How much can this crane lift?
Every model shown here is rated at 1/8 ton capacity. The rating is the same across all listed models, so choosing a longer span or a taller hub height does not change what the crane can carry. Select the model by the reach and height your work area needs, then confirm your heaviest load, including any rigging, stays within the 1/8 ton rating.
What sizes are available?
Hub heights of 8 ft, 10 ft and 12 ft, each offered with spans of 6 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft or 14 ft. The model number reflects both: FL2586 is an 8 ft hub height with a 6 ft span, and FL251214 is a 12 ft hub height with a 14 ft span. Check your overhead clearance and floor space before selecting.
How much does the crane weigh?
Weights run from 478 lbs for the FL2586 to 865 lbs for the FL251214. Weight increases with both span and hub height. For example, the 10 ft hub height models weigh 516 lbs at a 6 ft span, 580 lbs at 10 ft, and 820 lbs at 14 ft. Use the figure for your specific model when planning unloading, handling and floor loading.
Does it need a concrete foundation poured for it?
No, this is a foundationless floor mounted design, so it does not require a purpose-poured footing and instead mounts to an existing floor. The specifications here do not state slab thickness, anchor requirements or floor loading limits, so have your floor assessed against the crane weight and rated load before installation.
Does the price include a hoist or any powered components?
The specifications for this product cover the crane structure only: model, hub height, span and weight. No hoist, trolley, motor or electrical supply is listed, and the published weights are for the crane itself. Confirm hoist type and any power requirements separately, and make sure the hoist and load together stay within the 1/8 ton rating.
What kind of work is this crane suited to, and what is it not?
It suits light, repeated lifting within a fixed work area, at or below 1/8 ton and within the span you select. Typical uses are a single workstation such as a machine cell, a loading point or an assembly bench. It is not the right choice for heavier loads, for coverage beyond a 14 ft span, or where a floor mount cannot be used.
