Counterbalance Floor Crane

A counterbalance floor crane is a hydraulically powered floor crane that lifts and moves heavy loads at low level using a weighted base instead of straddle legs. GAP Hire Solutions' floor crane hire range includes counterbalance floor crane hire models rated to lift up to two tonnes. The counterbalance design means there are no legs to straddle the load, so the crane can get in close around engines, machinery and components in tight workshop space where a legged crane simply won't fit. Built with rugged, durable construction for continuous use, these cranes are versatile and straightforward to operate, making light work of repeated lifts through a shift. Counterbalance floor cranes are used to lift engines, gearboxes, machinery and heavy components in workshops, garages and maintenance bays, and anywhere a load needs raising and repositioning at low level rather than overhead. Mechanics, engineers, machinery installers and maintenance teams hire a floor crane when a legged crane can't get close enough to the load or the space is too tight for straddle legs. GAP Hire Solutions has counterbalance floor crane hire available nationwide with fast depot delivery.
