A 01M5 Flex Lifting counterbalanced swivel crane has been operating in the LCS factory for several weeks. It is Michelangelo Frascati, production manager, who tells us for which tasks the Flex Lifting crane was chosen, a portable workshop crane with a capacity of 500 kg and hand lifting pump.
“The lifting crane is used to assemble and disassemble molding equipment, as well as for maintenance activities on the machines. It is the first Flex Lifting cantilever mini crane we have purchased and I must say that we are very satisfied. We chose this model with hand pump because it is agile in tight spaces and because we use it a couple of times a week, precisely for mold changes. Probably, if we had needed to use it on a daily basis, we would have chosen an electric powered lifting solution. In any case, it is an essential tool for our business “.
When choosing the product, did you take into account the guarantees that Flex Lifting products offer with regards to work safety?
“The safety of workers comes first – continues Frascati-. We serve very important brands and we must guarantee high quality and safety standards , we cannot afford to underestimate any aspect of our work process. ”
“The 01M5 mobile floor crane model does not require certifications and a license for those who use it – explains Marco Marabini, from Flex Lifting -, it complies with all safety standards and only the swivel hook must be periodically checked. For this reason it is one of our top selling models that combines excellent performance with ease of use. ”
