AXIS gives you maximum control & stability to save resources and reduce risks through every critical lift.
AXIS gives you maximum control & stability to save resources and reduce risks through every critical lift.
AXIS is a specialized, heavy-duty lifting and handling solution for leveling lifted loads with absolute precision during a wide range of tilt-sensitive critical lift operations.
Designed and manufactured by NEWTON in the USA, AXIS delivers unmatched orientation consistency and performance to accurately tilt, pan, and level a lifted payload while under load for the certainty your operation needs to move forward.
AXIS is the most capable structured sling lift ever made. With a robust, clean-room ready dual-axis design, precision tracking system, and remote control station; AXIS provides an unrivaled range of control and capabilities for critical lifts.

Expand your control of lifted payloads during critical lifts.
AXIS attaches to a crane’s hook block through a low friction shackle and interfaces with the payload through four lift lugs below. To make real-time orientation adjustments of lifted objects possible, AXIS employs:
Remote control system HMI with an intuitive, interactive GUI
Motor-driven trolleys in a dual-axis configuration for bilateral translation of the shackle point
Heavy-duty hardware and pre-loaded rollers for virtually no risk of binding
Linear encoders & redundant, dual-axis high-precision inclinometers for absolute motion sensing & control
Stepper motors, worm gear, and electromagnetic breaks as redundant fail-safes against back-driving
Redundant strain gauges for load weight measurements & safety controls
With a safer, more efficient platform to meet schedule on every critical lift, AXIS significantly reduces personnel and hardware safety risks, additional and/or new ground support equipment needs, and critical operation costs & time.
As a product of our extensive experience solving for critical lifts, AXIS inherits proven engineering concepts developed for the world’s most advanced aerospace programs and missions; and evolves them to deliver unparalleled precision, control, and reliability for your operations.

AXIS is a specialized, heavy-duty critical lifting device for precision-levelling and tilt-sensitive operations.
Its balanced system actively compensates and aligns a load’s center of gravity with its lift point, eliminating the need for turnbuckles, straps, and additional hardware while ensuring proper positioning for more efficient operations.
With technology developed for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) program, AXIS has been tailored for a wide range of operational environments, from specialized aerospace applications to outdoor construction, cleanrooms, and more.
It delivers maximum orientation consistency, with a controllable angular tilt to a min. 0.01 deg. precision or better through it’s custom GUI & remote-control system. And while AXIS Standard provides a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 17,700 lbs. (8,028.5 kg), fully-custom versions are always available upon request.
The AXIS Balanced Precision Lift fits a wide range of tilt-sensitive lifting and orientation procedures in sectors such as:
AXIS is fully customizable to fit your operation’s needs while providing a robust, heavy-duty solution that will optimize your performance.
