Why Electric Pick & Carry Cranes Are Changing the Way We Lift – Introducing the E20 Pick & Carry Crane

Introducing the E20 Pick & Carry Crane

In today’s construction, glazing, manufacturing, and industrial maintenance sectors, access restrictions, safety requirements, and environmental considerations are becoming more challenging than ever. Traditional lifting equipment often struggles to operate efficiently in confined spaces, sensitive environments, and indoor applications.

This is where electric pick and carry cranes are transforming the industry.

At Zone Group, we continue to invest in innovative lifting solutions that allow our clients to complete complex projects safer, faster, and with greater precision. One of the standout machines in our fleet is the E20 Pick and Carry Crane.

What Is a Pick & Carry Crane?

Unlike conventional cranes that require outriggers and large setup areas, a pick and carry crane is designed to lift a load, transport it, and place it into position without the need for extensive setup.

This allows operators to move materials through restricted work areas, manufacturing facilities, shopping centres, commercial buildings, warehouses, hospitals, airports, and other locations where space is limited and efficiency is critical.

The E20 Pick and Carry Crane takes this capability to the next level by combining compact dimensions with fully electric operation.

Fully Electric, Zero Emissions

As more projects move towards sustainable construction practices, electric lifting equipment is becoming an essential requirement rather than a luxury.

The E20 delivers:

Because it is battery-powered, the crane can safely operate inside buildings, shopping centres, manufacturing facilities, data centres, hospitals, and other sensitive environments where diesel equipment may not be suitable.

Designed for Tight Access Lifting

One of the biggest challenges in modern construction is access.

Projects are increasingly being completed in confined spaces where larger cranes simply cannot reach.

The E20’s compact design allows it to navigate through tight doorways, narrow corridors, congested construction sites, and restricted access areas while still delivering impressive lifting performance. Its exceptional manoeuvrability and precision controls make it ideal for lifting applications where millimetre accuracy is required.

Perfect for Glass Installation

Glazing contractors are continually faced with larger, heavier, and more complex glass panels.

The E20 Pick and Carry Crane has become a valuable solution for:

When combined with vacuum lifting attachments such as the Oktopus range, the crane provides a safe and efficient method of transporting and positioning glass panels with precision and control.

More Than Just Glass

While the E20 excels in glazing applications, its versatility extends far beyond glass installation.

The crane is regularly used for:

Its ability to lift, carry, and place loads within a single operation significantly reduces labour requirements and project timeframes.

Safety Through Innovation

Safety remains a priority on every project.

The E20 incorporates advanced control systems, precision lifting capabilities, and operator-friendly technology designed to improve lifting safety and reduce manual handling risks.

Features such as intuitive operator controls, advanced diagnostics, removable ballast systems, and fleet monitoring technology help maximise productivity while maintaining safe lifting operations.

The Future of Compact Lifting

As construction sites continue to become more complex and environmentally conscious, electric pick and carry cranes are quickly becoming an essential tool across multiple industries.

The E20 Pick and Carry Crane represents the future of compact lifting technology by combining:

For contractors looking to overcome access challenges while maintaining productivity, electric pick and carry cranes provide a smarter way to lift.
