Mobile Overhead Crane

Brought to you by EKG Racing, this crane is heavy enough to do the job, but can be quickly disassembled for portability or for storage.  It provides roll around mobility with a safety wheel mounting making it stable when a load is applied.

The flexible design has telescoping legs allowing the beam clearance to vary vertically from 6 ft to 9 ft so it can be wheeled through a standard garage door, or be raised to full height for maximum vertical lift.

Construction :  Steel cutting, drilling & welding required.
Load Capacity :  Depending on options, from 3,000 to 6,000 lbs*
