INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing a Shop Crane by Gorbel®. The innovative design and solid construction of Shop Cranes will provide a superior quality product. Shop Crane is pre-engineered for powered hoist operation. The hoist weight allowance is 15% of the crane capacity (for example, a crane rated for 1000 pounds, allows for a 1000-pound live load plus 150 pounds for the weight of the hoist). There is also an allowance of 25% of the crane capacity for impact caused by hoist use.
