France’s urban construction sites are tight. Narrow streets and old buildings make large cranes useless. Contractors need compact machines that still lift heavy loads. This is why a French construction company bought our small tracked crane.
They chose YG for multiple tasks. Their main work includes building renovations and equipment installation in crowded city centers. Our YG-3t and YG-5t models fit their needs perfectly. These small tracked crane units move easily on soft ground. They also pass through standard doorways and narrow gates.

Project Background and Customer Feedback
This customer works in the Paris region. They handle wastewater projects. They also maintain old buildings with limited access. Standard cranes cannot enter narrow alleys. Heavy equipment also damages old pavements.
Their project required a crane that:
- Fits through a 1-meter wide gate
- Lifts up to 3 tons
- Works on uneven ground
- Operates quietly near homes
They tested our mobile spider crane on a real job. This small tracked crane reached tight areas without trouble. It saved time and reduced safety risks.
After the test, they gave positive feedback:
- The machine started easily in cold weather
- Controls felt responsive
- The boom extended smoothly
- Tracks did not mark the floor
Why They Chose YG
The customer compared German and Japanese brands. YG offered better value. Our mini crawler crane gives premium features at a fair price. We also met their exact specifications.
Key reasons for their choice:
1. Compact Size
The YG-3t measures 2950*980*1560 mm and weighs 2700 kg. This small tracked crane fits through standard doorways. The tracks have low ground pressure to protect paved surfaces.
2. Strong Performance
The crane lifts up to 3 tons. Maximum working radius reaches 8.83 meters. Above-ground head goes to 9.9 meters. This covers most site lifting needs.
3. Remote Control
Workers operate from a safe distance. The small tracked crane includes a remote control option. The operator stays clear of dangerous areas.
4. 360° Rotation
The machine rotates continuously in 60 seconds. This speeds up work cycles. Operators reposition less often.
5. Good Climbing Ability
The tracks climb 25° slopes (36% grade). This handles ramps and uneven French sites easily.
YG Provides Quality Small Tracked Cranes
YG builds durable machines with strong materials. Every small tracked crane passes strict quality checks. This ensures long life and low maintenance.
The French customer noticed the build quality. The boom has a 5-section pentagonal structure. It gives strength without extra weight. Boom length extends from 3.1m to 9.2m in 20 seconds on the YG-3t. The YG-5t reaches 12.3m in 54 seconds.
The winch system is reliable. The YG-3t uses φ8mm rope with 45m length. The YG-5t and YG-8t use φ11mm rope with 80m length. Hook speed reaches 12m/min on larger models. This enables fast lifting.
Hydraulic motors power the tracks. Speed reaches 2.5 km/h with precise control. This small tracked crane moves easily in tight spaces. The mobile spider crane design adds extra stability.
YG after-sales support impressed them. We provided training videos and on-site setup help. We also supplied spare parts quickly.
The French team now uses this small tracked crane for many jobs:
- Lifting pumps in treatment plants
- Moving materials on construction sites
- Installing equipment in historic buildings
- Maintenance work in narrow alleys
They said the machine paid for itself in six months. It reduced manual labor and improved safety. It also cut project completion times.
