Advantages

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.

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 spider bar crane developed by Henan Yixing Hoisting Machinery Co., Ltd. is a specialized piece of lifting equipment that combines the unique advantages of spider cranes with the functionality of bar - type structures. This crane is designed to handle specific lifting tasks that require a combination of high - reach and precise load - handling capabilities. The spider - like leg structure of the crane provides excellent stability, with hydraulically adjustable outriggers that can be extended to create a wide and secure base on various terrains. This stability is crucial when lifting heavy loads, especially at extended reaches. The bar - type structure of the crane, typically featuring a long, rigid boom or bar, allows for the transportation and placement of long, slender objects with ease. Whether it's lifting steel beams, pipes, or large - format construction panels, the spider bar crane can handle these items with precision. The crane's lifting mechanism is powered by a high - performance engine and hydraulic system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The control system is designed for ease of use, with intuitive controls that allow operators to maneuver the crane and position the load accurately. Safety is at the forefront of the spider bar crane's design. It is equipped with advanced safety features, such as load moment indicators, anti - sway systems, and emergency stop functions, to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of the equipment and personnel. The crane's compact size and maneuverability also make it suitable for working in tight spaces, such as urban construction sites or industrial facilities with limited room. Henan Yixing's commitment to innovation and quality is evident in the spider bar crane, which offers a reliable and efficient solution for challenging lifting tasks that require a combination of stability, reach, and precision.

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.
