What can the MCM SC40 Spider Crane lift and where is it typically used?
The MCM SC40 has a 4-ton lifting capacity and is designed for lifting in confined spaces where conventional mobile cranes cannot reach. Common applications include glass panel and curtain-wall installation on multi-storey buildings, steel erection in industrial and warehouse environments, machinery placement and factory relocation, rooftop mechanical and electrical equipment installation, and maintenance lifting in enclosed structures. Its 1000mm body fits through standard doorways, and the crawler rubber tracks allow operation on sensitive flooring such as epoxy, tiles and raised floors without causing damage.
What is the maximum boom reach and lift height of the MCM SC40?
The MCM SC40 Spider Crane has a boom extension range of 3.8m to 13m, with a maximum ground lift height of 15m. Hook lifting speed is up to 8 metres per minute across four speed settings, and optional remote-control operation allows precise placement in restricted or hazardous areas. For specific load capacities at varying working radii and outrigger configurations, refer to the official SC40 load chart in the downloadable spec sheet on this page.
Why choose the MCM SC40 spider crane instead of a conventional mobile crane?
The MCM SC40 fits through standard doorways, operates on sensitive flooring, and works in confined and indoor spaces where mobile cranes cannot access. Its compact 1000mm body, crawler rubber tracks and low ground pressure make it ideal for glazing, indoor construction, rooftop access and restricted-access lifting, while still delivering a 4-ton capacity and 15m lift height.
