engine cranes
Engine cranes are hydraulic lifting systems used to safely remove, position and install engines and heavy components in workshop environments. Also known as workshop cranes or engine hoists, they provide controlled lifting for automotive and commercial vehicle servicing.
GEMCO supplies professional engine cranes designed for reliability, precision and safe operation in garages, dealerships and commercial vehicle workshops.
OUR RANGE OF engine cranes
Workshop cranes use hydraulic lifting systems and adjustable jib arms to provide controlled lifting across a range of capacities. Foldable designs allow the crane to be stored efficiently when not in use, making them ideal for workshops where space is limited.
Key features such as 360 degree rotating pumps, pivoting lifting hooks and mobile wheel assemblies allow operators to position and manoeuvre loads safely, even in confined workshop environments. Built-in overload protection and controlled lowering systems support safe handling of heavy components.
These systems are commonly used for engine removal, transmission handling and component positioning across automotive and commercial applications.
Engine Cranes for Workshop Use
Engine cranes are widely used in automotive workshops for removing and installing engines, gearboxes and other heavy components. Their adjustable lifting arms allow operators to manage different load positions and weights safely.
This makes them essential equipment for vehicle repair, maintenance and rebuild work.
Foldable Workshop Cranes for Space Efficiency
Many workshop cranes feature foldable designs, allowing them to be stored compactly when not in use. This is particularly useful in busy workshops where floor space is limited.
Despite their compact storage footprint, these cranes provide high lifting capacity and robust performance during operation.
Safe Lifting and Load Control
Engine cranes are designed with safety in mind, incorporating features such as overload protection valves, controlled lowering systems and stable base frames.
Mobile wheel systems and rotating components allow operators to position loads accurately, reducing the risk of accidents and improving handling efficiency.
Applications of Engine Cranes
Engine cranes are used for removing engines, lifting transmissions, positioning heavy components and supporting vehicle rebuild and repair tasks.
They are suitable for use across passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles and heavier workshop applications.
