Venturo Van Cranes
Van manufacturers have been boosting production as demand increases for Euro style, high roof, cargo vans. With this in mind, Venturo has developed specialized crane applications that are the first of its kind in the industry. The Venturo Van Cranes allow safe and productive material handling without the need for a forklift or a heavy, expensive lift gate.
VC1000 Work Van Crane
This application is currently available for the Ford Transit Mid/High Roof & Mercedes Sprinter Standard/High Roof.
The Venturo Van crane utilizes a unique dual floor and ceiling mounted telescopic mast that integrates with the van structure itself to ensure maximum structural integrity. The horizontally articulated boom uses roller bearings that allow the operator to guide the load easily in and out of the van. A unique rotation control feature utilizes a hand lever that operates a cable controlled multi-position rotation lock. This rotation lock enables the operator to lock the crane in various positions. This key feature adds an additional safeguard for the operator as the load is being loaded and unloaded.
ESV1000 Enclosed Service Body Crane
The ESV1000 now offers you a lifting solution for the jobsite with your enclosed service body. With an extremely small footprint, the crane can stow nicely against the inside wall on either the curb-side or street-side of the service body when not in use. With the telescopic boom, the ESV1000 can fit in any of the enclosed service bodies without the need for any add-ons or specialty mounting kits. The 12V DC winch wires directly to the battery and includes a 12 FT pendant controller with up/down functions. The winch is situated in a fixed housing to the side of the crane. This will allow the boom to swing with zero winch interference, giving the crane a wide swing radius.
VC750FB Work Van Crane
The VC750FB van crane includes a 2 ft, 6 in boom length with a maximum capacity of 750 lbs. for the Euro-style work van side-door. With a maximum capacity of 750 lbs and a reach up to 2 1/2 FT, the VC750FB is perfect for Ford Transit side-door applications. This crane takes up little space and the boom folds down allowing more cargo space. Fold-down boom offers a secure storage position and easy access to the cargo area of the van.
SpitzLift Van Cranes
The SpitzLift 3-foot fold down crane is an ideal lifting solution for vans and enclosed service vehicles. Customers love these features:
- when not in use, the crane stores neatly out of the way to maximize workflow (takes up less than 12″ of cargo space)
- user-friendly design allows for simple set up to the operational and fold-down positions
- adds less than 100 lbs. of payload to the vehicle
- robust 650 lb. load capacity
Their standard 3-foot crane is also a great option should you not need the fold-down feature. Every SpitzLift is load tested, comes with a load test certification, and meets ASME & OSHA standards.
