UNIC URW-095 Mini Spider Crane

Model URW-095 | 0.995t × 3.5m Max Capacity | 600mm Width | 8.8m Lift Height | Petrol / Diesel / LPG / Electric Options | Optional 700kg Fly Jib

The UNIC URW-095 is just 0.6m wide and designed specifically for interior access, while benefitting from class-leading heavy lifting capacity. The URW-095 boasts unrivalled boom length of 8.65m and its independent multi-angle outriggers can be configured to suit the working space, especially in restricted or confined areas. The patented UNIC stability protection system provides the benefit of turnover protection for enhanced safety. Available in petrol with LPG and electric options, or diesel with electric option, with zero length increase when the electric pack is fitted.

Technical Specifications

Specifications above are taken from the UNIC manufacturer's spec sheet at standard configuration. Variants with electric, LPG or other options may differ slightly — full rated capacity charts supplied with each hire.

Key Features

• Class-leading capacity for its width — 0.995t at 3.5m radius from a 600mm-wide machine
• 5-section hexagonal box boom — extends from 2.53m to 8.65m with hydraulic telescoping
• Multi-fuel options — petrol with LPG and electric, or diesel with electric — choose to suit the site
• Zero length increase with electric option — the integrated 400V motor adds no footprint
• UNIC stability protection system — patented turnover protection with warning lamps and alarm
• Optional 700kg fly jib — extends lift height to 9.8m with single part line

Suitable Applications

The URW-095 is ideal for interior fit-out, refurbishment, glazing, plant installation, museum exhibit handling, listed buildings and any application requiring sub-doorway access combined with substantial reach. The optional fly jib extends usefulness to over-obstacle lifts in atria and lightwells. Frequently specified for shopping centres, airports, hospitals and heritage sites where indoor lifting demands a slim, multi-power machine.

How to Set Up and Operate the URW-095

1. Survey the working area, verify ground bearing capacity against the published point loadings and confirm overhead clearances are sufficient for the proposed boom geometry.
2. Track the crane into position using the operator's seat or radio remote. Ensure the chassis is on firm, level ground or that load-spreader mats are deployed.
3. Deploy the outriggers to the configuration required by the lift plan — set each outrigger angle and extension, ensuring stabiliser pads make full contact with the ground.
4. Level the crane using the bubble level / auto-level system and verify all outrigger interlocks are engaged before luffing the boom.
5. Configure the rope reeving (1-fall, 2-fall, 4-fall or 5/6-fall as applicable) to match the planned load and required rope length.
6. Set any working area, slew or height limits required by the lift plan via the safe load indicator interface.
7. Carry out a function test, confirm the moment limiter and voice warning system are operational, then lift to working position and complete the lift in accordance with the lift plan.
8. On completion, return the boom to the stow position, retract outriggers and secure the crane for transit or overnight parking.

Warning: Spider cranes must only be operated by CPCS / NPORS / equivalent-certified operators working to an approved lift plan. Never exceed the rated capacity at the relevant radius shown on the load chart. Power source: Petrol / Diesel / LPG / Electric.

Safety Information

• The crane must only be operated by competent, trained and certified operators familiar with this specific UNIC model.
• A documented lift plan, prepared by an Appointed Person, is required for every lifting operation under LOLER 1998.
• Ground conditions must be assessed against the manufacturer's point loadings — supplied on request — before each lift.
• Outriggers must be deployed to a configuration that supports the planned load at the planned radius; mixed-extension configurations require a competent rating check.
• Never operate the crane outside the rated load chart, override the safe load indicator, or carry loads with the boom in an unintended configuration.
• Carry out daily pre-use checks of hooks, wire ropes, hydraulics, safety devices and the moment limiter prior to first lift each shift.

Inspection and Maintenance

Spider cranes must be subject to a Thorough Examination by a Competent Person at least every 12 months under LOLER 1998, with additional 6-month examinations required where the crane is used to lift persons. Daily pre-use checks should cover wire rope condition, hook and shackle integrity, hydraulic system, outrigger pads, tracks, safety devices and the safe load indicator. All WOLFF Onsite hire cranes are supplied with a current Report of Thorough Examination and full service history. Defects identified in service must be reported immediately and the crane taken out of use until repaired.
