In scenarios such as building curtain wall installation, interior decoration, power maintenance, cultural relic restoration, and small equipment handling, lifting operations often face challenges such as confined spaces, uneven ground, and inflexible equipment access. Traditional large cranes are bulky and cannot enter indoor spaces, corridors, or narrow construction sites, while small lifting equipment suffers from insufficient lifting capacity and poor stability, making it difficult to meet actual operational needs. The YG 5-ton spider crane is a miniaturized and flexible lifting device with a lifting capacity of 5 tons. Classified as a spider crane, it belongs to the YG spider crane product line, along with the 3-ton and 8-ton spider cranes, with the core differences being the lifting capacity and suitable application scenarios. Its core function is to complete lifting operations such as equipment handling, material hoisting, and component installation in narrow, complex, and uneven environments, replacing traditional large cranes and manual handling. It ensures both lifting efficiency and operational safety, making it particularly suitable for scenarios inaccessible to large cranes, filling the gap in lifting equipment operation in confined spaces.

Advantages of the YG Small Spider Crane
- Solves lifting challenges in confined spaces and expands operating range: Its foldable design allows access to elevators, corridors, and narrow construction sites where large cranes cannot reach, filling a gap in lifting operations in confined spaces. It is also adaptable to complex terrain, operating without the need for ground leveling, eliminating the need for additional investment in site preparation. This allows users to undertake more lifting projects in confined spaces, expanding their business scope, especially suitable for niche markets such as urban renovation and interior decoration.
- Improves work efficiency and shortens project time: Its high-efficiency lifting design offers fast lifting speeds and flexible operation, quickly completing material hoisting and handling operations. Compared to manual handling and ordinary small cranes, efficiency is increased by more than 10 times. It eliminates the need for cumbersome equipment assembly and transportation processes, allowing for rapid deployment and reducing equipment downtime. This helps users complete tasks quickly, shorten project timelines, and seize market opportunities. The 360-degree rotation design eliminates the need for frequent adjustments to the crane’s position, further improving work efficiency, especially suitable for scenarios requiring frequent changes in lifting angles.
- Ensure operational safety and reduce safety risks: Multiple safety protection devices (overload protection, anti-tilt protection, emergency stop, etc.) monitor the operational status in real time to prevent accidents; wireless remote control operation allows operators to complete tasks within a safe area, avoiding risks such as working at heights and material impact injuries, thus reducing the accident rate; the torque limiter’s black box function automatically records hazardous operating conditions, providing a basis for accident analysis and handling; the equipment operates smoothly without material shaking or tilting, ensuring the safety of operators and materials and reducing economic losses caused by accidents.
- Reduced operating costs and improved cost-effectiveness: Direct supply from the manufacturer eliminates intermediaries, resulting in more competitive pricing; low energy consumption significantly reduces fuel/electricity costs over the long term; modular design allows for interchangeable components with 3-ton and 8-ton spider cranes, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs; simple operation eliminates the need for a specialized technical team, reducing labor costs; the equipment is wear-resistant and durable with a low failure rate, reducing maintenance costs and downtime losses. It can also be used in conjunction with tracked mini cranes, eliminating the need to purchase different types of lifting equipment separately, further reducing overall procurement costs and meeting users’ core needs for “low-cost, high-efficiency operation.”
- Adapts to diverse needs and improves equipment utilization: It can be adapted to various industries and scenarios for indoor and outdoor operations, and can complete a variety of tasks such as hoisting, handling, and installation, without the need to purchase separate equipment for a single scenario; it can be used with 3-ton spider cranes and 8-ton spider cranes to adapt to different tonnage lifting needs, while also being compatible with tracked mini crane operation scenarios, thus improving equipment utilization; it supports customized design, and parameters can be optimized according to specific user needs to adapt to high-end and personalized operation requirements, further enhancing the practicality and added value of the equipment. Whether it is the hoisting of glazed tiles in the restoration of ancient buildings or the installation of large equipment in factories, it can be perfectly adapted.


Customer Testimonials for Small Spider Cranes – From Russia and Australia
Igor Sokolov, Glass Curtain Wall Contractor from Moscow, Russia
“We undertook the replacement of the podium curtain wall of a 46-story building in Moscow’s CBD. The problem was that large cranes couldn’t access the underground parking garage roof, and the glass panels had to be installed from the interior. YG’s 3-ton spider crane was a huge help – it was transported by passenger elevator to the 4th-floor platform, and its outriggers, once extended, fit perfectly between the columns. The vacuum suction cups gripped the 2.5m x 1.8m laminated glass, and the operator, standing at a safe distance, used a remote control to send the glass out of the window, then lifted it up 1 meter and embedded it into the frame. The whole process was incredibly smooth. Previously, this kind of work required scaffolding and road closures for two weeks; now it’s completed in four days.”
Michael Chen, Fleet Manager, Equipment Rental Company from Sydney, Australia
“We purchased our first YG crane in 2023.” An 8-ton spider crane was launched to test the local rental market. Demand far exceeded expectations – not only construction companies rented it, but even film crews were looking to use it to move large camera cranes to filming locations on the edge of cliffs. YG equipment has demonstrated exceptional reliability, operating continuously in Sydney’s 40°C summer temperatures without any overheating issues in the hydraulic system. The outrigger seals haven’t leaked oil in two years. We’ve just placed a second order.”
