Manufacturer of Wheelhouse Lifting Shafts
Wheelhouse Lifting Shafts from BÜTER Hebetechnik GmbH: Intelligently engineered for high cost-efficiency
Wheelhouse lifting shafts are used to raise or lower the ship’s wheelhouse for bridge passages. A lifting shaft consists of telescoping tubes that are moved by means of a hydraulic cylinder. Depending on the available space between the ship’s hull and deck, larger or smaller lifting heights can be achieved.

BÜTER Hebetechnik GmbH has designed and patented a round lifting shaft. This unique round design offers several advantages over the usual angular shape: greater rigidity with low dead weight, shorter production lead times, fewer components, and an optimal shape for effective corrosion protection.
The wheelhouse lifting shafts are used in inland and coastal shipping. Since the lifting shaft extends into the ship’s hull, it is preferably installed on vessels designed for container transport.
Features of the Wheelhouse Lifting Shafts
Our products feature a round shape, offering high rigidity with low dead weight. The design consists of few components, leading to cost-effective solutions and increased efficiency.
Thanks to low-maintenance components, we minimize maintenance efforts, while the robust and durable construction ensures long-term reliability. Our hydraulic cylinders are manufactured in-house to ensure the highest quality.
Furthermore, we offer electronic control systems that are individually programmed according to our customers’ specific requirements to guarantee optimal performance and user-friendliness.
- Durable Quality: Our constructions are made from high-quality components to offer a long service life.
- Low Maintenance Costs thanks to low-maintenance components.
