Frequently asked questions about compact cranes
Is a small crane suitable for my work?
That varies depending on the situation. It depends on factors such as the weight you need to lift, the required reach, and the available space on site.

This way, you'll know immediately whether a small crane is suitable for your work.
Can I use one small crane for different types of projects?
Yes, that's precisely one of the strengths of our compact cranes. Models like the C6e and C10e are often chosen for their versatility. With one crane, you can install glass, lift steel structures, and perform other lifting tasks without needing multiple machines.
