About Engine Hoists & Floor Cranes
Floor Cranes Built for Daily Shop Work
A floor crane (also called a shop crane or engine crane) lifts engines, transmissions, dies and machinery and rolls them across the floor. The models here are built for shops that lift every day.
A counterbalance floor crane has no front legs, so it reaches over pallets, benches and machine bases that a standard engine hoist cannot straddle. A portable cantilever hoist adds a 360 degree boom and outriggers for more reach and capacity.
Need a gantry instead? See gantry cranes, or call (470) 208-2754.
How to Choose a Floor Crane
Capacity
Capacity drops as the boom extends. Check the chart at the reach you need.
Legs or No Legs
Counterbalance cranes reach over obstacles. Leg cranes need room to straddle the load.
Lift Power
Manual hydraulic, shop air or 12V DC battery lift.
Floor
Use on smooth, level floors and keep casters clear of cracks and cords.

Engine Hoists & Floor Cranes FAQs
Can these lift a car engine?
Yes. They handle engines and transmissions easily, and the counterbalance design lets you reach over a fender or bench without front legs in the way.
What is a counterbalance floor crane?
It uses a weighted base instead of front legs to balance the load, so the boom can reach over obstacles a standard engine hoist would hit.
Manual, air or DC lift?
Manual hydraulic is simple and needs no power. Shop air and 12V DC lift save effort when you lift many times a day.
How do floor cranes ship?
They ship LTL freight on a pallet. Most of these models are made to order, so check the lead time on the product page.
