Counterbalanced Cranes

They can reach the load in tight spaces near obstacles or over perimeter protections. This happens thanks to the extendable lifting arm. It allows the machines to be particularly suitable for certain needs of items and materials. They can reach less accessible areas or up high. Their mobility and compact design offer maximum flexibility. This applies especially to manufacturing plants. There, the assembly layout and test areas are frequent change. At the same time, they involve no construction work inside the facility. In addition, they do not require mounting procedures or dedicated space for installation.

Wheeled floor cranes eliminate the employees’ physical effort and manual operations. They increase work safety and prevent injuries. Risks of developing job-related diseases caused by musculoskeletal trauma no longer exist. The equipment requires no license and no extensive training for the operators. This way, they optimize the time needed to perform each task and increase production.

Despite their small dimensions and low weight, portable mini cranes offer good performances and a long life span. They bring low maintenance costs and reduced downtime compared to other lifting equipment. At the same time, they keep a low noise level at work due to the integration of sound masking components.

The range includes counterbalanced cranes with manual and electric traction. It can offer ergonomic handling of loads up to 2000 kg. They can have several types of under hooks. For particular applications, the cranes can be partially or fully customized. This allows the machines to suit the respective needs and requirements.

Applications

Mobile floor cranes improve productivity and eliminate efforts and injuries caused by manual lifting of the loads. They ensure precise load lifting and positioning in front of loading ramps, conveyors, assembly lines or machines. They can be employed in every industrial sector. This happens due to their reliable construction.

The automotive industry implies frequent daily operations of lifting car parts and components or materials and replenishing certain items that are not automatically delivered during standard feeding operations. Counterbalanced cranes can handle various products from the automotive sector with ease. A few examples are motors, tires, molds or large tools. The swivel jib crane models suit the assembly processes inside production lines. They can pick up missing components as well. The hook height of up to 5500 mm allows handling even broad or long parts and components.

The metallurgical industry involves particular attention when moving large and heavy materials and items. Counterbalanced cranes allow easy, safe and fast handling of products that weigh up to 2000 kg. This happens due to their specific hooks for coils and suitable bands for lifting steel products. Most applications use customized below-the-hook accessories, such as clamps or magnets. They recommend these cranes as more efficient than stationary jib arms or overhead cranes.

The hygienic demands from the pharma industry impose high levels of reliability and cleanliness. These apply to every piece of equipment inside the facility. The stainless steel crane models meet all these demands when handling and lifting containers, packaging equipment and components, and bulk loads. In addition, some stainless steel models offer anti-corrosion protection against chemical agents. They allow compliance with the most rigorous hygiene standards.

This equipment is equally suitable for the chemical industry, where they handle extruders, mixers, agitators, dispersers, or other machinery requiring frequent cleaning and maintenance. Thanks to their lifting height capacity, the mobile cranes can easily reach the point of operation and lift various 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 up and move goods not handled on pallets to different areas for unpacking or dispatch. The pick-and-carry counterbalance floor cranes are recommended for logistics companies with an intensive and continuous flow of products in variable dimensions and weights. The rotation of the jib arm allows the operators to take the products from the containers fast and efficiently and place them on the pallets for storage or preparation for deliveries.

The construction industry often faces challenges in lifting and positioning panels, windows and covers made from various materials safe and correct. Most of the time, these operations cannot complete manually. This is due to the products’ dimensions and weight or the height of the mounting areas. Mobile mini cranes are indispensable equipment for reducing the risks of accidents, work diseases, and material damage at the construction site. Some cranes have a foldable mast for facile transit inside vans. They can have removable weights that enable placement on freight elevators with a load limit. Modern construction site cranes allow lifting. The working floor level allows it due to special eye bolts on their frames. In addition, they have highly maneuverable elastic wheels. These enable operators to overcome uneven ground.
