Portable cranes are mobile and flexible lifting solutions designed for light to medium-duty operations. They are particularly useful in work environments where installing fixed crane systems is not feasible. Portable cranes offer ease of movement, simple installation, and the ability to be relocated quickly, making them ideal for temporary workstations, maintenance tasks, or multiple location handling needs.
These cranes are commonly used indoors and outdoors, and can accommodate both chain and wire rope hoists. Thanks to their compact footprint and modular design, they support efficient lifting operations in dynamic and space-constrained settings.
Portable Gantry Crane: Mobile A-frame structure with wheels, suitable for lifting and moving items within short distances.
Mini Jib Crane: Compact jib crane with base support, often used for workbenches or confined work areas.
Folding Portable Crane: Designed for compact storage, often used for mobile maintenance or installation jobs.
Adjustable Height Gantry: Allows height customization to match different workspace needs or to move through doors or under obstacles.
