Why the Spider Crane

The machine that goes where others can't

Our spider crane does what no conventional crane can — tight spaces, indoor floors, restricted access sites. One machine. Unlimited possibilities.

🚪
Tight Access Specialist
At just 950 mm wide and 1,700 mm tall, our spider crane navigates corridors, service entries, and confined spaces that are completely out of reach for conventional cranes.
🏢
True Indoor Lifting
Basements, warehouses, shopping centres, hospitals — the spider crane works on any floor level without needing roof access or an open sky.
⚖️
2,250 kg Max Lift Capacity
Don't let the compact size fool you. Our spider crane lifts up to 2,250 kg at a 1.5m radius, reaching up to 10.7m high — perfect for HVAC units, structural steel, plant equipment, and more.
🎮
Radio Remote Operated
Fully remote controlled for precision lifts in confined spaces — complete control of every movement from a safe distance, no overhead crane required.
🪨
Ultra-Low Ground Pressure
The spider crane's wide outrigger footprint distributes load gently — it's safe on polished concrete, suspended floors, and sensitive indoor surfaces.

Testimonials

Lifts nobody else could do — done.

★★★★★
"We needed a 2.2-tonne chiller unit lifted into a basement plant room with a 900 mm access corridor. Three other crane companies said it was impossible. Melbourne Crane Solutions rolled the spider crane straight through the door and had it done in two hours. Absolutely incredible machine."

Mechanical Contractor, CBD
★★★★★
"We had structural steel to lift on the third floor of an occupied shopping centre — no way to get a conventional crane near it. The spider crane came in through the service entry, worked beautifully in the confined retail space, and didn't disrupt a single tenant. Phenomenal."
M
Marcus B.
Construction Manager, Doncaster
★★★★★
"Our hospital renovation required lifting heavy air-handling units into a rooftop plant room that was completely enclosed. The spider crane fit through the access hatch with centimetres to spare and operated perfectly in the tight space. No other crane in Melbourne could have done this job."
