LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT CRANE?
What Are Mini Crawler Cranes?
Mini crawler cranes are compact, track-mounted lifting machines engineered for maximum manoeuvrability and minimal footprint. With their spider-like outriggers and lightweight frames, these cranes can access areas that conventional equipment simply can't — through doorways, up stairwells or into courtyards with tight turning space.
Despite their size, these cranes deliver strong lifting performance. Capacities generally range from 1 to 10 tonnes, and most units are equipped with booms for vertical lifts or reach. Many models are also remote controlled, allowing operators to position loads safely in delicate environments like hospitals, shopping centres or heritage sites.
Applications and Benefits of Mini Crawler Cranes
Mini crawler cranes are essential in situations where space and surface conditions prevent the use of traditional cranes. Their compact design and remote operation make them ideal for:
- Glazing and facade installations
- Structural steel assembly in tight spaces
- Plant and equipment maintenance
- Rooftop HVAC installations
- Work inside shopping centres or commercial fitouts
Key benefits include:
- Ability to pass through standard doorways
- Track-mounted for low surface impact and stable manoeuvrability
- Ideal for indoor work, mezzanines and elevated platforms
- Compact footprint with minimal setup requirements
- Remote control operation for safer, more accurate lifting
With Crane Auction, you gain access to these niche machines via a focused platform that skips retail margins while maintaining quality and trust.
