OUR ENGINE CRANES EXPLAINED

When it comes to selecting the right Engine Crane or Shop Crane for your needs, precision is key. Opting for the wrong crane can lead to inefficiencies or unnecessary expenses. To help you make an informed choice, we’ve put together an overview highlighting the pros and cons of our product range, their unique features, and the advantages they bring. This way, you can confidently decide without second-guessing yourself.

The first step in handling any load is assessing its weight. Most standard engines weigh under 200kg, but we recognize that many of our clients require specialized solutions. That’s why we offer cranes with higher capacities—up to 2,000kg and even 5,000kg upon request—to accommodate those demanding tasks.

Our Raptor Foldable Workshop/Engine Crane is a fantastic entry-level option designed with ergonomics in mind. It includes premium features like a maneuverable handle, a V-shaped chassis, and sturdy steel construction—all at an affordable price. With lifting capacities ranging from 500kg to 2,000kg, the Raptor crane offers flexibility with three adjustable heights (the longest being 1290mm) and a swivel hook that rotates 360 degrees, making it incredibly adaptable for various jobs.

For those seeking a premium yet cost-effective solution, the Steerman EC 1,000kg Standard Folding Portable Engine Crane stands out. This model is designed for reliability and versatility, featuring a robust standard configuration. Available exclusively in a 1,000kg capacity, it boasts a maximum reach of 1020mm and offers five distinct lifting positions—a feature that surpasses the capabilities of the Raptor model. With fast shipping options directly from our UK stock, this crane has become a customer favorite.

At the top tier of performance lies the Pfaff Silberblau HWK/KLS V-Shaped and Parallel Engine Cranes. These units are built for durability, incorporating heavy-duty engineering with advanced features like a hydraulic lift system capable of rotating for multi-angle access. Additional perks include customizable V-shaped or parallel frames to fit snugly around Euro pallets (with an 85mm internal width), and a reliable parking brake to keep loads secure during critical moments—like when removing a powerful engine from a high-performance vehicle. If your work demands excellence, the Pfaff HWK/KLS series delivers.
