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.
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.
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.
