Narrow-Legged and Wide-Legged Configurations

V-Master cranes are available with two wheelbase arrangements:

• Narrow-Legged Base (32 in.): Designed for applications with restricted passageways, narrow aisles, or limited floor space.
• Wide-Legged Base (54 in.): Provides additional space between the crane legs to accommodate wider loads or equipment configurations.

The appropriate wheelbase should be selected based on load dimensions, access requirements, and the manufacturer’s operating specifications.

Hydraulic Lifting Operation

The hydraulic lifting system supports controlled raising and lowering of industrial loads. This makes the crane suitable for maintenance and positioning tasks where careful load movement is important.

Industrial Construction and Mobility

The V-Master features durable construction and wheels and casters designed for industrial material handling applications. Operators should confirm that the floor surface, travel route, and operating conditions are suitable for the selected crane and load.

Technical Specifications

Industrial buyers should evaluate lifting capacity, boom reach, maximum lift height, wheelbase dimensions, and operating clearance before selecting a portable floor crane.

Additional boom reach and lifting height configurations may be available depending on the selected model and options. Confirm current specifications and approved lifting capacities with ATI before ordering.

Narrow-Legged vs Wide-Legged V-Master Floor Cranes

Choosing the correct wheelbase configuration is important for both workspace access and load positioning.

Narrow-Legged V-Master Floor Crane

The 32-inch wheelbase configuration is suitable for facilities where passageway width and maneuvering space are major considerations. It may be useful for maintenance areas, compact production spaces, and locations with restricted access.

Wide-Legged V-Master Floor Crane

The 54-inch wheelbase configuration provides a wider space between the crane legs, which may help accommodate larger equipment or loads that require the crane to straddle a particular work area.

Before choosing either configuration, evaluate the required clearance, load dimensions, center of gravity, boom reach, and applicable lifting capacity.

Versatility Across Maintenance and Production Tasks

A single portable crane may support multiple suitable applications, including component positioning, maintenance, and assembly, provided that the load and operating conditions remain within the crane’s approved limits.

How to Choose the Right Mobile Hydraulic Floor Crane

Selecting a portable hydraulic floor crane requires more than matching the crane’s rated capacity to the load weight.

Consider the following factors before requesting a quote.

1. Load Weight and Center of Gravity

Determine the total weight of the load, including any lifting attachments. Evaluate the center of gravity and ensure the proposed lifting arrangement is appropriate.

2. Required Lifting Height

Measure the vertical distance needed to raise, position, or remove the load. Confirm that the selected crane configuration provides sufficient hook height.

3. Boom Reach

Determine the horizontal distance required between the crane and the lifting point. Available capacity may vary with boom position, so review the manufacturer’s approved load ratings.

4. Available Floor Space

Measure doorways, aisles, equipment clearances, and the space required for crane positioning. Choose between the narrow-legged and wide-legged configurations based on these requirements.

5. Floor and Operating Conditions

Verify that the floor is suitable for the crane, load, and intended movement. Consider surface conditions, slopes, obstructions, and any restrictions identified by the manufacturer.

6. Frequency of Use

Evaluate how often the crane will be used, whether it must be relocated between work areas, and whether optional configurations would improve the intended operation.
