Spider cranes are products designed for accessing restricted or limited work spaces. They have similar elements to traditional cranes, except they are compact and can be used on challenging surfaces and spaces. They can be operated manually or electrically.
Compact Body: One of the most notable features of a spider crane is its compact body. Their body width is usually about 590 to 750 mm. This body width allows them to fit through a standard single door. The compact size allows operation in tight spaces, making it ideal for urban buildings and indoor construction environments.
Crawler Tracks: These mobile spider cranes also come with crawler tracks. The purpose of the crawlers is to allow the crane to enter tight areas. This element varies from design to brand.
Motor: Motors help the product run. Most electric spider cranes on the market are equipped with electric motors. The role of the electric motor is to ensure that the product operates seamlessly indoors without causing any gas emissions. They are also responsible for the crane’s low carbon footprint functionality. Note that some models are manually operated.
Weight: These electric spider cranes are also generally lightweight. This feature allows them to be transported to the service site. They also allow product to be delivered to rooftops and buildings where work can be done.
Legs: These mobile spider cranes come with four legs. The purpose of the outriggers is to stabilize the compact body of the crane. The trigger can lift the same weight as a conventional crane. They also allow the product to run evenly on sites with obstacles and be lifted with the highest possible stability.
Winch: The spider crane also comes with a winch. Depending on the brand, the winch uses a durable disc mount that allows for continuous use of the product.
