Compact, portable cranes for lifting, shifting, installing & maintaining

Microcranes® portable mini cranes are engineered to lift, lower, transport, position, stack, carry, pull, and place heavy materials in tight-access environments where traditional lifting equipment cannot operate efficiently. Designed for indoor and outdoor use, these compact mobile cranes are ideal for rooftop lifting, floor-to-floor material handling, interior construction, industrial maintenance, and confined job site applications.

Available in 24v battery-powered, fully electric, and hydraulic configurations, Microcranes are compact enough to fit through standard residential doorways, inside elevators, narrow hallways, stairwells, aisles, and the back of a truck or van. Their portable, walk-behind design allows contractors to safely perform lifting operations in restricted access areas, around obstacles, and inside occupied buildings.

Unlike forklifts or traditional material lifters that raise loads from below, Microcranes utilize a spider-like overhead lifting system with cable and winch operation, allowing safer and more precise lifting from above the hook. This design improves maneuverability, reduces manual labor, and helps prevent workplace injuries and workers compensation claims.

The M1 Global Model features dual 24v batteries, a weatherproof onboard charger, hydraulic boom lift operation, and automated mobility for maximum job site flexibility. A fully electric 115v option is also available for continuous power applications. When folded into transport mode, the crane remains compact and easy to move between floors, rooftops, and difficult-access locations.

Microcranes are widely used across industries including HVAC, glazing, aerospace, aircraft maintenance, utilities, oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, warehousing, marine, shipping, mining, plumbing, energy, factories, railroads, water plants, concrete installation, aluminum and window installation, film and television production, and industrial maintenance operations.

These compact mini cranes are especially effective for: Rooftop HVAC installation, Apartment construction, Window and glass installation, Equipment replacement, Search and rescue operations, Disaster response deployment, Factory maintenance, Industrial rigging, Floor-to-floor lifting, Interior material handling, Exterior building maintenance.

Microcranes are designed for continuous rigging, pick-and-carry applications, and material handling in hazardous or difficult work environments, including confined industrial sites and utility infrastructure projects. All models utilize a durable box-style boom with hydraulic lift assistance for smooth operation and efficient setup. Lift capacities range from 100 lbs to 2,000 lbs (1 ton), with boom extension heights reaching up to 27 feet depending on configuration.

For rooftop lifting applications, Microcranes can also lower materials down the side of buildings at depths up to 13 stories/135 ft. using an overhaul ball and electric winch system. This makes them ideal for high-rise construction, maintenance, repair, and retrofit projects where large mobile crane access may be limited or cost prohibitive. Compact, portable, versatile, and fast to deploy, Microcranes help contractors reduce costs by minimizing the need for large boom crane rentals while increasing job site efficiency and lifting flexibility.
