Buying a construction crane: what are the options?
Do you have a lifting job, but no room for a large crane? Then a compact construction crane from Hoeflon is exactly what you're looking for. These smart construction cranes are specially designed for confined spaces, such as narrow streets, courtyards, or buildings. Discover why buying a compact construction crane from Hoeflon is the right choice.
Buying a construction crane? Choose compact, clean, and quiet.
A standard construction crane is often large and heavy, making it difficult to move. Hoeflon mini cranes are different. They're compact, lightweight, yet powerful. You can easily maneuver them through a doorway or hallway. The C1e even fits in an elevator, making it ideal for indoor work.
Hoeflon cranes are also electric. This is convenient, as more and more construction sites require emission-free operation. An electric crane is ideal for this. It also ensures clean and quiet operation.
How does a Hoeflon construction crane work?
All Hoeflon cranes come standard with a wireless remote control, allowing you to operate the crane remotely. This means you don't have to be in the crane yourself. You still have a clear view and can work safely and accurately.

Is a compact construction crane powerful enough?
Absolutely. Our cranes can lift loads from 550 to a whopping 9,000 kg. That's enough for glass walls, steel beams, jacuzzis, or an entire production line. Our cranes also deliver power in difficult-to-reach places, such as in historic buildings with narrow passageways and on the roofs of apartments or offices. Take the C6e, for example. This construction crane lifts up to 3,000 kg and still fits through a standard doorway. Our cranes may be small in size, but they pack a powerful punch.
What is the maximum lifting capacity of the cranes?
The lifting capacity varies by construction crane model. The smallest crane (the C1e) lifts 550 kg. The largest (the C30e ) can lift 9,000 kg. In between, we offer models with capacities of 2,350 kg, 3,000 kg, and 4,000 kg. So you're sure to find a crane that's right for your job.
Are Hoeflon cranes suitable for inner-city projects?
Yes, our cranes are especially useful in urban areas. They're ideal for installing glass in an apartment, lifting work on a roof terrace, or renovating a shopping street. Because the cranes are available in widths starting from 70 cm, you can easily maneuver them anywhere. And thanks to the silent electric drive, you won't disturb anyone.
What are the dimensions and weight of the construction cranes?
Our smallest crane is 70 cm wide, 1.70 m long, and 1.36 m high. This crane weighs 1,060 kg. The larger models are wider and heavier, but are still easy to transport. For example, the C1e fits perfectly in a van, while the C4e and C6e are easy to tow on a trailer.

Buying a new construction crane is an investment. But if you use the crane frequently, buying is still more cost-effective. You'll always have the machine available and quickly recoup your investment. If you only use the crane occasionally, renting might be a smarter option.
