In industrial and logistics sectors, operating space is often a limiting factor. Having a compact and manoeuvrable crane is essential for optimising lifting and load handling operations, reducing handling times and ensuring operator safety.
Just Lift mini slewing cranes are designed precisely to meet this need, offering maximum precision, minimum footprint and exceptional manoeuvrability. Thanks to their slewing capability, they allow you to work in confined spaces without having to reposition the entire machine, making movement more efficient and safer.

Mini slewing crane: what is it and how does it work?
Just Lift mini slewing cranes are lifting devices equipped with a ball bearing slewing ring, which allows the main column of the machine to rotate, enabling smooth and precise movements without the need to move the entire machine. This makes them ideal for operations in confined spaces, where manoeuvrability is essential.
Maximum rotation: 360° movement with the JL150 Just Lift jib crane
The JL150 electric crane model is equipped with full 360° rotation, allowing a wide range of unlimited movements, perfect for applications requiring agile and extremely precise positioning.
270° rotation with JL250, JL500 and JL750 mini hydraulic cranes
The Just Lift JL250, JL500 and JL750 mini hydraulic crane models (link to product page) are designed to offer up to 270° rotation, ensuring a wide range of action while maintaining compactness and stability. This configuration is ideal for warehouses and industrial areas where manoeuvring space is limited.
Advantages of Just Lift mini slewing cranes for confined spaces
Maximum precision in movement, smoothness and compactness: these are the advantages of Just Lift electric and hydraulic mini cranes.
Smooth movements and maximum precision
The rotation system of Just Lift mini cranes allows you to position the load with extreme precision, performing rotational movements without having to reposition the entire crane. This ensures greater safety for operators, thanks to the reduction of unnecessary movements and smooth load control. Just Lift cranes are the ideal machines for operations requiring delicate manoeuvres and precise positioning.
Compact design for confined spaces
Designed for use in warehouses, workshops and industrial plants with limited space, Just Lift cranes are characterised by their compact dimensions, which allow them to pass through narrow doors and corridors, making them easy to use in any environment.
Why choose a Just Lift mini slewing crane?
There are many reasons why our customers have chosen Just Lift hydraulic cranes:
Superior manoeuvrability thanks to 270° or 360° slewing and an ergonomic remote control that allows millimetric movements without tiring the operator.
Greater operational efficiency: mini slewing cranes reduce load positioning time and allow you to work in confined spaces without movement restrictions, improving productivity and operational efficiency.
Technology and innovation: the use of battery-powered electric motors for quiet and environmentally friendly operation and advanced safety systems that prevent errors and overloads and ensure safe use of the machine.
Where can Just Lift mini slewing jib cranes be used?
Just Lift mini slewing cranes are designed to operate only indoors and on flat surfaces, ensuring stability and safety. Here are some of the contexts in which they are most commonly used:
Warehouses and logistics centres: perfect for handling goods in narrow aisles and confined spaces.
Pharmaceutical and chemical industry: ideal for lifting in controlled environments where zero emissions are essential.
Automotive and manufacturing industry: used for positioning components on production lines, optimising workflows and ensuring precision in assembly.
