How much can this jib crane lift?
Every model in this H-Series listing is rated at 1/2 ton capacity. The rating is the same at an 8 ft span as it is at a 20 ft span, so a longer boom does not reduce what the crane will lift. Remember that the hoist, rigging and any below-hook attachment count against the rated capacity, not just the load itself.
What HUB heights and spans are available?
There are 39 models, built around HUB heights of 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 ft with spans from 8 ft to 20 ft in 2 ft steps. The 8 ft span is offered only with the 10, 12 and 14 ft HUB heights; the 16, 18 and 20 ft HUB heights begin at a 10 ft span. Pick the span from the working radius you need to cover.
How much does the crane weigh, and why does that matter?
Listed weights range from 949 lbs for the H1108 (10 ft HUB, 8 ft span) to 2,874 lbs for the H12020 (20 ft HUB, 20 ft span). Weight climbs with both HUB height and span. Use the figure for your exact model when planning the foundation, the floor slab it will be anchored to, and the equipment needed to offload and set the crane.
How do I choose a model for my building?
Match the HUB height to your available overhead clearance first, then the span to the area you need to reach. HUB height is the mast dimension, not your hook height: the boom, trolley, hoist and rigging all sit below it and reduce usable lift. Measure from the finished floor to the lowest obstruction, such as lights, ducts or sprinkler lines, before selecting.
Is a hoist included?
The published product data for this crane covers the structure only, listing model, HUB height, span and weight. It does not specify a hoist, trolley, motor or electrical supply, so treat those as separate decisions and confirm what ships with your order before you buy. Your hoist choice also determines the power you will need to run to the crane.
What does it cost?
Pricing starts at $3,925. That figure corresponds to the entry point in the range, and cost rises with HUB height and span, so a 20 ft HUB, 20 ft span crane will not price the same as a 10 ft HUB, 8 ft span unit. Request pricing against a specific model number, since each of the 39 configurations is priced separately.
