A wise investment. I cannot tell you enough how helpfull this simple machine has been. I was able to relocate the entire workshop, mutch to my wife's relief, by myself.

Previously it was always "Darling, can you help me move the lathe".

I cannot imagine anyone building one of these for less than the cost they sell for. Total weight is 125 kilograms.

The crane has an 8 Ton Hydraulic Long Ram and steel wheels. The length of the jib is adjustable subject to the weight you wish to lift. These cranes are actually capable of lifting double the stated values however the importer has chosen to play it safe and downgrade the ratings.

The crane moves around the shop floor with the greatest of ease however as the load increases, the more difficult it is to steer.

Folding away after use is quite straight forward thanks to the removable pins in the base.
