENDER gear unit series. It convinces through a maxi-
mum of safety, highest quality and long service life – even Advantages at a glance
