What Are You Trying to Move?

Heavy transport jobs rarely begin with a part number. They begin with a load, a destination, limited clearance and a plan that has to work. Northland can help identify hydraulic lifting and load-movement equipment suited to the application.

LIFT

Raise the Load

High-tonnage cylinders, lock-nut cylinders and multi-point lifting options for applications where controlled vertical movement matters.

VIEW LIFTING OPTIONS →
CONTROL

Keep Multiple Points Together

Controlled lifting pumps and synchronized systems for applications requiring coordinated movement across multiple lifting points.

MULTI-POINT LIFTING →
MOVE

Skid the Load

Hydraulic skidding systems move heavy loads along a prepared track where crane access or traditional movement methods may not be practical.

SKIDDING SYSTEMS →
POSITION

Lift & Position in Tight Spaces

Hydraulic gantries provide controlled lifting and positioning where overhead crane access or permanent lifting structures are limited.

HYDRAULIC GANTRIES →
LONG LIFT

Lift Over Greater Distances

Strand jack systems provide a heavy-lifting option for controlled vertical movement over distances beyond a conventional cylinder stroke.

STRAND JACKS →
ROTATE

Turn or Reposition the Load

Turntable and trolley solutions can support controlled movement and positioning before, during or after a lifting operation.

WHEN A CRANE ISN'T THE WHOLE ANSWER

Controlled Lifting & Positioning

Some jobs require more than simply getting the load off the ground. Limited overhead space, uneven load distribution, multiple lifting points and precise final positioning can all change the equipment required.

Northland’s heavy-lifting range includes hydraulic gantries, synchronous lifting equipment, skidding systems, strand jacks and other specialized high-pressure hydraulic solutions.

What Information Should You Have Ready?

You do not need to arrive with a finished hydraulic design. These details simply give us a better starting point.

01

Load Weight

Total load weight and, if known, how the weight is distributed.

02

Number of Lift Points

How many points will support or move the load during the operation?

03

Required Movement

Vertical lift, horizontal travel, rotation, final positioning — or a combination.

04

Required Travel

How far does the load need to move and how much lifting height is required?

05

Available Clearance

Collapsed height, overhead restrictions and access around the load can change the solution.

06

Site Conditions

Working surface, available power, indoor/outdoor use and other practical site limitations.

PLANNING A HEAVY MOVE?

Start With the Load. We’ll Work From There.

Send us the load weight, required movement, lift points and any clearance or site restrictions you already know. If you are still working out the details, that is fine too.
