Aardwolf Powered Counterbalance Crane with Lateral Movement - APCCL
Aardwolf Powered Counterbalance Crane with Lateral Movement
The Powered Counterbalance Crane with Lateral Movement has an adjustable boom to allow for maximum adjustment and versatility to lift a variety of loads. The boom is raised via a 12V battery-powered hydraulic pump. The boom also telescopes out for greater reach. The counterbalance design eliminates the need for front legs. This makes the unit easier to maneuver and allows the crane to reach tight, hard to reach areas.
Fitted with hard wearing, high-capacity nylon front wheels, this device can pick and carry loads and be pushed on a flat surface to transport materials on solid paved surfaces.
Features
- Extra hydraulic cylinder for lateral movement of the front axil. An integral counterweight
- An easy to operate hydraulically lifted extending boom
- Folds down for easy transportation
