  • The Elevall EK180 is a folding, portable lifting crane built to raise loads of up to 180 kg, including the cabin, to heights of up to 60 metres. At around 105 kg, the unit itself folds down for easy transport and quick set-up on site, making it a practical choice whenever a load won't fit through a standard lift or stairwell, or is too large, heavy or awkward to raise through a building's façade by conventional means. Typical loads include awnings, glass, aluminium, wood and pergolas, metal tubes, doors, appliances, kitchen worktops, pianos, tanks, construction debris, furniture and steel beams, which makes the EK180 a familiar sight on construction, renovation and installation sites where materials need moving to upper floors without a dedicated hoist or crane already in place.

    Operating the EK180 calls for a minimum level of training, and it must be used by a qualified person, so it's best suited to trade and rental use rather than untrained domestic operators. Glass and other sensitive materials should never be lifted loose; use an approved lifting accessory such as clamps, or a purpose-built cabin, cage or high-resistance material loader instead. Built-in safety features, including cable guards, a contact stop connector (limit switch), anti-vibration feet, an emergency stop and sensitive control, support safer operation at height. When choosing or specifying the EK180, check that the combined weight of the load and any lifting cabin or accessory stays within its 180 kg maximum working load limit.

FAQs Elevall EK180 Foldable Davit Crane

What is the Elevall EK180 foldable davit crane used for, and what can it lift?

The Elevall EK180 is a portable folding davit crane used to raise bulky or awkward loads to upper floors when access by lift, stairs or through the building is impractical. It has a maximum working load of 180 kg, including the lifting cabin or accessory, and can lift to a maximum height of 60 metres.

Typical loads include glass, awnings, doors, kitchen worktops, appliances, furniture and construction materials. It is intended for professional construction, renovation and installation work and must be operated by a qualified person. Loads must be properly secured with a suitable approved lifting accessory, and glass or other sensitive materials must never be lifted loose.

Where can the Elevall EK180 be used to lift materials to upper floors?

The Elevall EK180 foldable davit crane can be used on construction, renovation and installation projects where materials need to be lifted to upper floors but are too large, heavy or awkward for a lift, stairwell or internal access route. It raises loads externally alongside the building, making it useful when access through the property is restricted or no dedicated site hoist or crane is available.

Its folding, portable design suits temporary lifting work at different locations, and its maximum lifting height of 60 metres supports use on multi-storey projects.

When should you choose the Elevall EK180 instead of a fixed site hoist or crane?

Choose the Elevall EK180 when the job requires temporary upper-floor lifting and a fixed site hoist or crane is unavailable or unnecessary. Unlike permanently installed equipment, the EK180 folds for transport and can be moved between construction, renovation and installation projects.

It is suitable only when the complete suspended load, including any cabin or lifting accessory, is no more than 180 kg and the required lifting height does not exceed 60 metres. If either limit is exceeded, a higher-capacity or different lifting system is required.

Why must lifting accessories be included in the Elevall EK180’s 180 kg load calculation?

The Elevall EK180’s 180 kg maximum working load is the total suspended weight: the material being lifted plus the cabin, cage, clamp or loader. The lifting accessory therefore reduces the payload available for the material.

Calculate the maximum material weight as 180 kg minus the accessory weight. For example, a 30 kg accessory leaves a maximum 150 kg payload, provided the accessory is suitable for that load.

Who is the Elevall EK180 foldable davit crane designed for, and do operators need training?

The Elevall EK180 is designed for qualified trade and rental professionals carrying out construction, renovation or installation work. Operators require training to use the crane safely, so it is not suitable for untrained domestic or DIY use.

How should the Elevall EK180 be used safely in a UK workplace, and do LOLER and PUWER apply?

The Elevall EK180 must be operated by a qualified, trained person, with every load secured using a suitable lifting accessory and the total suspended weight kept within the 180 kg maximum working load. Glass and other sensitive materials must never be lifted loose; use appropriate clamps or a purpose-built cabin, cage or high-resistance material loader.

For UK workplace use, the employer or equipment user must assess the applicable duties under LOLER and PUWER. These duties cover matters such as planning and supervising lifting operations, competent use, maintenance and thorough examination where required. LOLER and PUWER govern how lifting equipment is managed and used; they are not product certifications for the EK180.
