Why Mini Crawler
Cranes?

Mini crawler cranes enable crane operations that were previously not possible. These convenient machines, which are still relatively unknown to many, can be used for a wide variety of purposes, such as installing windows from rooftops, setting up artwork in museums, and performing underground work etc.
This section presents three advantages of mini crawler cranes.

Small but Mighty

Mini crawler cranes enable crane operations in narrow places where other machines cannot enter. Their small bodies can go through regular doors and enter elevators to perform crane work on higher floors without scratching the flooring thanks to their rubber crawlers.

Moreover, electric motor models and battery-powered models that do not emit noxious gases allow for safe indoor operation.

Overcoming Rough Terrain

Mini crawler cranes enable crane operations on rough terrain that other cranes cannot enter.

Even in cases where approaches to the work-site is uneven, mini-crawlers can drive without any problems, thanks to the crawler's high straight-line stability system.
In addition, even if the work-site is narrow or confined, the angles and orientations of the outriggers can be adjusted to suit the worksite, enabling the outriggers to be placed appropriately for crane work.

Mini crawler cranes can even demonstrate their power in places where obstacles are on the ground. For example, they can work on the rooftops of scaffolded buildings under construction, inside theaters that have small steps, and even on canals.

It is no wonder these mini crawler cranes are also known as spider cranes; they have distinctively shaped outriggers that can be unfolded at will.

Overcoming Rough Terrain

Ease of Operation

Mini crawler cranes are machines that are easy to operate, safe, and user-friendly.
They are ready for operation once the four outriggers are extended. Also thanks to the speed-adjustable crawlers, it’s easy to carry out works when removing.
Safety equipment such as the overturning and overload prevention systems make it possible to work at ease, eliminating complicated operations during use.
