Viking Industrial Engine Crane 1 Tonne (PFC101S)

The Viking PFC101S is a high-specification industrial engine crane designed for precision, safety, and versatility in professional workshops. Unlike standard folding cranes, the Viking series features unique folding parallel legs that extend to fit around obstacles like pallets and crates, making it an excellent choice for both automotive repair and general warehouse material handling.

Key Features & Benefits

• Versatile Parallel Leg Design: The legs extend parallel to one another, providing a wide internal clearance (1025mm) to straddle pallets or bulky equipment. For storage, the legs fold upward to minimize the workshop footprint.
• Precision Safety Controls: Features a "dead man's" hand-operated control to prevent accidental lowering. The descent speed is manually controllable, allowing for the millimetre-perfect placement of heavy components.
• Five-Position Extendable Jib: Offers superior flexibility with five locking points. As the jib extends, the lifting capacity is clearly rated for safety:
  • Pos 1 (960mm): 1000kg
  • Pos 2 (1053mm): 900kg
  • Pos 3 (1152mm): 800kg
  • Pos 4 (1250mm): 700kg
  • Pos 5 (1350mm): 600kg
• 200° Rotating Pump: The hydraulic unit and handle can rotate by 200°, allowing the operator to pump the crane from the side—an essential feature when working against walls or inside tight engine bays.
• Non-Marking Floor Protection: Equipped with high-strength nylon and fibreglass wheels that won't mark or damage workshop floors. Rear castors include brakes for stability, and an extra wheel is fitted specifically for easy movement while the unit is folded.
• Industrial Lift Height: Capable of reaching a maximum height of 2300mm (at position 5), providing ample clearance for high-sided vehicle extractions or loading onto raised workbenches.
