Counterbalanced Cranes
Counterbalanced cranes are portable load lifting and handling solutions that can easily be positioned in any dedicated area to facilitate the movement of products, components and equipment of various types. Unlike stationary lifting devices, such as overhead cranes or floor mounted jib cranes, these floor mobile cranes can be used in different production areas, including those with limited or crowded space.

Manually tracted counterbalanced cranes
Manual counterbalanced cranes are cost-effective machines that offer maximum flexibility and ergonomics with each lifting and handling operation. These portable mini cranes bring numerous benefits with their mobility and compact design that enables the operators to reach maximum maneuverablility – even at full load – without efforts. The fields of use vary from machining centers and assembly lines to storage areas and any application where there is no available space to move the load with a forklift or other large sized lifting equipment.
The range is including a wide variety of cranes with manual traction that reach up to 1.000 kg capacity while being optimally equipped and secured from overturning in every position. Different configurations, from lighter swivel cranes (with either manual or electric lifting and lowering) to heavy-duty cranes with rigid arm, allow our customers to find the right equipment for their application.
The arm is extendable in 4 positions and, in case of the electric versions, it is available with single or progressive speed. For some of the models the arm can be provided, additionally, with electric extending and retracting functions. The latter are particularly recommanded for difficult placements from the ground onto 3D machines or lathes, as well as over narrow openings or perimeter protections.
The swivel crane versions are able to perform a 360° rotation while the rotating arm offers the possibility to be locked in 8 different positions. Though lighter than the heavy duty versions, they can prove a load capacity of up to 500 kg. They are fitted with a locking valve that prevents the load from falling in case of accidental breakage of the pipes. The stainless steel models offer the possibility to use this technology even in food and pharmaceutical processing, as well as in hospitals, kitchens and canteens.
Due to their frontal footprint, of just 800 mm, heavy-duty floor cranes can be inserted even in less accesible places. Different constructed levers enable the operators to lift the load in a fast and easy way, while the descent knob options allow aprogressive descend for those applications that require an accurate load positioning. Their rigid strong arm, manually or electrically driven, can be extended in 4 pozitions to reach out up to a 2000 mm distance. Some of the models are equipped with an electrically controlled jib arm which allows the operator to control and adjust all movements of the arm and extension with extreme precision.

The swivel jib crane models are particularly suitable for the assembly processes inside production lines and for picking of missing components. The hook height, of up to 5500 mm, allows the handlig of even broad or long parts and components.
Metallurgical industry enquires particular attention when moving the large and heavy materials and items. Counterbalanced cranes, equipped with specific hooks for coils and with suitable bands for lifting steel products, allow an easy, safe and fast handling of the products that weight up to 2000 kg. Most applications make use of customized below-the-hook accessories, such as clamps or magnets, which can recommand these cranes as a more efficient choice to stationary jib arms or overhead cranes.
The higyenical demands from the pharmaceutical industry impose high levels of reliability and cleanliness to every equipment that comes inside the facility. The stainless steel models of counter balance cranes meet all these demands when handling and lifting containers, packaging equipment and components as well as bulk loads. Additionally, some of the stainless steel models offer anti-corrosion protection against chemical agents and allow compliance with the most rigorous hygiene standards.
This equipment is equally suitable for chemical industry, where they are employed to handle extruders, mixers, agitators and dispersers or other machinery which requires frequent cleaning and maintenance. Thanks to their lifting height capacity, the mobile cranes can easily reach the point of operation and lift a wide variety of mixer covers, stirrer blades or cylinders even in the presence of perimeter protections. Once the components have been lifted, the operators can bring them to the maintenance department in total safety.
Logistics and distribution companies need fast and reliable equipment to pick and move those goods that are not handled on pallets to different areas for unpacking or dispatch. The pick and carry counter balance floor cranes are recommended for logistics companies that have an intensive and continuous flow of products in variable dimensions and weights. The rotation of the jib arm allows the operators to fastly and easily take the products from the containers and place them on the pallets for storage or preparation for deliveries.
Construction industry often faces challenges in safely and correctly lifting and positioning of panels, windows and coverings of various materials. Most of the times these operations cannot be done manually becouse of the products dimensions and weight or the height of the mounting areas. Mobile mini cranes are an indispensable equipment for reducing the risks of accidents and occupational diseases, as well as of material damaging at the construction site. Some of these cranes are provided with a foldable mast for a facile transportation inside vans and with removable weights that enables them to be placed on freight elevators with load limit.
