Counter Balance Floor Crane

The “Legless” Solution for Obstruction-Free Lifting

Standard floor cranes have front legs that stick out. Unfortunately, these legs often hit the base of your machine, preventing you from getting the hook close enough to the load. Therefore, for machine shops and maintenance bays, you need the Counter Balance Floor Crane by Meeginz Industries. Specifically engineered with a heavy rear weight box, this design eliminates the need for front straddle legs entirely.

Consequently, you can drive the crane chassis right up against a lathe, milling machine, or loading dock wall. Furthermore, the telescopic boom extends over the machine bed to pick up heavy chucks, dies, or workpieces effortlessly. Ultimately, this specialized crane solves the “access problem” that standard cranes and forklifts cannot, thereby making it an indispensable tool for CNC workshops.

Why Choose Our Counter Balance Crane?

1. Zero Front Obstruction

Access is everything. Because there are no legs extending in front of the wheels, the boom is the only thing that reaches forward. This allows you to position the crane hook directly over the center of a wide machine table or deep inside an engine bay. In contrast, a standard crane would stop 2-3 feet away because its legs would hit the machine base.

2. Maximum Stability

Safety relies on balance. Meeginz cranes feature an extended rear chassis that holds a heavy ballast box. This acts as a counterweight to the load being lifted. Moreover, the wheelbase is wide enough to prevent tipping during turns. Thus, you can lift heavy loads with complete confidence, knowing the center of gravity is secure.

3. Versatile Telescopic Reach

Flexibility is key. Accordingly, the boom arm is adjustable. You can extend it to reach further (for lighter loads) or retract it for maximum lifting capacity. Additionally, the hook swivels 360 degrees. Hence, positioning a heavy mold or die precisely onto alignment pins becomes a simple task.

4. Compact & Mobile

Space is tight. Fortunately, despite its heavy weight, the crane is easy to move. By utilizing high-quality roller bearings in the wheels and a steering handle, a single operator can maneuver the unit. Furthermore, since it has no wide front legs, it can turn in tighter circles than a forklift.

Ideal Applications

• CNC Machine Shops: Loading heavy raw material bars into lathes.

• Press Shops: Changing dies on punching machines where floor access is blocked.

• Loading Docks: Reaching into the back of a van or small truck.

• Maintenance: Lifting pumps or motors from plinths where legs can’t fit.

• Laboratories: Moving sensitive equipment over benchtops.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is it hard to push? A: Yes, slightly harder than a standard crane due to the heavy counterweight. Therefore, for frequent movement over long distances, we recommend our Electric Drive version.

Q: Does it come with weights? A: Generally, we supply the empty weight box to save on shipping costs. You can then fill it with concrete blocks, scrap metal, or sandbags at your site. However, we can supply pre-cast iron weights upon request.

Q: Can it lift from the floor? A: Yes. The boom can lower the hook all the way to the ground. Thus, picking up a motor or gearbox directly from the floor is no problem.
