5.0 out of 5 stars I like it. Does exactly what I needed at the right price.
This is decent value. Well made (ignore folk complaining the holes are not aligned, they are if you relax the nuts and then tighten). Instructions are laughable, refer to the spare parts diagram on the back of the leaflet and you’ll see exactly where everything goes. Yes, there is the odd light scratch (in my case I think from transit) but the paint is thick enough and seems good quality. It comes in two boxes, the long one of which was rather trashed on delivery but all was still inside. Once you get your head around that parts diagram it this is easy to assemble. I’ve not pushed it hard - my fly press only weighs around 150kg, but it lifted this with ease. Was also reasonably easy to move about once the weight is borne, which in my cramped workshop was a boon. The castors are metal and durable. It folds up nicely. As others have mentioned, a little standardisation of bolt and nut sizes wouldn’t have hurt at all, but really at this price if it does what you expect don’t complain. You only assemble it once. I think mine is a keeper so long as I have room. Something useful maybe once every couple of years, but when it is needed…
4.0 out of 5 stars Will get the job done
I bought the 2 tonne version to get more reach, used it to lift a 3rd of a tonne lathe on its stand in my workshop, could of hired one I suppose but it will be useful for moving other machines, I tried it on my bandsaw first as it had a lifting hook on the top, worked no problem, think thats around 1/2 tonne. The good things are the way it packs away, easy to use and value for money. Things that could be better are the casters, a bit stiff to turn under load but my concrete floor isn't that smooth so that wouldn't help. Info states 6 swivel castors not on mine 4 swivel and 2 smaller fixed which are off the ground during use but when folded up come in to play, thing is they are splayed out causing drag, should have been swivelling.with the castors under the box section at the front its 200mm up which just worked out for me but I had to remove a lathe panel, I expect this would't be a problem if you bought it to lift an engine. The build instructions are hopeless, think mine was for a different model but I got there in the end so don't trust them. the finish isgood, the box seems a little thin in some areas, I wouldn't like to overload it. Over all it works well enough and is good value for the money. very happy with it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good value
Bought this for my husband, he loves it. It was easy to put together and to fold up to store. Carried the mini engine no bother. Very sturdy.
3.0 out of 5 stars Nightmare to put together
This item was a nightmare to put together . It takes 2 people . The instructions made no sense so had to wing it . Took a while . Once put together very sturdy was easy to move around and collapse but leave plenty of time to put together 😵💫🤦♀️
5.0 out of 5 stars For the price, it's great!
Great value bit of kit. Ended up costing the same as renting one for a couple of days, so buying made far more sense.A lot of reviews mention poor instructions or holes not lining up - that’s user error. The manual has a clear exploded diagram showing which bolts go where.Not sure on a bolt size? Just measure it. And if holes don’t match, it’s because you’ve already tightened things down too early. As with any metal frame, loosely fit everything first, then tighten once it’s together.The kit itself works well, packs down neatly, and is surprisingly easy to carry. Only thing worth noting is the legs don’t lock when folded, so a bungee cord helps keep them in place.The finish on the welds isn’t perfect, but at this price you can’t expect premium - and it does the job without issue.Worth noting, the delivery came in two parcels on two separate days.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works well
Works well, and no issue with any hole alignment if you initially assemble the upper frame & supports loosely. Bolts need to be measured to ensure the correct lengths go in the correct location too. Instructions are just an exploded parts diagram, but if you’re using this crane then you’re probably familiar with those.
4.0 out of 5 stars Instructions poor
Appears heavy duty. Instructions very basicPity they couldn't standardise all the different lengths of bolts and just have the longer length.
