    Electric Winch Cranes

    No hand-cranking needed—simply push a button on the handheld control to lift or lower a heavy load. These cranes are also known as davit cranes. The automatic brake holds your load securely in place when you’re not moving it up or down. For precise positioning in all directions, these cranes rotate a full 360°. The arm can be adjusted to four different heights depending on your needs.
    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.
    Electric-Powered with 3-Blade Plug (120V AC)
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cranes. Electric Winch Cranes , Electric.
    Electric-powered cranes work well for long-running jobs because there’s no battery to worry about. They plug into an electrical outlet.

    Wind Winch with Power Drill or Handle

    (Drill Not Included)

    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.

    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.

    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.

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