Spider Crane Operation Guide

The tracked spider crane is a very flexible and efficient lifting equipment widely used in construction, maintenance and industrial fields, especially in narrow or difficult to access spaces. To ensure the safe and effective use of the spider crane, the following is a detailed operation guide:

Get familiar with the operator’s manual

Before operating a tracked spider crane, it is critical to thoroughly read and understand the operator’s manual provided by the manufacturer. Each spider crane has its own unique characteristics and operating requirements, including load limits, maintenance procedures and safety warnings. The operator’s manual is the first resource for understanding this critical information.

Perform Equipment Inspection

It is essential to perform a thorough equipment inspection before each use of the mobile spider crane. Inspection items include but are not limited to:

Check that all hydraulic systems and electrical connections are intact.

Ensure that the wire rope, hook and other lifting accessories are not worn or damaged.

Confirm that all safety devices, such as overload protection and emergency stop switches, are in working condition.

Check that the legs can be firmly placed and properly locked.

Safety equipment

Operators must wear appropriate personal protective equipment when operating mobile spider cranes, including hard hats, protective glasses, work gloves and non-slip shoes. These equipment can provide necessary protection during operation.

Site preparation

Make sure the work site is suitable for electric spider crane operations:

The site needs to be flat and solid, without obstacles to ensure the stability of the spider crane.

Adjust the spider crane’s legs according to environmental conditions and ground conditions to achieve optimal stability.

Avoid operating in extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rain or extreme temperatures.

Precise operation

When operating the electric spider crane, the hoisted objects should be controlled slowly and precisely, avoiding any sudden movements or shocks, which may cause load instability or equipment damage. Using a remote control for operation can increase the safety distance and reduce the risk of direct injury.

Monitor the load

Always monitor the status of the load and the crane. Make sure the load is always within the operator’s sight and is safely hung. During the load movement, a signal person is equipped to assist and guide the hoisting operation.

Post-inspection and maintenance

After completing the operation, perform post-inspection and maintenance on the spider crane, including:

Clean the equipment to ensure that there is no dust and debris clogging the mechanical parts.

Inspect all parts for any signs of wear or damage.

Regularly replace hydraulic oil and other consumables and perform maintenance according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Following these guidelines can help ensure the safe and effective operation of the electric spider crane while extending the life of the equipment. Proper operation and maintenance not only protects the safety of the operator and those around him.
