What is the lifting capacity of this jib crane?
Every CW-Series model on this page is rated at 1/2 ton capacity. That rating is the same across all seven sizes, from the CW108 to the CW120, so choosing a taller hub height or a longer span does not change what the crane will carry. Confirm your heaviest load, plus the weight of the hoist and rigging you hang from it, stays within that rating.
What sizes are available, and how do hub height and span differ?
Seven models cover 8 ft to 20 ft of hub height. The CW108, CW110 and CW112 give 8, 10 and 12 ft hub height on a 3 ft span. The CW114, CW116 and CW118 give 14, 16 and 18 ft hub height on a 4 ft span. The CW120 is 20 ft hub height with a 6 ft span.
How much does the crane weigh, and what does that mean for the wall it mounts to?
Between 365 lbs and 988 lbs, depending on model. The CW108 is 365 lbs, CW110 407 lbs, CW112 449 lbs, CW114 595 lbs, CW116 772 lbs, CW118 832 lbs, and CW120 988 lbs. Because the crane is cantilevered off a wall or structural column, have a qualified structural engineer confirm the mounting structure can carry that dead weight plus the rated load.
Does this crane need an electrical supply?
No power supply is listed for the crane itself. The published data covers model, hub height, span and weight only, with no motor or drive specified for the structure. Any electrical requirement comes from the hoist you choose to hang from it, so use that hoist's own ratings when you plan your outlet or disconnect.
Is a hoist or trolley included?
The specifications describe the crane structure only — model, hub height, span and weight. No hoist, trolley, rigging or mounting hardware is listed in that data, so treat those as separate line items and confirm the exact contents of your order before you buy. Anything you add has to work within the 1/2 ton rating.
Who is this crane a good fit for, and who should look at something else?
It suits a fixed workstation that needs a lifting point next to a wall or structural column — a press, a machining cell, a loading point. Working radius is short: 3 ft of span on the smallest models, 4 ft in the middle range, 6 ft on the CW120. If you need to move loads across an open bay, a floor-mounted or overhead system fits better.
