faqs about engine hoists & floor cranes

What are engine hoists?

Engine hoists are mobile lifting devices, typically with a hydraulic jack and extendable boom, that allow operators to lift and manoeuvre engines or heavy loads safely and precisely. They eliminate the need for manual lifting and reduce the risk of strain or injury.

What types of engine cranes are available?

Engine cranes include hydraulic engine hoists, folding or compact floor cranes, and heavy-duty industrial models. Each type offers different lifting capacities and features based on vehicle size and usage requirements.

What safety features should I look for in an engine crane?

Look for features such as secure load hooks, adjustable booms, overload protection, and lockable casters. These help improve safety during lifting operations and support controlled load movement.

How often should an engine crane be inspected?

An engine crane should be visually inspected before each use for signs of wear, fluid leaks, bent or damaged members, or loose fasteners. A thorough inspection should also be carried out periodically as part of a safety programme.

How much weight can an engine crane lift?

Engine cranes are available in various capacities, commonly ranging from 1 ton to 3 tons or more. Always verify the rated capacity of the model you select and never exceed it for safe operation.

What is the difference between an engine crane and a standard floor crane?

An engine crane is specifically designed with a boom suitable for lifting engines and similar loads, while a standard floor crane may be more general purpose with adjustable features for a wider range of lifting tasks.
