The Penny Hydraulics Swing Lift 500. A new model debuts at the CV show.

The new Swing Lift Foldaway 1000 vehicle mounted crane incorporates hydraulic slew and boom extension for handling of loads up to 1000kg on pick-ups, drop sides, flat beds and box vans. It is ideal for applications in industries where manual handling is no longer an option and where other equipment would be inappropriate, the company said. Its electric winch enables loads to be handled with even greater precision and is especially useful if items need to be lowered below ground, for example in civil engineering applications.

Simple design and robust construction are combined to produce a crane which is easy to install, operate and maintain for low overall cost of ownership. The new sub-frame design is even more compact than the previous model to maximise the available floor space. Robust manufacture ensures lifelong reliability and durability even in the most arduous operating conditions.

The new crane complements the company’s extensive range of vehicle mounted cranes for loads up to 2000kg and platform lifts for loads up to 550kg.
