Counterweight cranes are clear at the front, so that they can get really close to their work, they offer maximum flexibility for changing tools and for maintenance work (also above machinery or under the ceiling). The counterweight concept means that we can offer a compact and very manoeuvrable crane, with manual or electric lifting and manual or electric movement.

SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR COUNTERWEIGHT CRANES

Compact counterweight workshop crane with electric lifting for loads of 500 kg.

Are you short of space, needing very frequent use and having to approach the load with care?

This extremely compact chassis, with electric lifting and FaPo® driving device for precise positioning, will help you with the work!

Battery operated electric lifting with remote control by cable allows the operator to lift or lower the load from any point around the crane. The FaPo® power-assisted system for manoeuvring and precise positioning, our own development, helps to make the job simpler.

Characteristics

Lifting and lowering
DIN safety swivelling load hook, high quality galvanised, battery operated by simply pressing a button on the control. Using the remote button bar, with approximately 3 metres of cable, the operator has a flexible means of controlling the lifting and lowering independently of the crane. This means that the operator can be close to the load to watch it and assist in exact positioning. This gives greater safety and allows the work to be completed sooner. (+ info)

Movement
Manual, assisted by the Hydrobull mechanical drive positioning, FaPo®. (+ info)

Load jib
There are 13 extension settings, 150 mm apart, easily selected by 2 separate galvanised stabilisers which use a locking-bolt system. The jibs are also backed up with a pressure lock to avoid accidents.

Parking
The machine can be easily and conveniently locked in position by turning a lever on the FaPo drive device. Manual units are not usually fitted with a hand brake.

Does your work load require very high frequency of use?

Think about productivity and your employees’ health and take advantage of electric lifting and movement!

These electric counterweight cranes, with the chassis and the counterweight box shifted to the back, allow you to approach loads and machines from the front, thus maximising reach. Electric lifting, with remote control by cable, enables the operator to lift or lower the load from any point around the crane. It also has electric movement. One person alone can easily move the unit, even over long distances and with the load.

Parking
The machine automatically stops when the drive device is released or when it is placed in the vertical or horizontal position. When the work is finished, the machine can be safely parked, removing the key.

Counterweight

The counterweight box is delivered empty with the crane and is detachable. There are openings on both sides for fixing the necessary lifting systems to assemble and disassemble it. After filling, these openings can be closed with the plastic covers supplied, to ensure no loss of ballast. The box includes a closing lid, with a device which allows it to be secured with a padlock, to the customer’s charge.

The crane can only be used after the counterweight box is filled! You can fill it yourself.

The counterweight box can be supplied filled, to order, as an optional extra. It is delivered as a separate package on a pallet and it is up to the customer to fit it on the crane, using a suitable lifting machine.
