Folding Hydraulic Shop Crane: Boom and Load Selection
Workshop lifting with a folding frame and hydraulic boom.

| Operation | Hydraulic |
| Frame | Folding |
Product role and applications
A folding hydraulic shop crane serves workshop lifting and maintenance tasks where storage space matters. Hydraulic force raises the boom while the hook supports the load. Its folding frame is useful between jobs, but the folded footprint and the space needed for lifting are different dimensions.
Structure and compatibility
The boom position determines both reach and the applicable marked capacity. Extending the boom increases the lever arm, so the nominal series capacity must not be applied to every extension. Check the load attachment, support-leg clearance and workshop floor condition as part of the same lifting arrangement.
Features in practical use
Folding is a storage feature, while boom adjustment changes the lifting geometry. Buyers comparing shop cranes should assess both the space saved between jobs and the usable lifting positions. A crane that fits its storage bay may still need more floor area during work.

Technical guide
Configuration explained
No. A nominal series rating is not the capacity at every boom extension. Match the marked boom position to the applicable rating and account for the load attachment. Folding concerns storage and transport; it does not show that the crane can fold, travel or reposition while loaded.

Match the boom position to the workshop load
The folding hydraulic model is intended for workshop component and engine handling. Its listed 2000 kg capacity is not a promise at every extension. Confirm the marked boom positions, leg clearance and folded storage dimensions.
Information to include in your inquiry
Measure the space beneath and around the component before selecting the folding crane. Include the required boom extension, hook position and storage dimensions. Check the marked capacity for that extension instead of treating the nominal series capacity as constant throughout the reach.
What changes the buying decision
The folding frame helps with storage, while boom position determines the lifting duty. Do not apply the nominal 2000 kg figure to every reach setting. Specify the load centre, access beneath the item and available floor space, then obtain the capacity for the exact boom position and support arrangement.
Questions and answers
What floor-space details should I provide?
Describe the load location, clearance for the support legs and available storage space. Ask for the capacity at the actual reach, not only the maximum figure.
Can the folding dimensions be used as the working footprint?
No. Request both stored and operating dimensions, including support-leg clearance and the selected boom position.
Is the maximum series capacity available at full boom extension?
Do not assume it is. Use the marked boom position and its corresponding capacity when comparing the intended lift.
