Comparison between Spider Crane and Truck Crane

In the past few years engaged in crane sales, we have found that many customers will come to know about the spider crane, but they often compare it with the car crane. Next, I’m going to expand on the differences between the two products.

Spider crane

For spider crane products, it is generally used in the condition that the indoor space is small or there is a requirement for the product’s own weight. The specifications of the spider crane products currently on the market are divided into 1t, 3t, 5t, 8t, 10t, 12t. Its lifting height is limited, even the largest 12t product has a lifting height of only 23m. It is a micro-miniature machine, and it can be used together with a hanging basket, a flying arm, etc. during use, and it is also suitable for use within the limited space of the site.

Truck crane

Automobile crane, also known as automobile crane, is a kind of crane installed on ordinary automobile chassis or special automobile chassis, and its driving cab is set separately from the lifting control room. The advantage of this kind of crane is good maneuverability and quick transfer. The disadvantage is that it needs outriggers when working, it cannot be driven under load, and it is not suitable for working on soft or muddy ground.

The truck cranes can be used in workshops, docks, subways, ports, offshore fields, metallurgy, nuclear power and other working conditions. It is suitable for various large-scale projects. Unlike spider cranes, truck cranes can lift dozens or even hundreds of tons, and their lifting heights can also reach tens of meters. However, they are bulky and not suitable for Within the narrow operating range.

Therefore, I hope that when you choose to use a car crane or a spider crane, you should combine your own usage scenarios and purposes, so that you can better judge which product is suitable for you, and the prices of spider cranes and car cranes are quite different. It doesn’t make much sense to compare the two.
