Exploring Platform Basket Canada’s Top Mini Crane Models

At Platform Basket Canada, we believe the combination of efficiency, portability, and performance is what makes a mini crane go from good to great. After all, a great mini crane should offer the flexibility of working indoors, on urban construction sites, and in sensitive environments without causing unnecessary delays, hold-ups, or other issues.

That’s why our Italian-engineered compact marvels are packed with features that guarantee high performance, no matter the task you throw at them. Let’s explore the unique capabilities of our leading models.

1. MCR30: The Entry-Level Performance Champ

Simple and efficient, our MCR30 mini crane offers superior performance in a compact avatar. Contractors love it for the many benefits it offers, which include:

• An impressive lifting capacity of 3Tm with a pick-and-carry mode that supports weight of up to 250 kg
• A working height of 9m with outreach that extends up to 7m laterally, so you can access difficult areas with ease 
• Compact and lightweight build that allows you to use our machine in indoor settings or constrained sites 
• Dual stabilization mechanism that maintains perfect balance even on challenging terrain 
• Dual power options that give you the flexibility to choose between a petrol-powered lift or a fully electric one 
• The option to fit additional accessories, such as glass installation systems, to enhance versatility

Our MCR30 model is perfect for tasks such as material handling, restoration projects, and precise equipment positioning in generally inaccessible spots.

2. MCR40: Strength & Reach Exemplified

If your project hinges on heft and flexibility, our MCR40 mini crane has you covered. With this advanced aerial work platform by your side, you get access to useful features like:

• A high 4Tm capacity along with the ability to lift up to 2100 kg of weight without affecting the machine’s stability 
• A 9m working height combined with 7m of outreach to get to tricky spots
• Pick-and-carry load of up to 250 kg for added convenience 
• Dual stabilization and a narrow build that can pass through doorways with ease
• Plenty of useful accessories to choose from

This particular model is suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty tasks such as HVAC installation, industrial lifts, or structural work in tight environments.

3. PCR10 & PCR12: Expert Material Handling Systems

Both these mini cranes are powerhouses that have been designed to streamline logistics and material handling without stirring up stabilization issues.

• PCR10: Available in gasoline and fully electric models, the PCR10 features an impressive 1.1T load capacity. Stability is guaranteed due to its low center of gravity. This versatile machine can also be used in narrow (to fit through doorways) and wide (to handle bulk) positions. It also comes with a remote control, ensuring precision and safety every time it's used. 
• PCR12:  Featuring a multifunctional crane with an even more impressive capacity of 1.2Tm, this model can reach a height of 5m and can extend sideways up to 4m. Stable as a rock, you can control its operation with a remote to ensure worker safety during critical tasks. Despite its massive load capacity, it’s still capable of fitting through standard doors, making it perfect for renovation projects.

Both these models can be accessorized. While the PCR10 can be enhanced with non-marking rubber tracks, you can equip the PCR12 with glass systems and hydraulic winches.

Why Our Mini Cranes Stand Out

With our mini cranes, you can safely carry out a number of tasks, including but not limited to landscaping, industrial maintenance, and warehouse logistics. You also get to enjoy:

• Smooth and easy maneuverability due to its compact size
• Electric-powered options that help you meet sustainability goals
• Safety-first design that’s geared to protect operators and workers alike
• Versatile accessory compatibility so you can enhance performance with valuable first-party add-ons

Conclusion

From working indoors with the MCR30 to transporting tools and loads with the PCR10, there’s nothing Platform Basket Canada’s range of mini cranes can’t do for you. You can safely use them to install glass facades or reposition rooftop HVAC units. Choose our mean machines if you want capability without compromise.
