Spider Crane Summer Maintenance Guide

The spider crane has a fully functional, compact body, hydraulic travel, a safety design that prevents incorrect operation, adaptability to rugged outdoor sites, and a U-shaped boom that can be extended.

Features

Compact Size: Spider cranes are known for their small footprint, allowing them to operate in tight spaces where larger cranes may have difficulty accessing.

Multiple Legs: These cranes often have four or more extendable legs that provide stability and support. The legs can be adjusted independently to accommodate uneven terrain.

Versatile Lifting Capabilities: Despite their small size, spider cranes can lift heavy loads, and many models come with telescopic booms for increased reach.

Remote Control: Some spider cranes are equipped with remote control systems, enabling operators to have a clear view of the lifting operation and make precise adjustments from a safe distance.

Indoor and Outdoor Use: Small spider cranes are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. They are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and renovation projects.

Glass Installation: Due to their precision and compact design, spider cranes are often employed in the installation of glass panels in buildings, especially in urban environments with limited space.

Confined Space Operations: Small spider cranes are ideal for lifting tasks in confined or restricted spaces where traditional cranes cannot operate effectively.

Rooftop Access: Their ability to access rooftops and upper floors makes spider cranes valuable for tasks such as HVAC unit installation, roofing projects, and other rooftop maintenance activities.

Sensitivity to Floor Load: Spider cranes are designed to minimize floor load, making them suitable for use in sensitive environments such as museums, art galleries, and historical buildings.

Ease of Transport: Most spider crawler cranes are designed to be easily transported to different job sites, often fitting through standard doorways or being towed on trailers.

Telescopic Boom: The telescopic boom of a spider crane allows it to reach heights and distances that might be challenging for other compact lifting equipment.

The high temperature and heavy rain in summer bring greater challenges to spider crane operations. With many years of experience in the field of crane equipment, we have developed spider cranes with excellent performance and adaptability to various working conditions. Good summer maintenance can not only extend the service life, but also ensure the safety and efficiency of operations.

♠Engine system maintenance: High temperature can easily increase the engine load of aerial work vehicles. Check the coolant level regularly and replace high-boiling-point coolant. Shorten the cleaning and replacement cycle of the air filter to ensure smooth air intake. Check the engine belt. If there is crack or looseness, replace it in time to avoid breakage.

♠Hydraulic system maintenance: High temperature reduces the viscosity of hydraulic oil. It is necessary to monitor the oil temperature and oil quality regularly. If the temperature is too high, discolored or emulsified, change the oil immediately. Clean the dust on the surface of the hydraulic oil tank to ensure good heat dissipation. Check the pipes and joints, and repair or replace aging and leaking parts in time.

♠Electrical system inspection: Rainy weather can easily cause the electrical system to get damp. Keep the battery surface dry, check the electrolyte level and add distilled water. Check the entire vehicle circuit, waterproof the joints, and avoid short circuits. Test the lights, horns and other equipment regularly to ensure normal use.

♠Body and tire maintenance: High temperature and ultraviolet rays accelerate the aging of the paint surface, and wax or coat it regularly for protection. Clean the spider crawler crane promptly after rain to prevent acid corrosion.

♠Safety device inspection: In complex summer working environments, ensure that the safety belts and safety locking devices are secure and the working bucket guardrails are intact. Regularly test emergency brakes and anti-rollover devices to ensure safe operation.
