Spider crane, also known as mini crawler crane, is a compact, flexible lifting machine with spider‑style outriggers and rubber crawlers. It features small turning radius, strong passability, stable lifting, and easy transportation, widely used in narrow spaces, high‑rise construction, interior renovation, equipment installation and other working conditions where large cranes cannot enter.
YG spider cranes adopt dual‑power system (diesel + electric), multi‑section telescopic boom, independent control outriggers, and can realize safe and efficient lifting in limited space.
