Mobile spider crane is a compact crawler lifting machine designed for lifting and handling work in narrow spaces where conventional cranes may have difficulty operating. The 5-ton model uses rubber tracks, hydraulic travel, a five-section U-shaped boom, and manual or optional remote control operation.
What Can a Spider Crawler Crane Do?
A 5 ton spider crane is designed for lifting work in locations where a larger crane cannot easily enter or operate. Its compact body allows it to work indoors and in space-limited areas.
The machine can be used for outdoor maintenance and decoration, glass installation, construction material lifting, vertical transportation, and other lifting tasks. The source also lists airports, railway stations, dams, commercial buildings, rooftops, and other construction locations as application environments.

Why Use a Spider Crawler Crane in Narrow Spaces?
YG spider crawler crane has a compact 1.5 m-wide body and rubber crawler tracks. This design allows the machine to enter areas where conventional cranes may not be able to operate.
1. Compact 1.5 m Body
The overall machine dimensions are 5000 × 1500 × 1900 mm. The compact width is useful in restricted access areas.
The machine can be disassembled for elevator transportation when required.
2. Rubber Crawler Tracks
The mobile spider crane uses hydraulic motor-driven travel and rubber tracks. The track size is 2600 × 400 mm, while the maximum travel speed is 2.5 km/h.
The rubber-track design is also described as producing low ground pressure for work on light floors.
3. Five-Section Hydraulic Boom
The machine uses a five-section U-shaped boom with a length range of 4.7-16.5 m.
The boom angle ranges from 0° to 78°, with a listed operating time of 13 seconds. The boom can also rotate continuously through 360°.
4. Manual or Remote Control
The standard control system uses manual operation for the boom, outriggers, and travel. Remote control is available as an option.
This configuration provides an additional operating option for lifting work where remote operation is required.

What Does the 5 Ton Spider Crane Include?
YG 5 ton spider crane has a hydraulic lifting and travel system. The hoist, boom extension, boom elevation, and slewing functions are hydraulically driven.
Its lifting system provides a maximum lifting capacity of 5 t at close range, with a maximum working radius of 14 m at 0.5 t and a maximum lifting height of 16.8 m.
The outrigger system uses manual swing, hydraulic extension, and automatic support. Maximum outrigger spread is 7800 mm from left to right and 3600 mm from front to back.
Where Can a Mobile Spider Crane Be Used?
The mobile spider crane is intended for lifting work in narrow or restricted locations.
Typical applications include:
- Glass installation
- Outdoor maintenance
- Building decoration
- Construction material lifting
- Vertical transportation
- Airport construction
- Railway station construction
- Dam construction
- Municipal construction
- Indoor lifting work
- Rooftop lifting work
- Shopping mall projects

How Does the Mobile Spider Crane Solve Access Problems?
Some lifting projects have limited access rather than simply requiring a high lifting capacity. The mobile spider crane addresses several of these conditions through its compact structure and crawler-based travel.
| Working Problem | Spider Crane Solution |
| Limited doorway access | Compact 1.5 m body; can be disassembled for elevator transport |
| Light floor requirements | Rubber tracks with low ground pressure |
| Rooftop work | Can be lifted by a building crane or disassembled |
| Precision operation | Optional remote control and smooth hydraulic movements |
When Is a 5 Ton Spider Crane Suitable?
This 5 ton spider crane meets your project needs if you require a compact lifting machine with a 5-ton maximum close-range lifting capacity for restricted-access sites.
It is particularly relevant when a conventional large crane cannot easily enter the working area. Its 5000 × 1500 × 1900 mm overall dimensions and crawler travel system support operation in compact locations.
However, the maximum 5-ton capacity is specified for close-range lifting. The machine has a 14 m × 0.5 t working radius specification, so you need to verify lifting requirements against the actual working radius before selecting the machine.
