Not every lift gives you the luxury of space, time, or easy access.
The SPX1280 mini crane is built for those situations.

With up to 8 tonnes of lifting capacity and a working height of over 26 metres, it brings serious capability into projects where precision really matters.

Compact, powerful, and reliable when it counts.

Lifting the equipment that does the lifting 👀

One of our 532s was recently in the workshop, handling a lorry crane for a king post bush change.

Those worn, greasy components you can see in thesse photos should actually look like the new part in hand. Over time they wear down, and it is something that can often be missed on lorry crane LOLER inspections.

Jobs like this need steady control and the right setup to keep everything safe and supported throughout the process. It is a good example of how our cranes support not just site work, but maintenance and repairs behind the scenes too.

Keeping equipment working properly, so it can get back out on site doing what it does best.

Tight indoor space, heavy components, and no room for error. This is exactly the kind of lift where precision matters most.

Our Jekko JF545 mini crane was recently used to install a new overhead crane and rail beams inside a factory for Lifting Systems Ltd.

Working indoors requires careful planning and controlled lifting at every stage. With the right setup, everything came together smoothly.

Another job completed safely, efficiently, and exactly as planned 💪

UK Construction Week is here 🏗️🚧
There’s a lot of talk this week about the future of construction; innovation, sustainability, and new ways of building.

But on site, the reality often comes down to the same things: working safely, solving problems, and getting the job done properly.

Lifting is a big part of that — especially when space is tight or conditions aren’t straightforward.

🏗️ Lifting doesn’t always go to plan…

Tight access
Awkward loads
Constantly changing site conditions

Sound familiar?

Modern construction sites are more complex than ever, and lifting is often where those challenges really show up.
That’s why choosing the right equipment makes all the difference.

Mini cranes are designed to handle exactly these situations, helping teams work safely, efficiently, and in spaces where larger cranes simply can’t operate.

In our latest article, we break down the most common lifting challenges on UK construction sites — and how to overcome them 👇
