The best crane to lift a water\/wastewater pump is a davit crane<\/strong> because they\u2019re durable and user-friendly, allowing for safe and efficient removal and installation of the equipment. Davit cranes can be modified and customized to specific water\/wastewater plant operations when necessary, making them the best choice for lifting, lowering, and moving pumps compared to other water\/wastewater pump hoists or temporary substitutes.<\/p>\n

As the preferred choice among wastewater treatment facilities, Thern\u2019s specialized pump hoists feature portable or stationary davit cranes configured with either hand or power winches. Manual winches offer an effective lifting solution when no power source is available. When there is power available, Thern offers AC, DC, pneumatic, or hydraulic operation to swiftly lift pumps for maintenance or repair. Portable davit cranes are easily transported and quickly set up at lift stations; however, if your site requires a longer reach, a stationary davit crane is an ideal choice.
