Compact Power for Safe, Efficient Lifting – JL250 Hydraulic Mini-Crane

When it comes to modern material handling, businesses demand equipment that combines strength, precision, and safety in a compact design. The Just Lift JL250 Hydraulic Mini-Crane is purpose-built to meet these needs. With a maximum lifting capacity of 250 kg, a versatile 270° rotation system, and an ergonomic structure, it is one of the most reliable counterbalance floor cranes on the market.

Designed for warehouses, workshops, logistics hubs, assembly lines, automotive services, and manufacturing facilities, the JL250 Hydraulic Mini-Crane offers the perfect balance of power, maneuverability, and safety. Whether you’re lifting machine parts, handling heavy components, or streamlining repetitive logistics tasks, this mini-crane delivers the flexibility to work in both wide-open spaces and narrow aisles where traditional lifting solutions may not fit.

Compact, Ergonomic, and Powerful

The JL250 Hydraulic Mini-Crane is engineered with operator convenience in mind. Its compact dimensions (1840 mm length and 780 mm width) allow it to maneuver effortlessly even in confined aisles, while the hydraulic folding system ensures that lifting and handling operations are smooth, safe, and controlled.

One of its standout features is the steel turntable ball bearing, enabling a fluid 270° rotation. Operators can lock the crane in 45° intervals, giving them exceptional flexibility to position and lift loads precisely without unnecessary repositioning of the entire unit. This design enhances workflow efficiency while reducing operator fatigue.

Hydraulic Precision with Electric Tiller Driving

Unlike conventional manual lifters, the JL250 Hydraulic Mini-Crane is fitted with an electric tiller driving system, allowing operators to maneuver the crane with ease and minimal effort. The hydraulic lifting mechanism combined with arm movements controlled by wired control ensures that loads are lifted and positioned with accuracy, even in challenging work environments.

The hydraulic design also includes an anti-tipping system as standard, guaranteeing stability and safety during lifting operations. This makes the JL250 Hydraulic Mini-Crane particularly valuable in industries where strict compliance with safety standards is essential.

Lifting Capacities and Extensions

The JL250 isn’t just powerful—it’s adaptable. Depending on the extension step of the arm, the lifting capacities are as follows:

• 250 kg – First step (maximum rated capacity)

• 160 kg – Second step

• 130 kg – Third step (manual additional extension)

This flexibility makes the JL250 suitable for handling a variety of loads, from smaller machine parts to medium-sized industrial components.

Additionally, optional extensions can be fitted to extend the crane’s reach, making it even more versatile for jobs that require additional lifting range.

Certified Chains for Versatile Handling

To further optimize lifting operations, Just Lift offers certified lifting chains compatible with the JL250 Hydraulic Mini-Crane. These chains are adjustable up to 1.5 m in length and come in both 2-arm and 4-arm options. Operators can choose GKN or BKG end hooks, depending on the specific load type and handling requirements.

This flexibility ensures that the JL250 can adapt to a wide variety of applications across industries.
