Description
Technical Parameters

Traditional truck cranes and large cranes generally suffer from drawbacks such as large size, inability to enter indoor spaces, and difficulty in operating in narrow areas. Indoor equipment maintenance, curtain wall installation, and hoisting in confined factory areas have long been industry challenges. The 5-ton spider crane, with its compact body, small outrigger footprint, and ability to fit into indoor elevators, perfectly solves the problem of hoisting in narrow spaces, making it a mainstream upgrade for small-scale lifting operations.

YG, as a professional lifting equipment manufacturer, covers a full range of tonnage spider cranes, including 3-ton, 5-ton, and 8-ton models, with optional attachments such as glass suction cups and aerial work platforms. Currently, it is exported in bulk to countries such as Germany, Australia, Malaysia, the UAE, the United States, and Singapore, and is widely applicable to indoor installation, curtain wall construction, equipment maintenance, and other scenarios, especially suitable for densely built-up urban areas with limited space.

What Attachments Can Be Used with a Spider Crane to Expand Its Operational Scenarios?

 

  1. Glass Vacuum Suction Cup: Specifically designed for the installation of curtain wall glass and large stone slabs, providing stable adhesion and adjustable angle, replacing manual high-altitude glass handling for safety and efficiency.
  2. Aerial Work Platform: With the addition of a personnel basket, it can be used as a small aerial work vehicle for tasks such as exterior wall repairs, lighting installation, and pipeline laying, eliminating the need to rent an additional aerial work vehicle.
  3. Hydraulic Fork Attachment: By replacing the forks, it can be used as a small forklift, handling goods and transferring equipment within the factory area in one machine.
  4. Hook and Lifting Tool Combination: A standard hook, combined with different lifting tools, can complete routine tasks such as equipment lifting, building material hoisting, and heavy object relocation.
  5. Rotating Work Platform: With the addition of a rotating platform, the lifting angle can be adjusted 360 degrees, providing greater flexibility for installation in complex locations.

 

German and Malaysian Clients Used YG's 5-Ton Spider Crane to Complete Projects

 

Case 1: Equipment Overhaul Project at a Munich Factory, Germany

 

  • Client Background: An industrial equipment maintenance company in Munich, Germany, undertook equipment replacement and overhaul projects for a precision machine tool factory. The work was conducted inside the workshop, with narrow entrances and limited ceiling height, making it impossible for large cranes to access the site.
  • Pain Points: Large cranes could not enter the workshop; manual handling was risky and inefficient; the workshop floor was epoxy flooring and could not be damaged by heavy equipment; high lifting precision was required, and the precision equipment could not be damaged.
  • Solution: Purchased one 5-ton electric spider crane, equipped with anti-slip outrigger pads, suitable for indoor narrow space operations.
  • Implementation Results: The crane passed through the workshop doorway smoothly, allowing for flexible indoor operations; the rubber tracks and pads caused no damage to the epoxy flooring; hydraulic micro-motion ensured precise positioning, allowing for one-time installation; the work efficiency was 5 times that of manual labor, and the overhaul task was completed ahead of schedule.
  • Customer Testimonial: "This small spider crane perfectly solved the problem of hoisting within the workshop. It's compact, highly precise, and doesn't damage the ground, helping us successfully complete many indoor projects we couldn't do before."

 

Case Study 2: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Curtain Wall Installation Project

 

  • Client Background: A curtain wall engineering company in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, undertook a glass curtain wall installation project for an office building in the city center. The streets were narrow, making it difficult and costly to obtain permits for large cranes to occupy the road.
  • Pain Points: Strict road occupancy permits in the city center; high rental costs and limited usage time for large cranes; dangerous high-rise glass installation; difficult manual alignment; tight project schedule requiring efficient construction.
  • Solution: Purchased two 5-ton spider cranes, equipped with glass vacuum suction cup attachments, allowing operation inside the building and on the roof without occupying the road.
  • Results: No road occupancy permits were required; the equipment could be transported directly to the building for operation, saving significant approval time and crane costs; precise suction cup alignment increased installation efficiency by 40%, allowing for early completion of curtain wall construction; the equipment was easy to move between locations, enabling flexible multi-floor operations.
  • Customer review: "It's so practical when paired with the glass suction cup. One device can handle both hoisting and installation, which is much more cost-effective than renting a crane. Its ability to operate in narrow spaces far exceeded our expectations. We will continue to purchase from them for future projects."

 



Frequently Asked Questions about YG's Small Spider Crane

 

Q: Can a 5-ton spider crane lift 5 tons? How high can it lift?

A: Yes. But it depends on the working radius. The smaller the radius, the heavier and higher it can lift; the larger the radius, the lower the lifting capacity. A 5-ton model can generally lift 5 tons within a radius of 2-3 meters, with a boom length of approximately 12-15 meters.

Q: Which is more suitable for indoor glass installation, a 3-ton or a 5-ton crane?

A: It depends on the glass size. Common glass curtain wall panels typically weigh between 1-2 tons, so a 3-ton crane is sufficient and lighter. If the glass is large and heavy, a 5-ton crane is more reliable.

Q: Can a spider crane fit into a standard elevator?

A: The 5-ton model has a body width of approximately 1.4-1.6 meters and a folded height of approximately 2.2 meters. Some smaller models can fit into standard freight elevators. Measure the elevator dimensions before selecting a model.

Q: Does YG have after-sales service overseas?

A: Yes. YG provides remote video guidance and technical support, and the entire machine comes with a 12-month warranty.
