Model FHS216-S10AC
Key Features
Strong, Stable, Durable, and Portable
The Hippolift steel 1-ton fixed-height, adjustable-span portable gantry crane is an ideal combination of strength, stability, durability, and portability. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor, commercial and industrial applications due to its design allowing for mobility and flexibility across different environments. The Hippolift is ideal when you need heavy lifting capacity and quick, easy assembly and disassembly. It is a portable, heavy-duty alternative to a more expensive overhead crane that would require permanent installation.
Made with high-quality American Standard heavy-gauge steel square tubing, our 1-ton Hippolifts are designed to roll under load. They are extremely stable with a self-aligning I-beam and casters with 4-position swivel locks. They have an adjustable span (B), fixed height (C) and tread (E).
- The Hippolift is built using our patented pinned-joint design, which results in a longer-lasting, better-fitting, more flexible crane that is quick and easy to assemble and disassemble.
- Strong square-tube steel posts and frames.
- An adjustable span allows for inboard or outboard bracing and a cantilever configuration overhang of up to 25% of the I-beam length.
- The exclusive Wallace I-beam support system aligns off-center loads to avoid distortion of the crane and trolley.
- Casters are equipped with a 4-position swivel lock. When locked 90 degrees with each other, they position the crane more firmly than a brake.
- Completely portable. Hippolifts can be rolled around to serve more than one workstation or workplace. Simply lock “lead” casters and unlock trailing casters to easily move and steer the crane.

Assembly and Disassembly Instructions
(Form 449)
Cautions
- Read and understand instructions before using this gantry.
- Inspect gantry thoroughly before using (see Form 379F) for damaged or missing parts.
- Do not lift more than rated capacity.
- Center hoist over the load.
- Do not allow load to swing or to roll against any supporting members.
- When moving gantry under load, push on the gantry, not the load. Be certain that rolling surface is hard, level, clean and smooth.
- Do not move gantry over 50 feet per minute (1/2 mph).
- Not to be used for lifting or supporting humans.
Before You Begin
- Select a clear area to assemble the crane. The work envelope should extend five feet beyond twice the leg length (when flat) and the length of the I-beam.
- This clear area should be serviced by two overhead hoists or an alternate as shown in Form 379F. The cranes will raise the I-beam and leg assemblies when required.
- Select tools for fastening the nuts and bolts. You will also need C-clamps to hold the trolley in place while the crane is assembled.
- Place parts on a flat surface, preferably on cardboard, to keep small parts clean and organized.

Engineering Specification
Gantry end frames shall be of steel square tube construction manufactured to Wallace Cranes standards including, but not limited to, the following:
- Gantry shall be fixed in height.
- Gantry shall be adjustable in span so that operators may adjust the crane to an inboard braced, outboard braced, or a combination of the two or approved cantilevered configuration.
- Gantry shall have a fixed caster frame spread; and welded caster frame plates for attachment of casters.
- I-beam shall be American Standard with a design deflection of no greater than 1/800th of the span in accordance with Wallace design criteria. I-beam shall be free-swinging and self-aligning to allow lifting off-center loads.
- Gantry shall be equipped with four, 360 degree rotating, non-marking phenolic resin casters with 4-position swivel locks, at 90 degrees, to provide easy steering of the crane by locking “lead” casters only, or to allow positioning of the crane more firmly than a brake by locking all four casters 90 degrees to each other. Casters shall be 6” or 8” diameter as determined by capacity, height, and span of the crane.
- The I-beam and I-beam brackets shall be painted with red gloss industrial-quality paint.
- The frames, including brace legs, caster frames, and main legs, shall be dip-painted with red gloss industrial-quality paint to protect both inner and outer tubing walls.
- The model number to be provided shall be tested in accordance with Wallace specifications (A specific unit shipped is not tested; unless a Certificate of Test is ordered [additional charge applies]).
- Gantry bolts and hardware shall be plated to prevent corrosion.
- Gantry is manufactured in accordance with our interpretation of ANSI B30.17 and U.S. OSHA, (Section 1910.179, revised January 1976), regulations at the time of manufacture.

Wallace offers additional steel, fixed-height gantry cranes in our Thrifty models. Thrifties have gussets instead of brace legs, allowing for a greater clear span and lower ship weight. They are just as portable as our Hippolifts and come in 1-7.5 ton capacities.
