FAQ

Can one crane serve several lift points?

Yes. Install a base at each pump station or wet well and move one crane between them.

What base do I need?

It depends on the floor and location: pedestal, flush-mount, wall, roll or hitch-mount. Tell us the mounting surface and we will match the base to the crane.

Are the Rescue-Rated cranes for personnel lifting?

They are configured for rescue and retrieval of injured or disabled workers, and are not rated for routine personnel lifting.

Can I add a power winch?

Yes. Thern offers electric winch packages for its davit cranes, and portable winches can be mounted on most models.
