Spider Crane: Compact and Agile Lifting in Tight Spaces

Resembling a spider in appearance, the spider crane features retractable legs and booms, enabling operation in confined spaces. Ideal for indoor renovations, equipment installation, and bridge maintenance, its small size and flexibility make it a go-to choice for tasks requiring maneuverability in restricted environments where larger cranes cannot operate.

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.

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.

By renting a spider crane, businesses and contractors can avoid the high costs associated with purchasing and maintaining such specialized equipment, while still being able to use its capabilities for short term or specific projects. Rental services often provide a range of spider crane models with different lifting capacities. With their unique 'spider-like' structure featuring multiple retractable legs, spider cranes can easily navigate narrow corridors, indoor construction sites, and uneven terrains. Rental services also provide clients with everything they need for a successful and efficient lifting operation, from delivery, setup, and operator support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do spider cranes ensure stability on uneven terrain?

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.
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.
