1k & 2k LB Cap. P
Model

EC&MW, Inc. first came up with the concept back in the mid-1990s of preforming height adjustments from both the base and the I beam. The whole concept really hasn’t caught the eye of a lot of people, but it really does fill a unique niche. First, this gives the gantry crane better versatility by providing more than the standard 5 holes for height positioning. Our smaller model only provides 29” of height adjustment, but there are advantages to that. Second, the base height is only 34” high, so when we designed this portable gantry crane we made it “A Truly Portable Gantry Crane”.  As you can see below, the entire crane EASILY fits into a Dodge Caravan.  Third, the smallest model in its lowest position is only 63” under the beam and 92” in its highest position.   Add a 4” I Beam and your top of beam height is 96”, which is ceiling height for many types of rooms.  The hole spacing’s were again by design. Base hole spacing’s are different than I beam spacing. Bases are spaced at 5 1/8”,  I beam are 4 ¾”. Why this design?  To avoid obstacle’s in the ceilings, sprinklers, halon fire suppression systems, detectors etc.  One more reason was for setting up your gantry crane on two different floor levels.  Fourth, smaller beam length cranes can be assembled by just one person.  Try doing that with another manufactures A Frame gantry cranes. So, think outside the box and give this style crane some serious consideration.
