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 hydraulically operated outriggers can be extended to create a wide and solid 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 spider crawler crane suitable for a wide range of applications, including bridge construction, wind turbine installation, and large - scale industrial construction. The crane's lifting capacity is substantial, and it is equipped with a telescopic boom that can be extended to reach great heights and distances. The advanced hydraulic system ensures smooth and precise operation of the boom, allowing for accurate positioning of the load. The operator's cabin is designed for comfort and safety, with ergonomic controls and a clear view of the work area. It is also equipped with air - conditioning and noise - reduction features to enhance the operator's working experience.

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.
