For the size of unit it's a steal and a deal! But don't think you'll be able to go above the stated capacity just this one time! Trust me stay within and preferably under capacity. I'm repairing mine now due to overloading. The top hinges on jib turret will give very quickly. I drop the load or have any kind of accident, but I watched them slowly bend sideways as I was trying to set the load down. So spend an extra hundred or so and get a higher capacity lift, you'll appreciate it much more.
