Eliminating the need for manual handling The new Swing Lift Foldaway 1000 from Penny Hydraulics is a compact, robust and reliable vehicle mounted crane for pick-ups, drop sides, flat beds and box vans that can lift a full 1,000kg load at the maximum boom extension of 1.5m. The crane is suitable for a wide range of delivery, service and engineering applications. Like all Penny Hydraulics products, it is designed and manufactured to eliminate the need for manual handling and reduce the risk of injury to operators and damage to vehicles and loads whilst helping employers to comply with Health and Safety regulations. The new Foldaway 1000 incorporates hydraulic slew as standard. This promotes safety by eliminating the need for operators to use physical effort. It provides greater control over the boom and load because all lateral movements are powered smoothly and accurately by the precise hydraulic mechanism. Hydraulic slew also eliminates the risk of the boom and load from moving unexpectedly, even if the vehicle is parked on an incline. Electrical and mechanical slew options are also available. Boom height and extension can be specified manually or hydraulically for added versatility. The boom length is 1.5m when extended and 1.2m when fully retracted. Load lifting and lowering is enabled by a powerful and robust electric winch. A hydraulic winch, driven by the vehicle’s PTO, is available as an option and enables operators to utilise all of the benefits of a fully hydraulic solution.

The standard 9m rope is ideal for most loads and allows items to be handled below ground level. Longer ropes can be supplied to support deep-hole construction, utility and maintenance applications. The Foldaway 1000’s remote control facility and hydraulic slew ensure that operators stand away from the handling area for additional safety when lifting heavy and bulky loads.
