In many crane and hoist installations, precise manual positioning of a trolley or crane along the runway is just as important as the lift itself. Whether you’re spotting a load over an exact position, moving an unloaded crane to a new work area, or simply manoeuvring in a space where powered travel isn’t practical, a reliable towing arm gives your operators full control without the need for electrical intervention. It’s a simple tool that makes a real difference to workshop efficiency and operator safety.

This heavy-duty towing arm is built from galvanised square hollow section steel throughout, giving it the rigidity needed to handle the lateral forces involved in crane travel. The T-shaped cross bar provides a comfortable and ergonomic push point for operators, while the U-bolt clamping system secures the cross arm firmly to the vertical post at the correct working height. The solid bolt-down base plate ensures the arm can be securely mounted to the crane end carriage or trolley frame, preventing any unwanted movement during towing operations.

At Hoist Zone, we believe that every part of your crane system should be built to the same standard — and the towing arm is no exception. The hot-dip galvanised finish ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance in workshop and industrial environments, while the robust construction means this arm will handle years of daily use without bending, loosening, or letting you down when you need it most.
