Hi,

I have some old cranes with medium claws. They are old united cranes. I want
to change them out to larger claws. United claws are hard to come by I am wondering
can i just substitute out any claw and coil from another crane? If not what do i need
to look for to determine which coil/claw would match up?
 
I have no idea but if it were me, I'd try to make sure they run from the same voltage source and have similar current draw.
 
I'm also not sure. I've swapped claws on other machines before and always tried to use the original coil for the new claw, but sometimes it just doesn't fit the body. I'm pretty sure these are just 50v coils, but you'd have to verify that. If you can find an alternate-make claw with the same coil-body size as yours, and reuse your coil, then that would probably work...
