‘I have to lift moulds weighing between 50 and 500 kg, which mini crane is most suitable?’ ’I have to move loads of 30 kg, which mini crane should I use?’ Choosing the right mini crane for the job and the load to be handled is one of the most frequently asked questions. The answer depends on several factors, including the type of load, the working environment and the frequency of operations. In this article, Just Lift guides you through the available options, helping you to identify the ideal mini crane for your needs.
Why choosing the right mini crane is important
Choosing the most suitable mini crane is not only a question of efficiency, but also of safety and cost optimisation. Using a crane with insufficient or excessive capacity can lead to slowdowns, risks for operators and unnecessary expenses. Thanks to the experience of Just Lift, you can find the perfect solution for any lifting need.
How to understand the capacity of a mini crane? The mini guide by Just Lift.
To ensure safety and optimal performance, it is essential to determine the correct capacity of the mini crane. Here are some useful steps to identify the ideal capacity:
Assessment of the maximum load weight: Measure or calculate the weight of the objects to be lifted. It is important to also consider any unforeseen circumstances, such as variations in weight due to additional materials or packaging.
Calculating the safety margin: Add a safety margin of 10-20% to the estimated maximum weight to be handled. This protects the equipment and operators, preventing the risk of overload.
Analyse frequency of use: if the equipment is to be lifted frequently or for prolonged periods, such as during daily work shifts, it is advisable to opt for a mini crane with a longer battery life.
Consider environmental conditions: the type of environment (indoor or outdoor, spacious or confined) can influence the choice and configuration of the mini crane.
Identifying the right capacity means not only guaranteeing safety, but also optimising the time and costs of operations. If you have any doubts about your choice, rely on the experience of Just Lift. Our expert technicians can help you assess your needs and choose the mini crane that best suits your work and offers the best performance.
