How hard it is to push a crane depends on the crane size, capacity, and metal type. A good “rule of thumb” is it will take approximately one person per ton of a loaded-up crane. An equal number of people at each end of the crane is recommended.
Most standard crane models up to 5 Ton Capacity and 15′ span are in stock and can ship 2-5 days after receipt of order.
7 1/2 to 10 Ton cranes and/or cranes with spans over 15′ typically ship 1 to 2 weeks after receipt of order.
15 Ton Cranes are made to order and typically ship approximately 5 to 7 weeks after receipt of the order.
No, hoists and trolleys are not included. They are sold separately. The price will be quoted when you Request a Quote for a crane that includes a hoist and/or trolley.
Please contact us if you want to receive a price quote for a hoist or trolley without a crane.
Holes for height adjustments on our cranes are in 6″ increments.
The Wallace Certificate of Compliance states that the crane shipped to you will accept 125% of the rated load without permanent deformation or failure of any component.
