Mini tracked crane, also known as a spider crane or compact crawler crane, is a small yet powerful lifting machine mounted on rubber tracks. Engineered for portability and precision, these compact cranes deliver heavy-duty performance in spaces traditional cranes can’t reach. Perfect for construction, landscaping, or indoor renovations.

Advantages of Using a Mini Tracked Crane
- Excellent Manoeuvrability in Confined Spaces
Small tracked cranes are purpose-built for projects where space is limited. Their compact frame and ability to rotate within a small footprint make them ideal for indoor construction, atriums, or urban renovations. - All-Terrain Performance
The rubber tracks distribute weight evenly, allowing the crane to traverse soft or uneven ground without sinking. This makes them suitable for gardens, rooftops, basements, or even delicate flooring. - Increased Job Site Safety
With radio remote control systems, operators can control the crane from a safe distance, improving visibility and reducing the risk of injury.
Common Applications of Small Tracked Cranes
- Construction and Renovation
Mini tracked crane is frequently used in residential and commercial construction projects where access is limited. They are perfect for lifting steel beams, glass panels, HVAC units, and other building materials in tight spots. - Industrial Maintenance
Factories, power plants, and refineries often require compact lifting solutions for replacing or servicing heavy equipment in restricted areas. Crawler spider cranes offer the reach and precision required for these tasks. - Landscaping and Tree Work
Landscapers use mini tracked cranes to transport and position trees, rocks, and other heavy landscape elements. Their low ground pressure ensures minimal disruption to soil and lawns.
