Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the mini spider crane be used indoors?
A: Yes. Its electric drive mode is noiseless and zero-emission, which is especially suitable for indoor decoration, shopping mall setup, museum loading and unloading, and other environments that require quiet operation.
Q: What is the difference between the tracked mini crane and the regular model?
A: The tracked mini crane is equipped with rubber tracks, which are more adaptable and can work stably on grass, slopes, mud and other complex surfaces, and is widely used in gardening and mountain projects.
Q: How to choose the right model?
A: It is recommended to make a comprehensive evaluation based on the lifting weight, working height, site width and access dimensions. For indoor use on multiple floors, priority should be given to models with a width of less than 800mm and a lifting height of more than 12 meters.
Tips and Cautions
From practical experience, the efficient use of mini spider crane depends on two keys:
- Reasonable Leg Deployment: When deploying the legs, make sure the ground is level and use non-slip mats to avoid unstable support. The larger the angle of the legs, the more stable the equipment.
- Load Assessment and Command Coordination: It is recommended to simulate the lifting path before operation, and set up a person in charge of observation and command to ensure that the boom does not touch obstacles, especially in indoor or high-altitude environments.
In addition, regular checking of the hydraulic system, track tension, and remote control power is the basic operation to guarantee the long-lasting operation of the equipment.
