- Compact & Maneuverable
ZED SA500
Pros
- Relatively low cost (~₹35k‑₹65k) compared with powered cranes and forklifts, making it a good entry‑level lifting tool.
- Easy to move and position inside workshops or small yards, with a light operating weight (~80 kg).
- Adjustable boom positions allow capacity variation (e.g., ~500 kg at first position, lower at other positions).
