  • Base Orange
  • Frame & winches Jade White
  • Boom Orange

A hand-cranked display crane. Two ratchet winches hoist and luff; the cab turns on a turntable. Sold built.

  • Two hand winches: one hoists the hook, one luffs the boom up and down. Each has its own ratchet pawl, so the load holds the instant you let go of the crank.
  • The cab slews a full turn on a turntable over a weighted base, so the boom can point anywhere around it.
  • The boom luffs from level up to 34° on a built-in stop. Reach is about 302 mm ahead of the pivot.
  • Overall about 430 × 158 × 360 mm with the boom at 30°: 17 × 6 × 14 in.
  • A hand-cranked desk/display mechanical model. It lifts light things, but it's not a lifting tool. Carry it by its base.
  • Don't lift, push or force the boom by its head.
  • Pick your own colours: the base, the frame and winches, and the boom each come in any filament we stock. Photos show it in orange and white.
  • Printed PLA, about 1 kg across 5 plates, with steel hardware (an M5 rod through the boom pivot, screws, heat-set inserts) and a weighted ballast base.
  • Contains small parts. Not for children under 14. A desk/display model, not a kids' toy.
  • Made to order, hand-assembled and tested here before it ships. Shipped fully built.
  • Build your own: the design files and build guide are free, CC BY-NC 4.0, at flossypurse.studio/shop/flossy-crane/flossy-crane-v1.0.zip
