What can the MCM SC50 Spider Crane lift and where is it typically used?
The MCM SC50 has a 5-ton maximum lifting capacity and a 17m maximum lift height, designed for confined spaces where conventional mobile cranes cannot reach. Common applications include glass and curtain-wall installation, steel erection, machinery placement, rooftop lifting and indoor maintenance. Its rubber tracks protect sensitive flooring and the 1500mm body fits through restricted access points.
What is the maximum boom reach and lift height of the MCM SC50?
The MCM SC50 has a 5-section telescopic boom extending from 4.5m to 17m, a maximum ground lift height of 17m and a maximum working radius of 15m. The boom luffs from 0 to 78 degrees, and the crane offers 360-degree continuous rotation. For exact load capacities at each radius, refer to the SC50 load chart available from MCM Group.
Why choose the MCM SC50 spider crane instead of a conventional mobile crane?
The MCM SC50 fits through standard access points, operates on sensitive flooring with its rubber tracks, and sets up on hydraulic outriggers in confined or indoor spaces where mobile cranes cannot work. It still delivers a 5-ton capacity and 17m lift height, with 360-degree rotation and optional remote control for precise, safe placement.
