Mold Lifting in Tight Spots with a 400 kg Mini Crane

FullSharp supplied a 400 kg mini crane with a compact frame that rolls between rows of machines for maintenance, mold moving and machine positioning in corners a fixed crane cannot reach. The boom reach and height adjust to the available clearance, and one operator lifts, moves and sets the load down.

Machine maintenance or re-positioning a mold often happens in corners a fixed crane can't reach. Hand jacks and levers can do the job, but slowly, and they slip easily when the load weighs several hundred kilograms.

FullSharp supplies a 400 kg mini crane with a compact frame that rolls in between rows of machines. The boom's reach and height adjust to fit the available clearance, and the lifting unit runs smoothly. One operator is enough to lift, move, and set the load down.
