The MCM SC50 Spider Crane is a 5-ton capacity compact crane built for lifting in confined spaces where conventional cranes cannot reach across South Africa. With a rubber-tracked chassis, a 5-section telescopic boom and 360° continuous rotation, it delivers serious lifting power in a compact, easily transported package.
Overview
This spider crane combines high-strength manganese-steel boom construction, hydraulic outrigger legs for stable set-up on uneven ground, and optional remote-control operation for precise, safe load placement. The rubber tracks protect sensitive flooring, while the compact 1500mm body fits through tight access points that larger cranes cannot.
Applications in South Africa
Glass and curtain-wall installers use the SC50 for placing heavy panels in restricted-access locations. Steel erectors, factory and machinery installers, and HVAC contractors rely on it for indoor and rooftop lifts. Its compact footprint also suits heritage restoration and confined industrial maintenance work.
