Crawler spider cranes from 1.2 t to 16 t - confined spaces, uneven terrain, every continent. 10 models with diesel or dual-power drive.
Crawler spider cranes from 1.2 t to 16 t - confined spaces, uneven terrain, every continent. 10 models with diesel or dual-power drive.
Spider cranes are compact crawler cranes with folding outriggers, built for lifting jobs where a truck crane simply cannot go: indoor halls, narrow alleys, rooftops and finished floors. GLORYTECH spider cranes from 1.2 t to 16 t pass through standard doorways, and every model is available with diesel, electric or dual power.
Start from the load chart, not the headline capacity. The rated tonnage applies only at minimum radius - what matters is the usable capacity at your actual working radius and lift height. Send us the load weight, lift height and horizontal reach, and we will confirm the model against its load curve before quoting.
Choose the power source for the site: diesel for outdoor construction, an electric motor for zero-emission indoor work such as glass installation and plant maintenance, or dual power for mixed fleets.
Check access last: machine width, outrigger spread and transport weight decide whether the crane can reach the work point at all. Compact 1.2-2 t models fit through a single doorway, mid-range 3-5 t models need roughly a double-door width, and heavy 8-16 t units are trailer machines.

A spider crane is a compact crawler crane with folding outriggers that stabilizes itself in confined spaces. It is widely used for glass and steel installation, indoor plant maintenance, rooftop work and any site where a truck crane cannot enter. The GSC series folds narrow enough to pass through standard doorways.
If access is narrow, the ground is load-sensitive, or the job is indoors, a spider crane wins on size, weight and setup speed. If you need to lift very heavy loads at long radius or travel quickly between open sites, a truck-mounted mobile crane is more efficient. Many contractors use a spider crane to feed materials where the big crane cannot reach.
The GSC series spans compact, mid-range and heavy-duty models, from doorway-width mini units up to double-digit tonne class machines. Rated capacity depends on working radius and outrigger position, so each model page lists the full load chart. Tell us your heaviest load and required radius, and we will recommend the right model.
Yes. Spider cranes are designed for indoor and sensitive-floor work: non-marking rubber tracks spread the load, compact dimensions fit through doors, and electric or dual-power options eliminate exhaust fumes. Always verify floor load capacity and door dimensions against the machine data sheet before the job.
Compact models travel on a small trailer or inside a van and can be unloaded by one person. On site, the outriggers deploy and level the crane in minutes, and the boom is operated by radio remote control, allowing the operator to stand at the safest viewpoint during the lift.
Yes. GSC spider cranes are built to European machinery directives and supplied with CE documentation, load test reports and English operation manuals, supporting import registration in the EU, Middle East, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
