Portable Crane, Engine Hoist, Floor Crane and Engine Crane Products

Ruger Industries designs and manufactures highly maneuverable portable crane products, also known as floor crane, engine hoist, engine crane or shop crane devices. These portable crane products provide many ergonomic benefits compared to traditional lift trucks. Ruger makes both full power floor crane as well as manual portable crane items. We have the ability (and desire) to custom engineer lifting products to meet your specific needs.

Whether you call it an engine hoist, engine crane, floor crane, portable crane, or shop crane we will build it to last under heavy industrial use: truly “Built Like a Tank.”

As highly manueverable material handling equipment, our engine hoist products are often seen as safer, smaller and less expensive alternatives to tow motor-type lift trucks. Portable crane products can help eliminate many back-breaking activities while easily navigating standard door openings, narrow aisles and elevators.
