Electric mini cranes are essential tools in many industrial sectors thanks to their versatility, sustainability and precision. However, not all mini cranes offer the same functionality: among the various models, fixed, mobile and self-propelled mini cranes stand out. In this article, we will focus on electric self-propelled mini cranes, explaining the advantages of their use and discovering Just Lift products.
How many types of mini cranes are there? Differences between the various configurations
If we consider the mode of movement, mini cranes come in three types: fixed, mobile or self-propelled. Let's take a look at the main differences between these machines for handling and moving loads.
Static operations with fixed mini cranes
As the name suggests, fixed mini cranes are designed for static operations at a specific point. Although they offer stability and high load capacity, they are limited by their lack of mobility, cannot be moved independently by an operator and can only be used for repetitive operations in a limited area.
Movement on wheels with mobile mini cranes
Mobile mini cranes are equipped with wheels or supports that allow them to be moved manually or by external vehicles. Although they are more flexible than fixed cranes, they take up a lot of space and still require some effort to transport. Mobile cranes are designed for handling heavy loads in very large spaces and require more operating time for positioning.
Agility and compactness: Just Lift's electric self-propelled mini cranes
Electric self-propelled mini cranes are the most advanced and versatile solution when it comes to lifting, moving and positioning loads weighing from 150 to 800 kg. All Just Lift small cranes feature:
Complete autonomy: thanks to their motorised traction, they can move easily between different work areas.
Compactness: Just Lift mini cranes are perfect for handling loads in confined or difficult-to-access spaces.
Energy efficiency: the batteries guarantee long hours of autonomy, even for long shifts, with low operating costs.
Compared to fixed and mobile mini cranes, self-propelled cranes offer a complete solution, eliminating the need for external supports or manual movement. With Just Lift's small self-propelled cranes, you can operate in confined spaces with maximum efficiency, optimising your production processes in various sectors and in complete safety for your operators.
