About Spider Cranes from MCM Group+
Spider cranes for sale in South Africa
MCM Group stocks 3 spider crane models for sale across South Africa, ready for collection at our branches in Cape Town, George, Bloemfontein, Midrand or for delivery to any of the nine provinces. Every spider crane we supply is selected and specified for tough local working conditions, and backed by in-country parts and service so you are never waiting on an overseas supplier when you need to keep working.
Spider cranes are used for compact lifting in confined or sensitive indoor and outdoor spaces. Whether you are a contractor, farmer, plant-hire operator or municipality, our team will help you match the right machine to your application and budget rather than over- or under-speccing the job.
How to choose the right spider crane
Start with the work the machine will do most often. Matching engine power, operating weight and lift or dig capacity to your typical tasks keeps running costs down and avoids paying for capability you will rarely use. If you run attachments, check the hydraulic flow and coupler type up front, and think about transport — how you will move the spider crane between sites affects which size class makes sense.
Compare the full specification of each model on its product page, then weigh up availability of parts, ease of servicing and resale value. A slightly higher purchase price often pays back through lower downtime and better support, which is exactly where buying a spider crane with a local warranty and a national parts network has the edge over a grey import.

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.
In South Africa, spider cranes are most frequently used for glazing work on multi-storey buildings — lifting large glass panels and curtain wall elements that cannot be manually carried to upper floors. Their compact body fits into standard lifts and through emergency exit doorways, allowing the crane to be transported to the installation floor and set up without external access equipment.
Heritage restoration projects present another common application. When heavy stone elements, ornamental metalwork or structural timbers must be lifted in buildings where scaffold would be intrusive or impractical, a spider crane's low ground pressure and small footprint allow it to operate on existing floors without damage.
Outrigger span determines how much a spider crane can lift safely. Most models have variable outrigger geometry — the legs can be set at different extension positions to maximise stability within the available floor space. Always consult the load chart for the specific outrigger configuration being used on the lift.
MCM Group supplies spider cranes with full operator training, rigging certification support and after-sales service. Our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein can assist with model selection based on your maximum lift weight, required working radius and site access constraints. Finance options include operating lease and instalment sale.
