  • How does a Counterbalanced Floor Crane work?
    A counterbalanced crane features an upright main girder and an operating platform. The main girder supports the load, which is connected to a hoist trolley via a vertical rail system with counterweights. These counterweights keep the trolley balanced, even when handling heavy objects, allowing the load to be moved easily from point A to point B while reducing strain on the operator’s back. Counterbalanced floor cranes are known for their stability and reliability, even on uneven ground, a feat that regular manual cranes cannot achieve. This capability allows them to be used in various locations, providing greater flexibility and convenience for completing tasks.
