The Loops 1 Tonne Folding Engine Crane is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to lift and move heavy engines and components in both workshop and mobile settings. Its key benefit is its space-saving folding design and stable, maneuverable heavy-duty castors, making it easy to store and use. A minor caveat is that it requires some self-assembly upon delivery. This versatile crane offers a lifting capacity of up to 1000kg, features a convenient side pump access, and is built for durability and ease of transport.

The engine crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 1000kg (1 Tonne) at a jib extension of 830mm.
No, the engine crane is delivered in a knock-down form and requires minimal self-assembly.
The folded dimensions are optimized for storage. The height of the legs when folded is 1440mm. Specific folded length and width would depend on the configuration but are designed to be compact.
Yes, this crane can be used for lifting and moving other heavy components or machinery as long as the load does not exceed its 1000kg capacity and is properly secured.
The crane features a convenient side pump access with a removable handle for easier operation and storage.
The maximum lift height at Jib Position 1 is 1820mm.
No, lifting chains or straps are not included with the engine crane. These must be sourced separately and must be rated for the intended load.
Check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect the pump mechanism for blockages or damage. If issues persist, the hydraulic system may require professional attention.
Ensure the crane is positioned on a flat, level, and solid surface. Verify that the legs are fully extended and locked in place. Check that the load is centered and within the crane's capacity and reach limits.
Inspect the folding joints for debris, rust, or bent components. Clean the joints and apply a suitable lubricant. Gently work the mechanism back and forth to free it up. Do not force the mechanism if it remains jammed.
Check the castors for debris, hair, or other obstructions. Clean them thoroughly. Ensure the locking mechanisms are not engaged if movement is desired. Lubricate the castor bearings if necessary.
Setup: The engine crane is delivered in a knock-down form and requires minimal self-assembly. Ensure all bolts and connections are securely fastened according to the provided instructions before first use. Familiarize yourself with the operation of the side pump and the locking mechanisms for the boom and legs.
Compatibility: This crane is generally compatible with most standard automotive engines and components within its 1000kg weight limit. Ensure that the lifting point on the engine or component is appropriate and can be safely secured using appropriate chains or straps (not included).
Care: Keep the crane clean and free from dirt and debris, especially around the hydraulic components and castors. Regularly inspect hydraulic hoses for leaks and the structural integrity of the frame and boom for any signs of damage. Lubricate moving parts as needed. Store the crane in a dry environment when not in use, preferably folded to prevent accidental damage and conserve space. Always follow the load limit guidelines to avoid overloading.
