Lite Aluminum Adjustable Thrifty Cranes

The lightweight Thrifty Aluminum 1- and 2-ton adjustable-height gantry crane is one of our most popular product lines weighing in as little as 165 pounds. It offers the greatest clear span of any Wallace gantry crane, and the aluminum design makes it an ideal combination of high lifting and reduced weight. The Thrifty comes in adjustable heights and is easily assembled and disassembled for convenient portability.

Corrosion-resistant Wallace Thrifty aluminum gantry cranes have a wide variety of indoor-outdoor, commercial and industrial applications where quick assembly and heavy lifting are required, where there is limited space, or when you need an economical way to lift and move heavy loads inside your facility and traditional cranes just aren’t suitable. They are ideal for HVAC environments, refrigerated areas, and other controlled environments.

Because our cranes are lightweight and easy to transport, assemble, and disassemble, many customers use them for HVAC installation and repair, automotive repair shops, shipyards, scrapyards, construction, warehousing, manufacturing and plant facilities, and municipal maintenance including subways, buses, and building facilities. Other applications include hospitals, universities, airports, and the military.
