A Lightweight Power Arm in Italy - CATHAYLIFT Supports Bologna Workshop with Smart Lifting Solution

In Bologna, Italy, a professional agricultural machinery repair workshop has been providing maintenance and component replacement services for large farm equipment across the region. However, the team had been struggling with a long-standing challenge: their workspaces are narrow and crowded, making it impossible for conventional overhead cranes or lifting equipment to operate inside. As a result, mechanics had to rely on manual handling or basic pulley systems, which were inefficient, labor-intensive, and potentially dangerous.

In early 2024, the workshop's technical supervisor, Marco, came across CATHAYLIFT's Mini Mobile Slewing Jib Crane while searching online for compact lifting solutions. He was immediately impressed by its sleek design, mobile base, and 360-degree rotating arm. Within just two weeks, the purchase was finalized and the equipment shipped to Italy.

Upon arrival, the crane was assembled and operational within a single day. During its first use-replacing a hydraulic pump on a large combine harvester-the unit performed exceptionally well. The jib arm extended smoothly to the exact position, and the rotation mechanism provided accurate alignment. Its caster wheels and locking brakes ensured complete stability throughout the lifting process.

Marco wrote in his feedback: "We initially thought it was just a small, portable jib crane, but it turned out to be far more professional and reliable than expected. It has truly solved the long-standing lifting problems inside our workshop."

Today, the Mini Mobile Slewing Jib Crane has become an essential tool in their daily operations. From transmission shafts and gearboxes to heavy mold components, it handles every lifting task with ease. Marco now plans to order two more units this year-one for the engine maintenance area and another for the spare parts warehouse-to further enhance overall productivity.
