Basement Work in a congested area

Why Our Spider Crane out performs a Mobile Crane for Your Steel Beam Project

Traditional mobile cranes frequently fail to raise steel beams in constrained spaces with limited accessibility. In such cases, their big footprint and high radius may render them unfeasible. This is where spider cranes, such as our URW706, really shine.

Key Benefits of Spider Cranes Over Mobile Cranes:

Spider cranes are well-known for their compact size and manoeuvrability in confined places. Because of their tiny form, they can access areas where larger mobile cranes cannot. This is especially useful in urban settings or while building on existing structures.
Spider cranes’ weight is uniformly distributed between its many outriggers, resulting in little ground pressure. This reduces the possibility of damaging sensitive surfaces or sinking into soft ground, a typical issue with larger mobile cranes.

Versatility and Flexibility: Spider cranes may be positioned and modified to meet a variety of lifting requirements. Their capacity to rotate 360 degrees and extend their boom under load, gives exceptional versatility, making them suitable for a broad range of applications, including steel beam lifting.
Spider cranes provide precise control over lifting operations owing to its innovative hydraulic systems and user-friendly controls. This guarantees that huge weights may be lifted and positioned precisely and safely, even in difficult situations.

Why Our URW706 Spider Crane Was the Best Option for Your Project:

Our URW706 spider crane is an excellent illustration of the adaptability and effectiveness of this type of equipment. Its small form, along with its outstanding lifting capabilities, made it the best option for your steel beam project. By choosing our spider crane, you were able to:

  1. Access tight spaces: Because of its compact size, the crane was able to go through narrow pathways and past obstructions, allowing it to reach regions that a mobile crane would not have been able to access.
  2. No ground damage: The URW706’s low ground pressure together with the use of outrigger pads and/or plywood sheets, reduces the chance of damage to the surrounding region, resulting in a smooth and efficient operation.
  3. Achieve exact positioning: The crane’s superior controls permitted correct placement of the steel beams, lowering the risk.


Our engineering team conducted an inspection of the location, an internal analysis, and drawings to decide which spider crane is most suited for this operation.

Thank you to our URW706 Spider Crane. The crane has one of the largest capacities of any tiny spider crane on the market and provides unrivalled lifting versatility. It has proven to be the most sought-after piece of lifting equipment, desired by contractors.

The crane was able to hoist their steel beams at a height of 10 metres and a working radius of 7 metres with a weight of two tonnes. 

One of the most difficult challenges we had was getting the crane to the basement. Given the limited space and congestion in the construction location, moving and placing the crane was no easy task.

The tight workstation emphasised the full value of our spider crane. Its tiny design and superb manoeuvrability allowed it to easily concur the tight basement, a feat that larger cranes could not have accomplished.

This project demonstrates the adaptability and efficiency of our URW706 Spider Crane. It’s more than primarily equipment; it’s a problem-solving solution that produces outstanding outcomes even under the most extreme situations.
