A spider crane is a type of mechanical crane with a telerobotic arm designed for carrying out difficult lifting and other operations, typically in tight spaces which are impossible for regular cranes to access. Spider cranes are typically used in the construction, nuclear and petrochemical industries.

The working principle of the spider crane is quite simple. It has a telescopic arm and a base plate with four telescopic legs. The arm is moved by the operator by what is known as a ‘stabilization system’. This system works like a car steering wheel; the operator turns the wheel and the arm will move in the direction desired by the operator. The stabilisation system includes sensors and brakes which help it maintain the desired position and ensure safety.

The spider crane can be used in a variety of applications, including lifting and transporting large objects, working in tight spaces, setting up scaffolding and other structures, and even carrying out work on high-rise buildings. The crane can be used to lift weights up to around 50 tons, depending on the crane model. Spider cranes are also capable of setting masts for TV and radio towers, overhangs for oil rigs, and even solar panels.

Spider cranes can be used in a variety of industries, including construction, nuclear and petrochemical. In construction, it can be used for lifting and setting up large heavy objects like air conditioning units, steel girders, and elevator shafts. In nuclear and petrochemical industries, the crane can be used for maintenance and repairs on pipelines, refineries, and other such structures.

Another major use of the spider crane is in production manufacturing. It can be used to assemble components in tight spaces, such as in aircraft and automobile assembly plants. The arm can be used to drop a component at a specific location and can even be used to align parts with a high degree of accuracy.

Overall, the spider crane is an incredibly versatile and useful tool. Its portability and capacity for precision makes it suitable for many different industries and tasks. It allows operators to safely and efficiently carry out difficult and delicate operations in areas which are otherwise not accessible to regular cranes.
