Lift Minicranes enables you to easily and affordably hire spider cranes for a wide range of projects across the country.

Otherwise known as ‘mini’ or ‘compact cranes’, spider cranes are brilliant for lifting and moving heavy loads. They’re particularly useful in tight or restricted spaces which larger cranes cannot access.

As you will see from our projects page, we’ve provided these types of cranes for use in many locations, including cities. Committed to the finest standards of health and safety, we ensure that work is completed seamlessly.

Spider cranes are extremely versatile and are used in a variety of industries including construction, manufacturing, maintenance and transportation. Their features include a compact body, crawlers, a motor and outriggers.

The invention of this type of crane can be traced back to Japan in the 1970s. During this decade there was a boom in construction in densely built-up areas, which pushed companies to create new solutions for carrying out construction and demolition work in constrained spaces or places with narrow access. However, it didn’t arrive in Europe until the 1990s.

Our specialists work with companies in a number of industries looking to hire spider cranes.

Spider cranes are particularly useful for tasks like glass installations on high-rise buildings since they can place panels precisely, even in confined spaces. They’re also often used for lifting steel beams and columns into place during the construction of buildings or bridges.

Indoor constructions also benefit from the use of spider cranes, including the installation of HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical components.

Maintenance and repair work is easier when you hire a spider crane, along with landscaping tasks, like moving large trees or putting other landscaping features into place.
