Find the Right Model for Your Project

Why An Indoor Spider Crane Solves Difficult Lifting Problems
Many construction projects happen inside completed buildings.
Traditional cranes cannot enter elevators, shopping malls, factories, or underground facilities.
Compact mini cranes solve these challenges.
Typical applications include:
- Glass curtain wall installation
- Steel structure assembly
- Factory equipment installation
- Shopping mall renovation
- Museum construction
- Hospital projects
- Airport terminals
- Subway stations
- Mechanical maintenance
- Stone installation
The compact body passes through narrow entrances.
Hydraulic outriggers provide excellent stability after positioning.
The machine also minimizes floor damage because of its relatively low ground pressure.
Many contractors choose this solution when working inside high-value buildings.
Electric Spider Crane Creates Cleaner And Quieter Job Sites
More contractors now require environmentally friendly lifting equipment.
Electric power offers several practical advantages.
Key benefits include:
- Zero local emissions
- Lower operating noise
- Reduced maintenance
- Suitable for enclosed spaces
- Lower energy consumption
- Stable operating performance
These advantages make it ideal for hospitals, shopping centers, laboratories, food factories, office buildings, and public facilities.
Many customers also select hybrid configurations to maximize flexibility between indoor and outdoor projects.


Real Project Case: Shopping Mall Glass Installation In Australia
A glass installation contractor from Melbourne contacted YG Machinery during a commercial renovation project. The customer needed to install more than 600 glass panels inside a newly constructed shopping mall. The working space was extremely limited. Large truck cranes could not enter the building, while forklifts lacked sufficient lifting height and precision.
After reviewing the project drawings, YG Machinery recommended the YG-5 spider crane with electric power. The machine entered through standard access doors and moved easily between installation areas. Hydraulic outriggers ensured stable lifting while protecting the finished flooring. The precise boom control allowed workers to position heavy glass panels safely without repeated adjustments.
The customer completed the installation ahead of schedule. Labor costs dropped significantly because fewer workers were required for each lifting operation. Equipment downtime remained minimal throughout the project. After completion, the contractor purchased another unit for future curtain wall projects and expanded its rental business with the same equipment.
