Geared to lifting

With Maxxdrive XD, Nord DriveSystems has developed an industrial gear unit with increased centre distance that is suited to the U-shaped configuration of drive, motor and cable drum.

During development, the Maxxdrive XD’s housing was specially designed for lifting applications and optimised for downward loads. The elongated arrangement of gear stages also enables a mechanical tailor-made dimensioning of the gear unit with sufficient centre distance – thereby avoiding an otherwise all too common over-dimensioning.

It is suitable for use in lifting equipment in all kinds of cranes from port and container cranes to overhead and gantry cranes but also for container and high bay coil storage.
