Industry	Use Case
Metal Fabrication	Lifting steel sheets, welded assemblies, and CNC-machined parts. A 5-ton capacity offers the right balance of strength and precision for regular fabrication tasks without oversizing.
Warehousing & Logistics	Loading and unloading pallets, machinery, or bulky goods. Ideal for streamlining warehouse operations and reducing manual handling risks.
Automotive	Handling engine blocks, gearboxes, and assembly jigs. 5 tons offers a safe, reliable lift for mid-sized components common in auto workshops.
Manufacturing	Supporting tooling changes, material transfers, and production flow. A versatile capacity that adapts to many stages of the process.
Maintenance Workshops	Lifting motors, pumps, and HVAC units during service or replacement. The 5-ton range is compact enough for smaller workshops, with plenty of lifting power.
Construction Yards	Moving formwork, rebar bundles, or site equipment. Portable 5-ton gantry cranes offer excellent mobility and load control for on-site lifting.
