Why use a Spydercrane?

You’ve got a lot of options when you decide you need a machine to do a job, and you’ve got even more choices when you decide you need a crane, but what makes a Spydercrane your best choice? Unlike wheel-mounted and truck-mounted cranes, Spydercranes crawl into tight spaces where larger machines can’t go. Spydercranes don’t need to be mounted on complicated, bulky structures like overhead tracks or mono-rails, and they’re far more versatile than tower cranes, while still bringing enough muscle to handle loads up to 6 tons.

Best in the business

Designed and manufactured by the FURUKAWA UNIC Corp. in Japan, the Spydercrane is the perfect solution for medium capacity jobs. Able to handle loads between 3 and 6 tons and still fit easily into small places, the Spydercrane has applications in a variety of industries, from construction, to landscaping. The crane’s strength, however, is balanced by an array of stabilizing features, giving you the power and precision needed for delicate jobs like the installation of sculptures and monuments, movement of glass panels, and placement of machinery.
