FullSharp installed a mobile-base jib crane with a battery-powered electric hoist for workshops that lift a few times a day at changing spots, beside a machine today and out in the yard tomorrow. With no outlet needed, the unit is pushed into place, the wheels are locked and work starts, with no power cable across the walkway.
Many workshops only need to lift loads a few times a day, but at different locations, next to a machine today, out in the yard tomorrow. A fixed crane would be wasteful, while running a power cable across the walkway is both a hazard and a nuisance.
FullSharp installed a jib crane on a mobile base fitted with a battery-powered electric hoist. With no power source needed on site, the unit is pushed to wherever it's needed, the wheels are locked, and pressing the lift button gets to work right away.

The rechargeable battery removes the need for a cable running across the workshop walkway.
One unit rotates between locations instead of installing several fixed cranes.
No foundation to pour, no ceiling to drill; it's ready to use the same day.
In this setup an overnight charge on the removable battery is enough for a full shift. FullSharp reviews the number of lifts per day before recommending the battery setup.
A power cable across a walkway is a trip hazard and a nuisance. A battery hoist runs without an outlet at the work spot, which suits mobile use.
A heavy steel base with wheels and locking pins keeps the unit balanced when the arm carries a load. The arm swings through a wide arc to pick and set down at two spots.
FullSharp asks about the heaviest load, the required reach radius, and the floor where you plan to push the unit, to size the base with sufficient counterweight. We assemble the unit, load-test it, and show you how to charge and maintain the battery properly.
