Pivoting counterbalance shop crane

Pivoting counterbalance shop crane

A rotating cantilever workshop crane or counterbalanced crane with rotative mast is used in the industrial sector. It is an indispensable mobile lifting solution for applications requiring very precise positioning of the load being lifted. This type of compact crane is also suitable for any environment where an industrial stacker or forklift cannot be used.

These cranes, also known as counterbalanced crane, lift offset loads and move them in different directions with great precision. Load capacities range from 200 kg to 2 tons.

Cantilever workshop cranes are equipped with a rotating mast, attached to a counterweighted chassis, and an extendable jib with a 360-degree swivel hook. A jib extension can be mounted on the arm to increase the cantilever distance.

These hand-pulled cranes are moved by a tiller arm. The wheels on counterweight workshop cranes are highly resistant and suitable for industrial floors. These lifting solutions are used indoors only.

Advantages of a rotating cantilever workshop crane

Adaptability and versatility

The rotating telescopic cantilever arm easily adapts to the safety requirements of industrial lifting. Whether for heavy loads or precision operations, these cranes meet a variety of needs. For example: changing industrial molds, moving large metal parts, or positioning machining tools to the millimeter.

Precision

The rotating mast enables precise movement and positioning of loads, even in confined spaces. Compact, these cranes are easy to move where stackers or forklifts can't maneuver.

Ergonomics and safety

The high load capacity and design of rotary workshop cranes make them perfectly ergonomic. Operators risk no musculoskeletal disorders when using cantilever cranes.

Efficiency

Thanks to their rotating mast, these counterweight workshop cranes minimize the need to move an entire heavy industrial machine. This saves time and increases operational efficiency.

Easy to handle

The design of counterweight cranes makes them easy to handle. No CACES or authorization is required to operate a workshop crane. However, in-house training is recommended before first use. It is essential to understand the residual capacities of a crane before lifting loads.

Robust equipment

The robust design of cantilever cranes keeps maintenance costs to a minimum. This workshop equipment represents a safe and reliable investment.

Technical features of a rotary counterweight crane

When choosing a model of rotary cantilever workshop crane, a number of technical features need to be taken into account:

Capacity and overhang

The terms "cantilever" or "counterbalanced" refer to a crane's ability to move a load beyond its own support or main axis. In other words: the crane's ability to extend its jib or boom beyond its own frame or base. Thanks to the integrated counterweight, there's no risk of the crane tipping over, even when lifting off-set loads.

The first step in choosing a model is to list the weights to be lifted. You also need to calculate the distance separating the loads from the rotating mast. The greater the distance, the lower the capacity of the crane.

Rotary jib reach

The jib reach of a hydraulic pump crane determines the maximum distance the load can be moved horizontally. A rotating jib crane has the advantage of moving the load sideways, without having to move the load itself.

 An optional jib extension can be added to increase distance. However, the impact on the crane's residual capacities needs to be verified.

Comparison and recommendations

To help you choose the model best suited to your needs, please consult the technical documentation available for download from our website. The capacities of our models support loads of 200 kg, 500 kg, 550 kg, 750 kg and 1 tonne.
