Cheap and simple and perfect for the job
Brilliant little crane and ideal for diy enthusiasts who don’t wanna spend too much. The instructions are difficult to read but apart from that the whole package is great.

I like it. Does exactly what I needed at the right price.
This is decent value. Well made (ignore folk complaining the holes are not aligned, they are if you relax the nuts and then tighten). Instructions are laughable, refer to the spare parts diagram on the back of the leaflet and you’ll see exactly where everything goes. Yes, there is the odd light scratch (in my case I think from transit) but the paint is thick enough and seems good quality. It comes in two boxes, the long one of which was rather trashed on delivery but all was still inside. Once you get your head around that parts diagram it this is easy to assemble. I’ve not pushed it hard - my fly press only weighs around 150kg, but it lifted this with ease. Was also reasonably easy to move about once the weight is borne, which in my cramped workshop was a boon. The castors are metal and durable. It folds up nicely. As others have mentioned, a little standardisation of bolt and nut sizes wouldn’t have hurt at all, but really at this price if it does what you expect don’t complain. You only assemble it once. I think mine is a keeper so long as I have room. Something useful maybe once every couple of years, but when it is needed…

Instructions poor
Appears heavy duty. Instructions very basic Pity they couldn't standardise all the different lengths of bolts and just have the longer length.

For the price, it's great!
Great value bit of kit. Ended up costing the same as renting one for a couple of days, so buying made far more sense. A lot of reviews mention poor instructions or holes not lining up - that’s user error. The manual has a clear exploded diagram showing which bolts go where. Not sure on a bolt size? Just measure it. And if holes don’t match, it’s because you’ve already tightened things down too early. As with any metal frame, loosely fit everything first, then tighten once it’s together. The kit itself works well, packs down neatly, and is surprisingly easy to carry. Only thing worth noting is the legs don’t lock when folded, so a bungee cord helps keep them in place. The finish on the welds isn’t perfect, but at this price you can’t expect premium - and it does the job without issue. Worth noting, the delivery came in two parcels on two separate days.

would recommend this good quality.
Not used to lift anything ....yet. Chinese made and distributed from UK. Instructions are very poor and miniature - so will need magnification to read. DONT rush into assembly as you'll make a mistake as as lot of bolts very similar in size. takes a bout 1.5 hours on your own and can be done by one person. with simple tools. also handy to have the purchase page on amazon open as the castors can be an easy mistake to make as are the short castor bolts (obvious when you look at it) - but if you rush you'll use the wrong castors in the wrong place or wrong length bolts.....so my advice is take your time. only small mechanical competence required to assemble. good solid product and has 8t jacking force. Well coated and everything required arrived ok and delivery was super quick - thanks to seller DHL delivery. overall quality is very good solid piece and well made castors for carrying weight.

Watch out for build quality
Assembly was reasonably straight forward even though the instructions are just a drawing. The load carrying beam is designed to slide in and out of a heavy duty square tube (see picture). That tube had major welding on the inside along its length - so the load carrying beam couldn't slide. I decided to fix that problem rather than send the unit back. With much grinding eventually the beam could slide - although it can still catch. Overall this unit works, it is a cheaper unit for a reason. The legs go vertical for transport purposes - there is no lock. I recommend you secure them upright with a strap as they can otherwise drop - they are heavy and could cause damage if they fall unexpectedly.
