Workshop Engine Crane NORTON GR020C 2T lifting capacity

The NORTON GR020C Workshop Engine Crane is a hydraulic lifting device with a rated 2-ton lifting capacity designed for professional and hobbyist workshops. It features a stable base and a folding boom to reduce storage footprint, while adjustable hook positions allow precise positioning of engines, transmissions and other heavy components during maintenance, repair or assembly operations. The crane is intended for indoor workshop use on level surfaces and is compatible with standard engine and transmission lifting points.

Advantages

The crane offers a compact foldable design for space-efficient storage and transport, combined with a hydraulic system that enables controlled raising and lowering of loads. A reinforced steel frame and wide base improve stability under load. Multiple boom positions and an adjustable hook let you adapt reach and clearance to specific lifting tasks, and the unit’s caster wheels provide mobility across workshop floors.

Suitable for

• Lifting engines and transmissions during vehicle repair
• Removing and installing heavy components in cars, vans and light trucks
• Workshop maintenance tasks requiring safe, controlled lifting of bulky items
• Situations where compact storage and mobility of lifting equipment are needed

Key specifications

• Rated lifting capacity: 2 tons
• Hydraulic lifting mechanism with controlled lowering
• Folding boom for reduced storage dimensions
• Adjustable boom positions and hook for variable reach
• Reinforced steel construction with wide base for stability
• Caster wheels for mobility on level workshop floors

How to use

Position the engine crane on a level, stable surface and secure the wheels as appropriate. Unfold the boom and select the required boom position and hook setting to match the lifting points on the load. Attach the lifting chain or sling to the engine or component using suitable lifting points, ensuring all connections are secure. Operate the hydraulic pump to raise the load slowly, checking for balance and clearance. Move the crane carefully while the load is suspended, and lower the load using the release control when the load is in the correct position. After use, retract the boom and fold the crane for storage.

Usage recommendations

Only use the crane within its rated 2-ton capacity and on level, solid surfaces. Inspect chains, hooks and hydraulic components before each use, and replace any damaged parts. Use certified slings and follow vehicle manufacturer lifting points. Do not stand under suspended loads and avoid sudden movements while transferring loads to maintain stability and safety.
