Low-Ceiling Garage Lifting, 400kg Hand-Cart Crane

FullSharp offers a 400 kg mini crane with a hand cart for workshops and garages that lift engines, gearboxes and assemblies but have no room for a fixed gantry. The adjustable-reach arm puts the part exactly in place, and one person wheels the unit in, lowers the legs and starts lifting.

Mechanical workshops and garages often need to lift engines, gearboxes, or assemblies weighing a few hundred kilograms, but there isn't enough room for a fixed gantry crane. Calling in extra hands to carry the load is slow and unsafe for both workers and parts.

FullSharp offers a 400 kg mini crane paired with a hand cart. The crane's reach and rotation bring the part into the exact position, while the hand cart lets one person move the whole unit to the work area and get started right away.
