Shrusti Portable Crane is an engineered local and flexible lifting system for temporary or flexible lifting at locations without permanent equipment. It is best suited to operations that relocate lifting support between occasional tasks. The final configuration is not selected from a fixed SKU; it is defined around the actual load, operating route, duty cycle and site interface. During the engineering review, Shrusti confirms load weight and centre of gravity, required reach and lift height, travel or relocation need, floor condition and available space, then develops the arrangement, controls, guarding and installation scope around the approved application. Options such as boom reach and lift height, hydraulic or electric lifting unit, fixed base, wheels or portable structure can be incorporated where technically appropriate. Final capacity, dimensions, power and performance parameters are issued through the quotation and approved drawing package.

Buying guide
Start with the heaviest load, its dimensions and the required movement or coverage for the Portable Crane.
Confirm the site interface: travel or relocation need, floor condition and available space and available power or structure.
Review operating frequency, operator workflow and safety-zone requirements before selecting the drive and controls.
Compare against Floor Mounted Crane, Workshop Crane where the mounting, duty or coverage requirement may favour a different arrangement.
Use the quotation and approved drawing as the final technical basis; do not procure civil or structural work from preliminary dimensions.

FAQs
Questions to resolve before quotation.
How is the Portable Crane sized?
The Portable Crane is sized from the actual load, required movement or coverage, duty cycle and site interface. Final capacity and dimensions are confirmed after Shrusti reviews load weight and centre of gravity, required reach and lift height, travel or relocation need, floor condition and available space.
Is a site survey required for the Portable Crane?
Recommended. A survey or engineer review is used to verify dimensions, support conditions, access, power, operating clearances and installation constraints before the final quotation.
What technical information is needed to quote the Portable Crane?
Share load weight and centre of gravity, required reach and lift height, travel or relocation need, floor condition and available space, pickup and placement points, cycle frequency. Layouts, photographs and existing drawings help the engineering team produce a more accurate initial proposal.
Can the Portable Crane be customised?
Yes. The scope can be configured around boom reach and lift height, hydraulic or electric lifting unit, fixed base, wheels or portable structure, counterweight and stabilisers, hook, sling or purpose-built fixture, subject to engineering review and the approved drawing.
What safety provisions apply to the Portable Crane?
Safety provisions are selected for the application and may include guarding, access control, limits, emergency controls, restraints or structural checks. The final list is stated in the technical offer and approved scope.
Does Shrusti handle installation and support for the Portable Crane?
Yes. The quotation can include installation, testing, commissioning, operator handover, AMC and spares support where these services are required for the project.
What is a Portable Crane used for?
Shrusti Portable Crane is an engineered system used for temporary or flexible lifting at locations without permanent equipment. Its capacity, dimensions, drive, controls and installation interface are selected from the published engineering range and confirmed in the technical offer.
Is the Portable Crane a standard product?
Shrusti Portable Crane is quote-led and engineered to order. The final specification is based on load, route, duty cycle, site structure, access and safety requirements rather than a fixed online configuration.
How do I request a Portable Crane?
Use Request Quote or Book Site Survey and share the load, dimensions, movement path, operating frequency and site photographs. Shrusti will convert those inputs into a technical proposal and approved configuration.
