Workshop Engine Crane JCB hydraulic folding 2 t lifting capacity, boom length 365–1930 mm

The Workshop Engine Crane JCB hydraulic folding 2 t lifting capacity, boom length 365–1930 mm is a workshop-grade lifting tool designed for handling engines, transmissions and other heavy components. It features a hydraulic pump for controlled vertical lifting, an adjustable boom that extends from 365 mm to 1930 mm for variable reach and load positioning, and a foldable frame that reduces storage footprint when not in use. The unit is built to support a rated lifting capacity of 2 tonnes and is intended for use in garages, service shops and industrial maintenance environments.

Advantages

The crane provides precise load control through its hydraulic system and a release valve for smooth lowering. Its adjustable boom allows positioning of loads at multiple outreach lengths to match different vehicle and workspace layouts. The folding frame and compact folded dimensions simplify storage and transport within a workshop. Robust construction and stable base design enhance safety during lifting operations, while swivel casters enable maneuverability on flat surfaces.

Suitable for

• Lifting and positioning automobile engines and transmissions
• Removing and installing heavy components in repair shops
• Maintenance tasks in garages and service bays
• Industrial equipment servicing where controlled lifting is required

Key specifications

• Rated lifting capacity: 2,000 kg (2 t)
• Adjustable boom length: 365–1,930 mm
• Hydraulic pump for lifting and controlled lowering
• Foldable frame for compact storage
• Swivel casters for workshop maneuverability
• Stable base with support legs for load stability

How to use

Position the crane on a level, solid surface and lock or secure the casters according to workshop practice. Extend or retract the boom to the required reach and secure its pin or locking mechanism. Attach appropriate lifting chains or slings to the load and connect them to the hook, ensuring balanced weight distribution. Operate the hydraulic pump to lift the load, monitoring stability and avoiding sudden movements. Use the release valve for controlled lowering and ensure the load is supported before disconnecting slings. Fold the frame and stow the crane when finished.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the crane before each use: check hydraulic fluid levels, examine hoses and fittings for damage, and ensure casters and pins are in good condition. Do not exceed the rated 2 t capacity; select the correct boom position for load balance and maintain clear communication with any assistants during lifting operations. Use certified lifting chains or slings and follow local safety regulations for workshop lifting equipment.
