Home / About Techniplan
Techniplan also manufactures a range of overhead cranes and lifting equipment, spreaders and forklift attachments, and other container handling machinery.

This is an attachment to a fork lift for stacking pleasure craft at a commercial marina on the Gold Coast in Queensland. Techniplan designs and builds custom attachments including container spreaders, forklift devices, rotators, mechanical arms and similar.


The Device comprises four purposely designed attachments for use in conjunction with an ingot carrying road train which hauls aluminium ingots from Boyne Smelter to the nearby wharf.  The attachments hydraulically operate two fences installed on each of the two custom built quad axle trailers in the road train operated by QRX for this purpose.
The Ingot Constraint System consists of four hydraulically raised and lowered steel fences, which are used to surround the ingots whilst the road train is in transit. The fences are lowered to the sides of the trailers during loading and unloading operations in order to provide access for forklifts and reach stackers which handle the ingots. The fences are lagged with rubber on the ingot side, in order to prevent damage to the aluminium payload.

Cranes & Winches
The grillage lifting cranes are a pair of purpose built fixed jib cranes which are bolted to the existing bridge deck. The cranes cantilever approximately 6.4 metres out from the end of the partially erected bridge deck. This is a sufficient distance to enable the new deck grillage to be hoisted vertically from a barge in the river and then bolted to the end of the previously erected deck section.
