Thern Portable Lifting Davit Crane Commander 500 Series up to 300 kg WLL

Description

The Thern Commander 500 Series Portable Lifting Davit Crane (5PT5) delivers reliable lifting performance in a compact, lightweight system. Designed to offer the same versatility and functionality as larger industrial davit cranes, the Commander 500 provides an efficient lifting solution for maintenance, material handling, and light industrial applications where portability and flexibility are essential.

With a maximum working load limit (WLL) of 300 kg, this portable crane is well suited for lifting pumps, equipment, tools, and machinery in environments such as water and wastewater treatment plants, marine docks, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites. The davit crane�s 360-degree rotation capability allows operators to move loads smoothly and position them accurately in confined spaces or across different work areas.

A key feature of the Commander 500 system is its telescoping boom with adjustable operating angles, allowing users to adjust the crane�s reach and lifting position to suit specific tasks. This flexibility makes it easy to lift loads over obstacles such as tanks, railings, or machinery while maintaining safe control of the load.

The Commander 500 is designed for maximum portability and convenience. Quick-release hardware and stainless steel pins allow the crane to be assembled and dismantled quickly without tools, making it easy to transport between work locations or store when not in use. The integrated quick-disconnect wire rope feature allows operators to move the crane to another location while keeping the rope attached to the load, improving efficiency during maintenance tasks.

Constructed from heavy-duty welded structural steel pipe and tubing, the crane provides excellent strength and minimal structural deflection. The durable frame meets or exceeds ASTM standards for structural integrity, ensuring dependable performance in demanding environments. A corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish and stainless steel fasteners protect the crane from harsh weather and industrial conditions. For environments requiring additional corrosion resistance, galvanised, epoxy-coated, or stainless steel finishes are available.

The Commander 500 also supports a wide range of winch configurations, allowing operators to select the best lifting method for their application. Manual spur gear or worm gear hand winches are suitable for occasional lifts, while electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic powered winch options can be specified for frequent lifting tasks or longer lifting distances.

Multiple base mounting options provide further versatility. The crane can be installed using pedestal, flush-mount, wall-mount, or mobile wheel-base systems, allowing facilities to position lifting points where they are most needed. Optional base extensions can increase crane height by 381 mm without affecting the rated load capacity, providing additional clearance when lifting over obstacles.

Compact, durable, and highly adaptable, the Thern Commander 500 Series Portable Davit Crane is an ideal lifting solution for facilities that require reliable light-duty lifting with the flexibility of a portable crane system.
