Designed with the following in mind –
Portable
· The whole crane can be disassembled to two main pieces (Arm and Base), the other parts (Winch, Pully and hook system) can be carried in separately and easily stored.
· The arm is designed to fold out using a pivoting position and can be folded away into a ‘resting position’ for easy storage and transport.
· Retractable Legs allow for stability, but most of all do not get in the way when transporting the equipment around.
Safety
· The entire system is manually operated, using no hydraulics or electrical parts; this ensures that there is no danger in using it near a disaster zone that has potentially explosive or flammable leaked material nearby.
· The winching system is UL approved for the movement and transport of humans, which could be essential when deployed in earthquake relief areas.
· Locking arm means no danger of it becoming unstable.
Ease and Speed of Use
· With only two main parts to put together, it can be easily and more importantly quickly put together.
· The winching system is easy to set up and requires virtually no effort to pull a tonnes worth of rubble.
· The entire system could be operated by one person.
· Easy to maintain as there is no extra generator or electrical systems to worry about.
