Buy a used Hoeflon crane: find a dealer near you
Looking for a used Hoeflon crane? Alongside our new mini cranes, a used Hoeflon also regularly becomes available. Inventory runs through our selected dealers and service partners, and varies by region and over time. Most often it’s a used Hoeflon C10e or C6e, but other models are also regularly available used.
With a used crane, it’s smart to look at the maintenance history and the condition of the machine. Our dealers know the cranes they offer and can tell you exactly where a machine comes from and what maintenance has been done. You can also turn to them for parts, service and inspections.

Used Hoeflon cranes through our dealers
Hoeflon sells its mini cranes worldwide through its own dealer network. Some of these dealers sell used Hoeflon cranes in addition to new mini cranes. There is no fixed overview of all used cranes: inventory changes constantly, and cranes can be sold before they even appear online. Interested in a used Hoeflon, such as the C10e? Contact the dealer in your region. They can tell you what’s available at that moment and what’s expected soon.
Be sure to tell them what you want to use the crane for. Based on the lifting height, the capacity and the conditions you work in, the dealer will help you figure out which model suits you best. Sometimes that’s the model you had in mind; sometimes another model turns out to be a better fit. If the model you want isn’t available at the time, the dealer will help you find a comparable alternative.
Why buy a used Hoeflon through a dealer?
At a Hoeflon dealer, you buy a used machine from someone who knows the cranes and works with them every day. These are the 5 benefits of buying through an official dealer:
✓ Advice on the right choice A dealer helps you think through capacity, reach and version, and looks at what suits your work rather than what happens to be available.
✓ Service close by Maintenance, repairs and periodic inspections are handled through the same network.
✓ Parts from the manufacturer Hoeflon builds its machines itself, so original parts are always available through your dealer.
✓ Expand with accessories The machine can be expanded with attachments such as jibs and vacuum glass lifters, even after purchase.
✓ Confidence in the machine The dealer knows the crane’s history and can back up what maintenance has been done.
What used Hoeflon cranes are there?
Hoeflon offers a wide range of compact electric cranes. Lifting capacity ranges from 550 to 9,000 kg. At our dealers you’ll find both new and used mini cranes: from the lightweight C1e to the powerful C30e.
Used Hoeflon C1e
The Hoeflon C1e lifts 750 kg to a lifting height of 3.3 m. Weighing 970 kg, the C1e is the lightest of the Hoeflon cranes. It fits through a standard doorway and even into an elevator, and you can easily transport it in a van or on a trailer. A used C1e is an interesting option for indoor installation work, for example in offices, hospitals and homes.
Used Hoeflon C4e
The Hoeflon C4e lifts 2,350 kg to a lifting height of 14.6 m. This mini crane is maneuverable enough for work on upper floors and roofs, and at 2,150 kg it fits on a trailer, which keeps transport between sites simple. A used C4e is ideal for assembly and construction work at height, for example on steel structures, facades and roofing.
Used Hoeflon C6e
The Hoeflon C6e lifts 3,000 kg to a lifting height of 16 m, which is more than its own weight of 2,850 kg. That makes it versatile for glass installation, facade work and steel construction, including downtown projects where space is limited. A used C6e is widely used by glaziers and installation companies.
Used Hoeflon C10e
The Hoeflon C10e lifts 4,000 kg to a lifting height of 22 m and features unlimited slewing and hydraulically extendable outriggers. That combination of capacity, reach and compact dimensions makes it suitable for a wide range of work, from prefabricated elements and structural steel components to technical installations. The C10e is the most sought-after model on the used market. Ask your dealer which version and generation is available, as this determines the controls and the parts.
Used Hoeflon C30e
The Hoeflon C30e lifts 9,000 kg to a lifting height of 22 m, giving it the largest capacity in the lineup. As a pick-and-carry crane, it moves loads while driving, and with its articulating outriggers it can bridge height differences of up to 1.6 m on uneven ground. A used C30e is the model for heavy industrial lifting.
Used Hoeflon C30eL
The Hoeflon C30eL is designed for reach rather than maximum load: 7,000 kg and a reach of up to 30.5 m. You can reach farther from a single position, so you need to reposition the crane less often. This is especially interesting when you need to go higher or farther than with the C30e, for example for glazing at great heights or lifting over buildings.
What does a dealer check on a used Hoeflon?
When you buy a used Hoeflon through a dealer, you don’t have to assess the machine yourself. Before a traded-in crane goes back up for sale, the dealer checks these points, among others:
✓ Operating hours and year of manufacture: the operating hours are recorded and compared with the year of manufacture, together with the usage profile: former rental unit or years with a single company.
✓ Version and generation: which generation it is and what that means for the controls and the parts.
✓ Maintenance history and documentation: a service record, a valid inspection and CE documentation come with the machine.
✓ Battery condition: the capacity, the number of charge cycles and whether the battery has ever been replaced. On an electric machine, this is the biggest cost down the road.
✓ Tracks, outriggers and hydraulics: these are assessed for wear, as are the boom and the play in the slewing ring.
✓ Software and controls: whether the firmware is up to date and the remote control does what it should.
✓ Safety systems: whether the load limiter and other safety features work properly.
✓ Included options: what comes with the machine in terms of jib, Multitool, vacuum glass lifter or a second remote control is agreed on before you sign.
✓ Cosmetic condition: paint and housing, insofar as this affects the value.
