This is our most popular counterbalance workshop floor crane, and the design of this portable floor crane incorporates many key features that make it one of the most versatile items of workshop lifting equipment that we sell. We also make special versions of the crane to our customers' own specification with bespoke dimensions and lifting capacities, jib reach and height.
Note: Some pictures shown are our artists' impression only and are only indicative of our capability. (for display purposes only) All cranes are made individually, and the design may be subject to change according to your required specification; the pictures are not to scale. General arrangement drawings will be issued for approval on receipt of your order.
The most common additions to the standard cranes are:
- Removable vertical jib column to assist packing for export orders
- Vertical telescopic mast adjustment
- Brakes with locking castors and directional locking castors/wheels
- Electric power drive/propulsion and electric lift
- Outriggers on the crane body ensure a stable lift at height.
- Certified lifting points for the ability to have a crane lifted/moved by an overhead crane.
- Fork truck pockets, to enable the counterbalanced floor crane to be moved by a fork truck.
- Jacking feet to give a level and stable lift
- A rotating vertical jib arm that will rotate 15 degrees in either direction
- Hydraulic telescopic extending jib arm.
- Please see the Images Tab above for pictures of these features.

Floor Cranes With Spark Resistant Features / Explosion Proof.
For Floor cranes to be used in potentially explosive areas/atmospheres such as Zone 1 or 2, SELS can include any anti-sparking features that our customers specify - this will increase its anti-sparking properties and therefore make the crane more suitable for use in a potentially explosive environment.
SELS will not take the responsibility of supplying our floor cranes described as 'spark proof' as this is ‘too broad’ a term. We believe that total compliance is probably impossible because of the mechanical operation and movement of a floor crane; i.e. we cannot offer a 100% guarantee that no part of the assembly is capable of generating a spark which could ignite a flame. IE: SELS will supply/manufacture cranes with anti-sparking features to our customers’ requirements, though will not certify them as sparkproof / explosion proof. Our cranes have been successfully supplied to customers in the offshore Oil and Gas industry in the UK on this basis.
