Frequently Asked Questions About Spider Cranes
What is a spider crane?
A spider crane is a compact, lightweight crane with extendable outrigger legs that resemble a spider. They are designed to access confined spaces, work indoors, and lift heavy loads in areas where conventional cranes cannot operate.
What can a spider crane lift?
Spider cranes can lift loads ranging from 1 to 10 tonnes depending on the model, with reach heights of up to 17 metres. They are used for glass installation, steel erection, machinery placement, and indoor construction work.
Why use a spider crane instead of a regular crane?
Spider cranes can fit through standard doorways, operate on sensitive flooring, and work in confined spaces where mobile cranes cannot access. Their compact size and low ground pressure make them ideal for indoor and restricted-access lifting.
