Workshop crane (electric crane – industrial crane)
A workshop crane is an indispensable tool for any workshop that regularly performs vehicle repairs. With a workshop crane, heavy engines and transmissions can be removed and installed quickly and easily without causing injury or damage. Using a workshop crane also increases workshop efficiency, as it speeds up the work process and allows the mechanic to handle heavy parts on their own. If you work in a workshop or perform repairs on your own vehicle, you should consider a high-quality workshop crane to make the job easier, safer, and faster.
Mobile workshop cranes are industrial trucks (industrial cranes) for workshops in the manufacturing industry, as well as repair shops– and service providers that handle loads of can be lifted by the hook at the top. The mobile workshop crane is a Industrial crane and a specialized lifting device. In terms of options and capabilities, it differs significantly from a forklift. In its standard configuration, it has several boom positions, each with a reduced lifting capacity. It’s like sitting on a branch of a tree, further and further away from the trunk. When the boom is raised, the workshop crane traces a curve. Unlike a forklift, each position reaches a different lifting height and is at a different distance from the cylinder.

What is a counterweight crane and how does it work?
A counterweight crane is a crane used to carry out lifting projects. It is characterized by its special counterweight system, which ensures the crane’s stability and load-bearing capacity. The counterweight is located on the opposite side of the boom and helps maintain the crane’s balance. By adjusting the counterweight, the crane can lift heavy loads and move them safely to the desired location. This sophisticated system enables the precise and efficient execution of lifting projects across various industries.
How do you operate a counterweight crane?
Operating a counterweight crane requires expertise and experience. First, the crane operator must adjust the counterweight according to the load to be lifted. This is typically done using special crane controls. Once the counterweight is properly positioned, the crane operator can extend the crane boom or jib to reach the load. By precisely controlling the boom and the counterweight, the load can be safely lifted, moved, and lowered. It is important that the operation of the counterweight crane be performed by trained personnel to ensure the safety and efficiency of the lifting process.
