Crane for Mercedes Sprinter

A van crane must be reliable, flexible, and tailored to the daily tasks it is intended for. In this customercase, we supplied and installed a Knap On Crane Hand Hydraulic in a Mercedes Sprinter for a customer who needed a solution capable of reaching both outside the vehicle and deep into the cargo area.

The Mercedes Sprinter is a popular platform for a van-mounted crane, combining a spacious cargo area with a strong vehicle structure, making it ideal for a stable and functional crane installation.

Hand hydraulic crane with manual extension and electric wire hoist

The selected solution is a Knap On Crane Hand Hydraulic, where the jib is raised using a manual hydraulic pump. The crane is equipped with:

Manual extension of 1.5 metres
Maximum lifting capacity of 350 kg
Electric wire hoist
Rear door installation

The combination of manual hydraulic lifting and an electric wire hoist provides a simple and reliable lifting solution. The manual hydraulic system raises the jib, while the wire hoist performs the actual lifting operation.

As a van-mounted crane, this model can rotate through a full 360 degrees, allowing it to reach both outside the vehicle and deep into the cargo area. This provides excellent flexibility when loading and unloading equipment.

Reliable power supply

The electric wire hoist is powered directly by the vehicle’s 12V battery. The system is designed so that it does not drain the battery unnecessarily and does not require the engine to idle while the crane is in operation.

This gives the customer an efficient van crane without unnecessary fuel consumption or additional strain on the vehicle’s electrical system.

Installation in either the side or rear door

In this installation, the crane is mounted in the rear door, but we have also installed cranes in the side door of Mercedes Sprinter vans for other customers.

The ideal mounting position depends on the customer’s workflow, site access, and how the vehicle is used on a daily basis. Regardless of the installation location, the crane is configured to provide the best possible reach, functionality, and safe operation.

Flexible solution with the universal base plate system

The crane is installed using our universal base plate system, providing an additional level of flexibility.

This allows the crane to be removed from the base plate without tools and transferred to:

Another van equipped with a base plate
A trailer
Another work unit prepared with a compatible mounting plate

For companies operating multiple vehicles, this makes it possible to share a single crane across several units, providing a practical and cost-effective lifting solution.
