Hydraulic Metal Baler

Among all types of cranes available in the industry, portable cranes is one of the essential part in many job sites. If we categorize portable cranes further more, there are few options of moveable crane in the industry.

For example, portable crane with a fixed stand-alone base is good when we want to move a heavy items from one place to other places. While davit crane that fits into fixed base is normally mounted on the truck or some type of moveable transport.

Besides that, there are many different sizes and specifications of cranes based on the purpose of using it. For instance, if you want a cranes that operate specifically to sop corrosion, you may want to have cranes with a galvanized coating on it or made with stainless steel.
Almost all the cranes have a "disconnect cable" for you to disconnect it from the crane when stay hooked on the load especially when you are working with submerged pumps. Due to the difficulties of reconnecting the cable without unplugging the pump, the connection system on cranes will allows you to submerse those submersible pumps.

Also, most of the cranes have either a hand or a power winch. If it is a hand winch model, it is normally a worm gear or a spur gear with an disk brake to adjust the load. In addition, the control disk brake is easy for us to lock or unlock the crane for safety lifting purpose to prevent injuries.

For high end crane, normally it is a power winch which include an electric motor and AC electric winch. But there are also several types of power winch based on your loading capacity of winch. Of course, each power winch will come with a pendant control and brake.

Basically, there are three options, which are 12 volt, pneumatic and hydraulic. An flexible adjustment is important for allowing the adjustment of reach as well as height combinations based on your sizes of loading. Portable cranes are able to swing 360 degree on a pin and sleeve bearing located in a base.
