    Crane Shown Installed

    Save your back from loading toolboxes, generators, and other heavy items into your truck. These cranes slide right into your hitch—no need to modify your vehicle to mount them. Designed with an offset, you can lower the tailgate fully with the crane installed. Mount the crane to lift from the right or the left side of the truck depending on your task. Also known as davit cranes, they have a hand winch to raise the load, and an automatic brake holds the load securely when you release the handle.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    No need to pour a special foundation—you can install these cranes on a reinforced concrete floor. Also known as jib cranes, they rotate 360° to maximize floor space. Cranes come with mounting kits. Mount cranes to a minimum 6" deep reinforced concrete floor. Avoid any gaps, cracks, or expansion joints, and make sure your anchors are embedded at least 4 3/4" deep.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Blue Painted Steel—Blue painted steel cranes have tracks enclosed in the beams to keep debris from collecting on the track, allowing the trolley to move smoothly. The trolley has a mounting bar for your lifting device.

    Desktop Cranes

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Cranes. Desktop Cranes .
    Mount these cranes to a workbench or utility cart to lift and position loads in tight workspaces. They’re often used in repair or assembly tasks to lift heavy tools and parts. Their compact size makes them easy to move from one base to another. Additional bases are sold separately. Turn the hand wheel clockwise to lift your load. An automatic brake holds your load securely in place when you let go of the wheel. These cranes rotate a full 360°, making it easy to position a load on your workbench or on nearby equipment such as a CNC machine.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Roller-Chain Winch
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cranes. Desktop Cranes , Roller-Chain Winch.

    Lever Lowering Mechanism

    Cranes with a roller chain winch move at a more consistent speed than those with a wire rope winch. Since the roller chain moves around a sprocket, raising loads doesn’t require additional force as you go—unlike wire rope on a spool.
    Lever Lowering Mechanism—Cranes with a lever lowering mechanism require you to release the brake lever next to the hand wheel. As you do, lightly press your palm on the hand wheel to control how fast your load descends.

    Lever Lowering Mechanism

    Hand-Winch Lowering

    Mechanism

    Cranes with a wire rope winch are best for dirty environments because there are no chain links that could trap debris. These cranes also move more smoothly, because there’s less jerking as the wire rope moves around the spool than there is with a roller chain on a sprocket.
    Lever Lowering Mechanism—Cranes with a lever lowering mechanism require you to release the brake lever next to the hand wheel. As you do, lightly press your palm on the hand wheel to control how fast your load descends.
    Hand-Winch Lowering Mechanism—Cranes with a hand-winch lowering mechanism are easier to use and give you more control than cranes that lower with a lever. Simply turn the hand wheel counterclockwise to lower.

    Articulating Desktop Cranes

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Cranes. Articulating Desktop Cranes .
    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.

    Column-Mount Rotating Cranes

    Designed to save valuable floor space, these cranes mount to structural columns. They’re also known as jib cranes. Make sure the column you mount these to can handle the thrust/pull force, which is how much these cranes will push and pull on your column as they lift loads. Use ASTM A325 Structural Bolts to mount these cranes.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Cranes. Column-Mount Rotating Cranes , Cranes with Mast, Open Crane Beam.

    Enclosed Crane Beam

    Open Crane Beam

    Also Available: Other spans of cranes with an open-track beam up to 20 ft. and capacities up to 10,000 lbs. Select 3729T999 and specify span and capacity.
    Cranes with a mast let you lift loads from higher than cranes with a tie rod because the beam can be mounted closer to your ceiling. These cranes generally push and pull less on your column than cranes with a tie rod.
    Enclosed Crane Beam—Cranes with an enclosed track prevent debris from collecting on the track, so trolleys run smoothly. The included trolley has a mounting eye for your lifting device.
    Open Crane Beam—Those with an open track accommodate most trolleys. Stops on the beam limit trolley travel.

    Workstation Cranes

    Position your load anywhere inside the four posts of these cranes. Originally designed to service vehicles, these cranes offer the flexibility of overhead bridge cranes without requiring ceiling installation. They include two fixed beams, a moving beam that travels along them, a trolley, and four posts. The tracks are enclosed to keep debris from collecting.
    These cranes are freestanding, and they don't require a foundation. Use steel stud anchors for concrete to mount them to a minimum 6" deep reinforced concrete floor.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Transport these cranes anywhere they’re needed in your facility. Made with fork pockets in the base, they can be lifted and moved with a fork truck—saving you from taking your load to a mounted crane or having multiple cranes around your building. The first time you use these cranes, fill the base with concrete to keep them stable. Also known as jib cranes, they have an I-beam that rotates 360°, which makes it easy to position loads. The beam can accommodate most trolleys.
