The hoist provides a maximum lifting height of 2350mm.
Yes, it features a folding design that allows it to collapse into a compact size, making it ideal for garages with limited space.
No, but it is delivered flat-packed and requires self-assembly using basic workshop tools.
The total weight of the crane itself is 130kg.
It is intended for use on hard, level surfaces. Using the hoist on uneven ground may compromise stability and safety.
The crane is rated for a maximum capacity of 3000kg (3 tons).
Check the hydraulic release valve at the base of the ram to ensure it is fully closed by turning it clockwise.
The system likely has trapped air. Open the release valve and pump the handle several times to bleed the air out of the hydraulic circuit.
Inspect the six swivel casters for debris or grit trapped in the bearings; clean with compressed air and apply lubricant.
Upon delivery, the crane arrives flat-packed. You will need a socket set and wrenches to complete the assembly. It is highly recommended to assemble the unit on a flat, level surface and have a second person assist with the heavy frame components. For long-term care, regularly check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight, as vibration during movement can loosen them over time. Inspect the hydraulic ram for any signs of leaking oil, and keep the chain and hook lubricated to prevent corrosion. When folding the unit for storage, ensure the area is clear and follow the safety pins to lock the frame securely in place.
