Advantages

Compact Size in Tight Spaces

Ultra-small footprint (e.g., 1.5m width) and retractable legs enable access to elevators, doorways, or narrow alleys. Ideal for indoor renovations, museum installations, or aircraft maintenance.

Low Ground Pressure & Floor Protection

Rubber-tracked or wheeled bases distribute weight evenly, preventing damage to delicate floors (e.g., marble, wooden decks). Suitable for historic buildings or high-end commercial spaces.

High Lifting Capacity for Its Size

Despite compact dimensions, some models lift up to 10 tons, making them ideal for small-scale heavy lifting in urban construction or industrial maintenance.

The crawler spider crane by Henan Yixing Hoisting Machinery Co., Ltd. combines the best of both crawler and spider crane technologies, offering a versatile and powerful solution for a wide range of lifting applications. The crawler - type tracks provide excellent mobility and traction, allowing the crane to move smoothly over rough, uneven, and soft terrains that would pose challenges for traditional wheeled cranes. Whether it's a muddy construction site, a rocky mountain slope, or a sandy beach, the crawler spider crane can navigate with ease, reaching job sites that were previously inaccessible. The spider - like leg structure of the crane, similar to other spider crane models, offers remarkable stability. The hydraulic outriggers can be extended to create a wide and secure base, ensuring that the crane remains stable even when lifting heavy loads at extreme angles or heights. This combination of mobility and stability makes the crawler spider crane ideal for construction projects in remote areas, infrastructure development, and oil and gas field operations. The crane's lifting mechanism is highly efficient, powered by a robust engine that delivers consistent and reliable performance. It can handle a substantial load capacity, and the telescopic boom allows for precise control over the lifting height and reach. The operator's cabin is designed with comfort and safety in mind. It is equipped with air - conditioning, ergonomic seats, and a comprehensive control panel that provides real - time information about the crane's operations. Additionally, the crane is fitted with advanced safety features, including overload protection, stability control systems, and emergency braking systems. Henan Yixing's crawler spider cranes are built to last, with high - quality components and a durable construction that can withstand years of continuous use in demanding environments. Their reliability, performance, and adaptability make them a preferred choice for industries that require heavy - lifting equipment with enhanced mobility and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes spider cranes suitable for indoor use?

Spider cranes' compact size and multiple retractable legs allow them to navigate through narrow doorways and operate in confined indoor spaces. Their low profile enables them to work under low ceilings. The ability to adjust leg positions provides stability on uneven indoor floors, and their precise control systems ensure safe and accurate lifting operations without causing damage to the interior environment.
Spider cranes have multiple independently adjustable legs. These legs can be extended or retracted to different lengths, allowing the crane to balance itself on uneven surfaces. The outrigger system distributes the crane's weight and the load's weight evenly, increasing stability. Additionally, sensors and control systems monitor the crane's balance in real - time and make adjustments to prevent tipping.
The lifting capacity of spider cranes typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to around 10 tons. Smaller models, often used for indoor tasks or light construction work, may have a capacity of 1 - 3 tons. Larger, more heavy - duty spider cranes designed for outdoor construction and industrial applications can handle loads up to 10 tons or more, depending on the specific model and configuration.
Yes, spider cranes are relatively easy to transport. Their compact size and the ability to retract the legs and arm into a smaller form factor reduce their overall dimensions. Many spider cranes can be disassembled into smaller components for transportation and then quickly reassembled on - site. They can be loaded onto trucks or trailers, making them convenient for moving between different job sites.
