Depending on the manufacturer, the price of mini cranes and their characteristics can vary greatly. The device resembles a car in its design. The welded frame is made of steel.

The device is installed on the basis of a wheeled or tracked chassis. The device is made so that it takes up little space, but does not lose its lifting capacity.
