Spider cranes and workshop cranes for lifting in confined spaces, inside buildings and where a mobile crane cannot reach. Our spider cranes are compact UNIC machines, available for operated or contract lift spider crane hire.
The constraint on most crane selection is getting the machine into position and setting it up, rather than the weight of the lift. Spider cranes pass through doorways and work indoors; pick-and-carry and mini cranes suit yards and confined external areas.
Capacity depends on outrigger spread and what the ground beneath can take. A machine on partial spread lifts far less than the headline figure, and the ground has to carry the point load through the pads.
Every lift needs planning by someone competent, with the load weight confirmed, the radius established and the crane chart checked for the configuration achievable on site.

Yes. Lifts should be planned by a competent person, with the load weight confirmed and the crane chart checked for the actual radius and configuration.
