Spider Hoist – A Lifting Solution for Tight Spaces

A spider crane, also known as a mini crawler crane or compact crane, is a small, crawler-type lifting machine featuring four or more outriggers that unfold like a spider‘s legs. Despite its compact size, it delivers impressive lifting capacity and precise control, making it the ideal choice for operations in restricted or hard-to-reach areas.

Why Choose a Spider Crane?

1. Compact Size, Unlimited Access
With a body width as narrow as 590mm to 750mm, spider cranes can pass through standard doorways, travel in service elevators, and navigate narrow corridors where traditional cranes simply cannot go. Whether it‘s a basement, rooftop, indoor facility, or congested urban site, our spider cranes get the job done.

2. Powerful Lifting Performance
Don’t let the small size fool you. Spider cranes offer lifting capacities ranging from 1.2 tons up to 14 tons, with fully extendable telescopic booms reaching heights of over 16 meters. Thanks to hydraulically extendable outriggers, they maintain excellent stability even on uneven terrain.

3. Precision Control & Wireless Operation
Equipped with wireless radio remote control, spider cranes allow operators to position loads with millimetre-level accuracy from a safe distance. The micro-speed mode ensures delicate handling of fragile materials such as glass panels, curtain walls, and artwork.

4. Flexible Power Options
Choose from electric, diesel, or hybrid power to suit your job site requirements. Electric models offer zero emissions and low noise—perfect for indoor or sensitive environments.

5. Fast Setup & Easy Transport
Lightweight and compact, spider cranes can be transported on standard trailers or pick-up trucks. Setup takes only minutes with automatic folding outriggers and self-leveling systems.

Key Safety Features

Moment Limiter System (Safe Load Indicator): Prevents overloading with visual and audible warnings

Working Range Restriction: Programmable limits for height, radius, and slew angle

Interlock Systems: Prevents operation unless outriggers are properly deployed

Tilt Alarm: Alerts operators when the crane exceeds safe inclination angles

Industries & Applications
Spider cranes are widely used in construction, glass installation, curtain wall erection, steel structure assembly, plant maintenance, equipment installation, rooftop work, and many other scenarios where space is limited.
