FAQ
 

Q: What is a spider crane?

A: Spider cranes get their name from their four outriggers which give this machine an arachnid-like appearance. These innovative and highly specialised machines are designed to tackle projects where larger conventional cranes cannot access or operate efficiently.

Q: How much can a spider crane lift?

A: That means it can carry a max load of 10 tonnes up to 3ms, but is capable of lifting smaller loads to its 'maximum lifting height'. The biggest spider cranes in the world max out at a maximum lifting height of between 35 - 30 meters, but these are rare.

Q: What materials are used in spider cranes?

A: The main body of spider cranes is usually manufactured with high strength low alloy steel (SHLA), which uses hardening elements to add the necessary levels of strength. SHLA is beneficial because it's lightweight and energy efficient, whilst maintaining the ability to lift and hold heavy items.

Q: What are spider cranes used for?

A: Spider cranes can be used for a wide range of applications: From hvac installations through to landscaping. They are especially sought after for projects where traditional cranes would be impractical or impossible to use, such as inside buildings, on roofs or in tight spaces.

Q: How does a spider crane work?

A: A spider crane's boom acts as a lever, allowing the engine to apply a greater force over a shorter distance to lift the load. Additionally, it forces cranes to use counterweights that are heavier than the load to prevent the crane from tipping during lifts. A steel cable connects the boom to the load via a series of sheaves.

Q: What type of crane is a spider crane?

A: A mini-crawler is a mini-crane that has been designed and built for working in low access confined areas either indoors or outdoors. It is mounted on a dual track chassis with “spider-type” legs for its outriggers.

Q: What is the formula for crane selection?

A: You may need to find the crane capacity index for the load chart. To calculate the crane capacity index, use this formula: (average (radius x max (lifting height x capacity))) / 100.

Q: What are the applications of crawler crane?

A: A crawler crane is perfect for carrying large and heavy loads, such as steel beams, concrete blocks, and other construction materials, due to its enormous lifting capability and long reach. They are frequently employed in the construction of bridges, wind turbines, heavy lift operations, and other expansive projects.

Q: Do spider cranes work in the rain?

A: Most spider crane lifting operations can go ahead as planned when it's raining, providing the ground isn't compromised and visibility is still good. However, if there is heavy rain or snow, it will reduce visibility.

Q: Are pider cranes manual or automatic?

A: Pider crane technology has undergone a remarkable evolution over the centuries, transitioning from early manual systems to modern automated solutions. This evolution has been driven by the need for increased safety, efficiency, and productivity in lifting operations.
