• Extensive accessory options: radio remote controls, telescopic extensions, dedicated control systems and special mounting devices provide high operational flexibility.
Special Crane and Lifting Product Categories
Electro-Hydraulic Special Cranes
This category includes products designed for industrial and special lifting operations. Electro-hydraulic cranes deliver strong, stable and precisely controlled lifting for heavy components, sensitive equipment and non-standard loads.
GB 300 TR Standard / Special
• Compact special lifting crane design
• Modular structure suitable for various load applications
• High maneuverability, particularly effective in confined working areas
These cranes are commonly used in workshops, assembly lines and precision lifting operations where space and accuracy are critical.
ATEX and Explosion-Proof Special Cranes
For environments with explosive gas or dust risks, Gruniverpal offers ATEX-compliant special crane solutions manufactured in accordance with strict safety requirements. These cranes feature anti-static designs, sealed components, dedicated control systems and enhanced safety architectures.
Typical application areas include chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, pharmaceutical production lines and mining operations where explosion protection is mandatory.
Telescopic and Long-Reach Lifting Solutions
Within the special lifting portfolio, telescopic boom cranes and remotely controlled lifting systems provide clear advantages when loads must be handled at increased heights or extended horizontal reach. These solutions allow operators to work from a safe distance while maintaining full control and positioning flexibility.
They are particularly well suited for aerospace maintenance, large mold positioning, and heavy equipment handling tasks that demand both reach and precision.
Special Forklifts and Manipulator Systems
The series also includes customized forklift-type machines, industrial manipulators, electric transport platforms and heavy-duty internal handling systems. These products support mobile lifting and positioning tasks using dedicated interfaces and precision-controlled lifting mechanisms.
Examples of special products include:
• CER 200: multifunctional manipulator with a lifting capacity of 300 kg
• RAD 100.18-AX9: remotely controlled crane solution for micrometric positioning up to 700 kg
• GRUNIROT 20: heavy transport vehicle with electric chassis for industrial and military use
• Elidrel series: self-propelled aerial lifting cranes with capacities up to 300 kg
Technical Parameters and Key Characteristics (General Overview)
Lifting system type: electro-hydraulic special lifting systems
Capacity range: customizable from 100 kg up to multi-ton configurations
Control systems: proportional control, remote control, radio control
Operating environments: industrial plants, workshops, hazardous and ATEX zones

These parameters highlight the technical infrastructure that differentiates special lifting equipment from standard mobile cranes.
Operating Principle and System Advantages
Gruniverpal special lifting machines rely on electro-hydraulic control systems to achieve high-precision lifting and handling. The fundamental operating principles include:
• Electro-hydraulic power transmission using robust pumps, motors and valve assemblies for controlled force delivery
• Proportional control enabling millimetric accuracy during lifting, lowering and positioning operations
• Modular and customizable architecture allowing each crane to be designed, modified or expanded according to application needs
• Safety-driven design with automatic protection circuits activated in cases of overload or instability
This engineering approach elevates special lifting products beyond standard functions and ensures exceptional reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Typical Application Areas
Gruniverpal special cranes and lifting products are widely used in:
• Industrial production lines for precise lifting and positioning of components
• Heavy assembly operations involving large machinery and equipment installation
• Hazardous and ATEX-classified environments requiring explosion-proof lifting solutions
• Military and aerospace applications involving heavy transport and specialized installations
• Custom-engineered projects addressing unique and complex lifting challenges
The Gruniverpal Special Cranes and Lifting Products Series represents a comprehensive engineering solution designed not only for conventional lifting tasks, but also for highly customized, precision-driven and safety-critical lifting applications.
