The 3-ton spider crane is a compact, tracked mini crane designed specifically for lifting operations in confined spaces. It perfectly overcomes the limitations of traditional large cranes that cannot access such areas, making it a core piece of equipment for small to medium-sized engineering projects. This small spider crane features a compact and lightweight body, easily navigating narrow doorways, elevators, and basements when folded. Equipped with anti-slip rubber tracks, it moves stably without damaging floors or tiled surfaces, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor conditions.
The equipment features a high-strength telescopic boom, supporting 360° full rotation. With a rated load of 3 tons, it offers stable and precise lifting. It also features a dual-power system (hydraulic and electric) and wireless remote control operation, balancing quiet operation, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency. The entire machine is equipped with multiple safety protection devices, including overload alarms and torque limiting, significantly reducing construction risks. Users can compare and select the 5-ton spider crane to suit their needs for large-tonnage lifting scenarios.
This equipment is widely applicable to curtain wall installation, factory equipment placement, renovation of old buildings, and power maintenance, replacing inefficient manual lifting, significantly shortening construction time and reducing construction costs. As a high-performance, cost-effective lifting device, it is flexible, durable, and has low maintenance costs, making it the preferred choice for small and medium-sized construction teams to replace traditional lifting equipment.

5 Core Performance Features of the 3-ton Spider Crane
Dual Power Switching
A dual-power configuration of diesel and electric. The electric motor provides quiet, zero-emission operation in enclosed indoor spaces, while diesel power is available for outdoor locations without electricity, maximizing versatility.
01
100-meter Wireless Remote Control
Optional proportional wireless remote control allows operators to control the crane from a safe position, enabling millimeter-level adjustments to boom movements and preventing swaying or impacts to heavy objects.
02
360° Rotation
The upper body allows for 360° rotation without blind spots, covering a large lifting area without frequent chassis movement.
03
Multiple Safety Protections
Standard features include a torque limiter, overload alarm, and emergency stop switch. Overload automatically locks the boom to prevent tipping.
04
Modular Upgrade Options
It can be equipped with an aerial work platform and hydraulic boom, combining lifting and high-altitude maintenance into one machine.

Case Studies of YG Spider Cranes Used by Clients in Spain and New Zealand
Case 1: Old Town Renovation Project in Spain
- Client Background: A Madrid-based renovation company undertaking the renovation of a century-old residential building. The streets were less than 1.2 meters wide, making it impossible for large cranes to access the area, and the hoisting of building materials to the rooftop was temporarily halted.
- Solution: Purchased two 3-ton diesel-electric spider cranes, allowing direct access to the narrow streets and enabling access to the rooftop via a freight elevator.
- Results: Previously, manual hoisting of building materials was 0.8 tons per day; after the equipment arrived, it hoisted 12 tons per day, completing the project 15 days ahead of schedule; the rubber tracks protected the old cobblestone pavement intact, with no damage requiring compensation.
- Customer Testimonial: "This spider crane is perfectly suited for the narrow alleyways of the old town. One machine replaces the entire team's manual labor, and we continue to repurchase it for new projects."
Case 2: New Zealand Factory Mechanical and Electrical Installation Company
- Client Background: An Auckland mechanical and electrical company in New Zealand, undertaking the installation of central air conditioning units in a closed factory building. The workshop entrance was narrow, and there were no outdoor hoisting points.
- Solution: Purchased one 3-ton electric spider crane, which drove into the factory through the main entrance and completed the placement of multiple units indoors. A smaller spider crane was used to assist in the hoisting of smaller components.
- Implementation Results: The enclosed factory successfully passed the environmental impact assessment with zero exhaust pollution. The entire factory's equipment installation was completed in 3 days, saving 65% of costs compared to manual labor.
- Customer Testimonial: The electric motor type is quiet and environmentally friendly, and the remote control operation is safe and worry-free, making it an essential piece of equipment for indoor mechanical and electrical installation.
Frequently Asked Questions about YG's Spider Crane
Q: How to choose between a 3-ton and a 5-ton spider crane?
A: For open spaces and large, heavy loads, choose the 5-ton model; for narrow indoor doorways and delicate rooftop hoisting, prioritize the 3-ton spider crane, balancing load capacity and passageway dimensions.
Q: Will the tracks scratch the floor during indoor wood flooring installation?
A: The standard configuration includes thickened natural rubber tracks, which are soft and will not scratch ceramic tiles, wood floors, or epoxy floors under normal driving conditions.
Q: Can the machine be operated outdoors in harsh rain and snow conditions?
A: The key electrical components of the machine are waterproofed. It can be operated normally in light rain, but in heavy rain, it is recommended to store the equipment in a dry warehouse.
Q: What if I lose the remote control?
A: YG can replace the remote control. The device also has a manual emergency control panel, which won't affect basic operation.
Q: Can a 3-ton spider crane lift a maximum of 3 tons?
A: Yes. But it depends on the working radius. The larger the radius, the smaller the lifting capacity. A radius of 1 meter can lift 3 tons, but a radius of 10 meters may only allow for 0.5 tons. Check the lifting performance table before use.
