Our specialist spider crane combines cutting-edge technology with power, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

Capable of lifting up to 4-tonnes, it’s powered by a hybrid engine that utilises both HVO renewable fuel and electricity, offering a powerful, low-emission alternative to conventional diesel cranes, ensuring a cleaner and more sustainable lifting solution for a variety of applications.

A spider crane, also known as a mini crane or compact crane, is a highly versatile and innovative lifting machine designed to excel in challenging environments. Its unique design features a compact, lightweight structure combined with extendable outriggers, allowing it to operate efficiently in tight and confined spaces where traditional cranes cannot.

Our spider crane’s advanced articulation and maneuverability enable it to navigate through narrow doorways and operate in indoor settings with precision.

Advantages of Mobile Spider Cranes

Low-Emission Operation

Our spider crane is powered by a hybrid engine that uses both HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) renewable fuel and electricity. This combination significantly reduces emissions compared to traditional diesel-powered cranes. By choosing our hybrid spider crane, you not only comply with stringent environmental regulations but also contribute to a greener planet.

Enhanced Efficiency and Versatility

The hybrid engine enhances fuel efficiency and reduces operational costs. The electric mode allows for quiet, emissions-free operation during indoor use, making it ideal for urban and residential areas. Whether you need high power for outdoor tasks or silent, clean energy for indoor applications, our spider crane adapts to your needs.

Superior Manoeuvrability

The spider crane’s compact design and flexible outriggers ensure stability and precision, even in the most challenging environments. Its ability to navigate tight spaces and uneven terrain makes it a versatile tool for various lifting tasks, from construction to maintenance.

Our spider crane is equipped with extendable outriggers, allowing for flexible positioning to accommodate various site constraints. This versatility ensures stability in challenging environments. Additionally, the crane can be fitted with fly jib attachments, offering extra reach or an offset position to access particularly hard-to-reach areas.

Its telescopic lifting capabilities, combined with a hydraulically luffing fly jib, provide precise control and enhanced maneuverability when handling loads. This ensures that even in complex lifting scenarios, the crane performs with efficiency and accuracy.

When operating indoors, the spider crane runs completely on an emissions-free electric engine, although this does require a direct connection to a three-phase power supply. Its compact size and lightweight design allow it to access areas that larger cranes cannot reach, such as indoor construction sites, narrow alleyways, or places with limited ground bearing capacity.
