Advantages

Compact Size & Maneuverability 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.

Multi-Directional Movement

360° rotating boom and articulating jib allow precise positioning in complex layouts. Can lift loads around obstacles or into hard-to-reach areas, reducing the need for manual repositioning.

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.

A crawler spider crane is a versatile piece of heavy lifting equipment that combines the functionality of spider like design and crawler tracks. The crawler tracks allow it to move seamlessly over rough, uneven, or soft grounds, providing excellent stability and traction. The spider-like configuration of multiple retractable legs allows it to work on irregular surfaces and tight spaces. The legs can be balanced independently which enhances the stability of the legs during operation. Crawler spider cranes are used in various industries, including construction, shipbuilding, and industrial maintenance. They are able to perform complex lifting operations which include hoisting heavy machinery in tight and narrow industrial facilities or working on steep slopes. Thus, they are indispensable for challenging projects.

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.
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.
Regularly inspect the hydraulic system for leaks, and check the hydraulic fluid level and quality. Lubricate moving parts, such as joints and pivots, to reduce wear. Inspect the legs, outriggers, and arm for any signs of damage or deformation. Check the electrical and control systems for proper operation. Periodically test the safety devices, such as limit switches and overload protection, to ensure they are functioning correctly.
