Folding steel shop crane with a hydraulic jack, chain and hook for lifting up to 2000 kg. Suited to engine removal, machinery maintenance and assembly tasks in garages and small workshops.
Safe, controlled lifting - thanks to the single-bump hydraulic jack
A single-bump hydraulic jack supplies an ample stroke to raise heavy loads while the chain and hook secure the load during lifts. The non-slip handle helps regulate pumping action for steady ascent.
Smooth, controlled lifts reduce the chance of sudden movement, making engine removal and installation safer for one or two operators.
Compact transport and storage - with a foldable frame and flat-pack delivery
Frame components fold down for a reduced footprint and the crane ships in three packages for easier handling on arrival. Foldable legs simplify loading into a van for site work.
Quick to stow in a busy garage or move between jobs, ideal for mobile mechanics and workshops short on space.
Stable working position - with universal wheels and four adjustable legs
Universal wheels permit manoeuvring into position while four adjustable legs widen the base and allow fine levelling for stability at different lift heights.
Reliable positioning keeps a lifted engine steady during repairs and assembly, reducing the need for extra supports.
