Thern Portable Lifting Davit Crane Commander 1000 Series up to 540 kg WLL

Description

The Thern Commander 1000 Series Portable Lifting Davit Crane (5PT10) is a powerful and adaptable lifting solution designed for professional industrial environments. Known as a reliable �workhorse� davit crane, the Commander 1000 combines durability, flexibility, and portability to support a wide range of lifting applications where dependable performance is essential.

With a maximum working load limit (WLL) of up to 540 kg, this portable davit crane is ideal for lifting pumps, equipment, machinery components, and maintenance loads in environments such as water and wastewater facilities, manufacturing plants, marine docks, construction sites, and oil and gas operations. The crane is designed to lift, lower, and rotate loads smoothly through a full 360� range, enabling accurate load positioning and safe operation in confined spaces.

A standout feature of the Commander 1000 is its telescoping boom with adjustable operating angles, allowing operators to adapt the crane�s reach and lifting position to suit the task. This flexibility allows loads to be lifted safely over obstacles such as tanks, walls, railings, and machinery while maintaining precise control of the load.

For heavier loads or demanding tasks, the crane can be fitted with an optional roller ball bearing and 12-position rotational lock system. This feature significantly improves load manoeuvrability and stabilisation when positioning heavier equipment during lifting operations.

Designed with portability in mind, the Commander 1000 features quick-release pins and hardware that allow tool-free assembly and disassembly. This enables the crane to be transported easily between work areas or stored compactly when not in use. The integrated quick-disconnect wire rope system also allows operators to relocate the crane while keeping the rope attached to the load, improving efficiency during maintenance and lifting operations.

Constructed from heavy-duty welded structural steel pipe and tubing, the crane offers excellent strength and minimal structural deflection. The durable construction meets or exceeds relevant ASTM standards, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments. A corrosion-resistant powder-coated frame with stainless steel fasteners protects the crane against weather, moisture, and industrial contaminants. For harsher environments, galvanised, epoxy-coated, or stainless steel finishes are available to provide enhanced corrosion protection.

The Commander 1000 supports a wide range of winch configurations, enabling users to tailor the crane to their specific lifting needs. Options include manual spur gear hand winches, worm gear hand winches, and electric powered winches. Electric winch versions can be supplied with a variety of motor types including AC, DC, pneumatic, or hydraulic motors, making the crane suitable for both light-duty and frequent lifting tasks.

To further enhance installation flexibility, the crane supports multiple mounting base options, including pedestal, flush-mount, wall-mount, and mobile wheel base systems. Optional base extensions can increase crane height by 381 mm, providing additional clearance for lifting over equipment or structural obstacles without affecting the crane�s load rating.

With its high lifting capacity, adaptable configuration options, and rugged construction, the Thern Commander 1000 Series Portable Davit Crane provides a dependable and versatile lifting solution for industrial professionals requiring efficient and portable lifting equipment.
