Effortless Elevation with Electric Floor Cranes for High Volume Lifting Operations
Avcon’s floor cranes, available in both fully electric and semi-electric variations, are designed for lifting bulky non-palletised loads. They are compact, also available in a counterbalanced design, and customised to suit versatile industry needs.
About Floor Cranes
Floor cranes are lifting and material handling machines equipped with a hook and lifting mechanism, designed to lift heavy loads from the ground and move them to desired locations. They are commonly used in industries for tasks such as replacing machine dies, lifting engines, or moving bulky materials safely. Their primary purpose is to provide a flexible, efficient, and safe solution for handling heavy items within workshops, warehouses, and factories.
Avcon’s heavy duty floor cranes stand out due to:
- Electric motorised operation eliminates operator fatigue and significantly boosts productivity during lifting and material handling tasks.
- Innovative counterweight system eliminates leg interference, allowing smooth, unobstructed movement and safer load handling.
- Customisable design options, including motorised and extendable booms, provide versatility for a wide range of industrial applications.
- Durable, ergonomic, and technology-driven construction ensures long-lasting performance and makes Avcon floor cranes ideal for modern material handling operations.
Types Of Floor Crane
Compact Fully Electric Floor Crane
Designed for easy maneuverability in tight spaces, this floor crane features fully electric operation for lifting, lowering, boom extension, and retraction. It is suitable for precise handling of the load, as its compact size enables it to work efficiently in small or congested job sites with zero emissions and low maintenance.
Counter Balanced Fully Electric Crane
This type of crane uses counterbalance weight to stabilise the load when one needs to lift long or heavy items with the boom extended. The fully electric operation allows for smooth lifting, lowering, and boom operations with a load capacity up to 1500 kg and lifts heights up to 3000 mm. The counterbalanced system provides improved safety and stability; hence, it is suitable for heavier handling and extended reach tasks.
Fully Electric Floor Crane
This type of floor crane comes with electric powered lifting, lowering, and boom functions, minimizing operator effort and allowing better precision. These cranes entail models that come with different boom types and different lifting capabilities. They provide zero emissions and quieter operation compared to hydraulic or manual types. They are efficient and suitable for indoor industrial use that calls for clean and energy-efficient equipment.
Semi Electric Floor Crane
Combining electric lifting and lowering capabilities with manual movement. This hybrid operation reduces operator strain while retaining some mechanical simplicity and cost advantages. They are appropriate for applications where a mix of electric power and manual handling is preferred for flexibility and cost efficiency.

How do Avcon Floor Cranes Work?
- Structural Base and Frame:
The crane has a sturdy base or chassis with wheels enabling mobility. The vertical column (mast) supports the main horizontal arm or boom. This frame must withstand axial, bending, and torsion loads during operation, typically made from strong steel for durability and stability. - Lifting Mechanism:
The lifting is powered either hydraulically or fully electrically. In hydraulic floor cranes, an electric motor drives a hydraulic pump that pressurizes fluid, which flows into a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder’s piston extends, lifting the boom and attached load. Fully electric cranes use an electric motor connected to a hoist drum or a chain/belt system for raising or lowering the hook. - Boom Extension and Movement:
The boom can often extend or retract to adjust reach. This is controlled by additional hydraulic cylinders or electric actuators. Movement may be manual or powered, allowing precise placement of loads. The boom and load are stabilized with counterbalance weights or support arms to prevent tipping. - Controls and Safety:
Operator controls regulate lifting, lowering, boom extension, and crane movement, usually via electric push buttons or hydraulic levers. Safety features such as overload protection sensors and braking systems prevent accidents. Bearings and slewing mechanisms ensure smooth rotation or pivoting where applicable.
Applications of the Floor Crane
- Production lines and assembly plants use Avcon floor cranes to streamline manufacturing processes by efficiently moving components through various assembly stages.
