Mr. Lucas runs a medium-sized metal component repair and mold processing workshop covering 180 square meters. Before introducing CSEC-700, his team relied on manual chain hoists and small forklifts to handle 200~700kg heavy workpieces, including engine housings, stamping molds and steel casting parts. Narrow workshop passages, low ceiling height and scattered work stations brought long-standing troubles: manual lifting took 2–3 workers to cooperate, labor cost stayed high, and frequent load sway caused potential collision risks for finished workpieces. Large overhead cranes were impossible to install due to limited space, while small forklifts could not reach deep inside processing equipment. After comparing multiple lifting equipment brands online, Mr. Lucas contacted our sales team Stella, and finally selected CSEC-700 model with 700kg maximum load capacity, matching his daily lifting demand perfectly.
The machine was delivered FOB Qingdao as agreed, finished production within 25 working days after receiving the deposit, and smoothly arrived at São Paulo port without any damage to the body and accessories. Within one hour after unpacking, Mr. Lucas's operators mastered all operating steps without complicated training, thanks to the ergonomic integrated control handle with stepless speed regulation for moving, boom extension and lifting.
In his exclusive feedback, Mr. Lucas gave detailed comments on actual usage: "This CATHAYLIFT CSEC-700 completely solved all our lifting headaches. Its retracted dimension is slim enough to shuttle between our CNC lathes and welding tables, something no forklift could do before. The graded load design is impressive: 400kg safe load when the first boom stretches out, and 200kg for full two-stage extension, which avoids overloading accidents we worried about before. The electromagnetic dead-man brake is my favorite safety design-once you let go of the handle, the load locks instantly, greatly reducing hidden dangers for my workers. The battery lasts nearly 8 hours under intermittent use, fully covering our whole-day production shift without mid-shift charging."
He also mentioned obvious operational improvement: the time to lift and transfer one heavy mold dropped from 12 minutes to only 3 minutes, cutting labor input from three operators to one single worker. In two months of continuous use, there has been zero breakdown, and the PU steel-core wheels run smoothly on concrete floors with low noise and no abrasion marks.
Our company's one-year free spare parts warranty also won Mr. Lucas's trust. He stated he will recommend CATHAYLIFT electric shop cranes to local machinery repair factories and plans to place an additional order for two rotary CSEC-900R models by the end of this year to expand his workshop processing capacity.
As a flagship light-duty lifting solution, CSEC-700 targets small and medium maintenance workshops, auto repair shops and mold factories worldwide. This successful cooperation with Brazilian client Lucas further proves CATHAYLIFT's product adaptability to Latin America's compact workshop environment, and reflects our consistent strength in combining flexible mobility, multi-layer safety protection and cost-effective full-electric driving design. Moving forward, Cathay Machinery will keep optimizing mini crane specifications for overseas regional demands, and provide more customized lifting equipment for global industrial clients.
