AWTOOLS AW20048 3 Ton Foldable Workshop Crane, 0-217 cm Lifting Height

In a busy automotive workshop, lifting a heavy engine block or moving machinery is a daily task. The AWTOOLS AW20048 workshop crane takes on that challenge with a robust 3-tonne capacity and a foldable frame that tucks neatly against the wall when not in use. Its four-position boom lets you balance reach and load, from 3000 kg at the shortest setting to 1500 kg at full extension, while the hydraulic cylinder raises loads smoothly from floor level up to 217 cm. Six swivel castors make positioning easy even in tight spaces, and the built-in overload valve protects both the operator and the crane. Whether you're pulling a motor, repositioning a lathe, or hoisting a pallet, this crane delivers controlled, dependable lifting in a compact, storable package.
