With two joints that each rotate 360°, these cranes make it easy to position a load exactly where you need it. Unlike standard desktop cranes that swing loads in a circle at a fixed distance, these cranes let you place it almost anywhere within their arm’s reach. Mount them to workbenches and utility carts to save room in tight workspaces. They’re often used to raise heavy tools and parts for repair or assembly. Since they’re compact, they’re easy to move from one base to another. Additional bases are sold separately. Turn the hand wheel clockwise to raise a load and counterclockwise to lower it. An internal brake controls the descent, keeping it slow and steady, and holds the load in place if you let go of the hand wheel.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

At half the weight of standard hand-winch cranes with similar capacity, these cranes are easier to move from one base to another. Also known as davit cranes, they have a handle you crank to raise and lower the load. An automatic brake holds your load securely in place when you release the handle. For positioning in all directions, these cranes rotate a full 360°, and the arm adjusts to four different lengths. To quicken your set up, use a power drill to wind the winch or lengthen the arm for you. They're aluminum, so they also resist corrosion.

Note: Capacity is highest for the first layer of rope and decreases as each additional layer of rope is wound on the winch. There are at least five wraps of rope on the winch.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
