Lightweight, Adjustable, and Portable
The lightweight and corrosion-resistant Thrifty™ Aluminum 1-ton adjustable-height gantry crane is one of our most popular product lines. It offers the greatest clear span (D) of any Wallace gantry crane and the aluminum design makes it an ideal combination of high lifting and reduced weight. This Thrifty comes with adjustable heights (C). It is easily assembled and disassembled for convenient portability.
- The Thrifty is built using our patented pinned-joint design resulting in a longer-lasting, better-fitting, more flexible crane that is quick and easy to assemble and disassemble.
- Strong rectangular posts and frames.
- Gussets for added strength eliminate the need for brace legs which allows for a greater clear span
- The exclusive Wallace I-beam support system aligns off-center loads to avoid distortion of the crane and trolley.
- Casters are equipped with a 4-position swivel lock. When locked 90 degrees with each other, they position the crane more firmly than a brake.
- Adjustable legs permit crane height adjustments in 6″ increments using spring-loaded bolts. You can raise the height of your crane so it goes over materials and equipment, lower it under low ceilings and doorways, or set legs at different heights when floors or terrains are uneven. It’s ideal for truck loading or from a dock to a floor or ground level to a mezzanine.
- Completely portable – many aluminum models can be hand-carried.
- Designed to roll under load.
