OverviewMini crawler (spider) cranes of the YG series are designed for confined indoor, rooftop and restricted-access lifts where standard boom cranes cannot operate. Models cover lifting capacities from 3 t to 8 t and have compact transport dimensions to pass through single doors and freight elevators. Dual-power (diesel + electric) configurations and wireless remote controls enable low-emission indoor operation and reduced site labour.
Key Uses- Glass curtain-wall and panel installation using vacuum handling systems
- Indoor, underground and confined-space lifts where narrow clearances and low floor loads prevent conventional cranes
- Steel structure and rooftop installation where machine weight and compact transportability are critical
- Maintenance in municipal, airport and high-foot-traffic public zones requiring fast deployment and small footprint
Available Models Mentioned- YG-3 — 3 t
- YG-5 — 5 t
- YG-8 — 8 t
Configurations & Options- Power systems: standard dual-power (diesel + electric); optional region-specific engines and motor wiring for local voltage/frequency
- Accessories: auxiliary fly jibs (approx. 2–5 m) and work baskets (1.35 m or 1.8 m)
- Safety & controls: torque limiters with LCD displays, anti-tilt alarms, emergency stop, intelligent load/radius monitoring and wireless remote operation
- Operation modes: manual operation and manual walking standard; remote control and operator cabin options available on larger models
Shipping & Packaging Notes3‑ton units are commonly stocked and can be containerized efficiently: roughly 5–6 crated YG-3 units per 40HQ; fewer units fit per container for 5‑ton and larger classes.
Production & Lead TimeStandard 3‑ton models are often available for immediate dispatch. 5‑ton, 8‑ton and customised or painted units typically require a short production lead time (example: 5–7 days for some non-stock variants).

- YG-5: Capacity 5 t; Max working radius 14 m × 0.5 t; Max lifting height 16.8 m; Winch speed 12 m/min (4-rope); Rope Φ11 mm × 80 m; Boom 5-section pentagonal; Boom length 12.3 m / 54 s; Boom angle 0°–78° / 13 s; Slew 0–360° continuous / 38 s; Walking drive hydraulic / 0–2.5 km/h; Transport 5000 × 1500 × 1900 mm; Deadweight ~6,200 kg
- YG-8: Capacity 8 t; Max working radius 16.5 m; Max lifting height 18 m; Winch speed 12 m/min (4-rope); Rope Φ11 mm × 80 m; Boom 5-section pentagonal; Boom length 12.3 m / 54 s; Boom angle 0°–78° / 13 s; Slew 0–360° continuous / 38 s; Walking drive hydraulic / 0–2.5 km/h; Transport 5000 × 1600 × 2180 mm; Deadweight ~7,200 kg
Real Field CaseA 3‑ton dual‑power mini crawler solved an indoor lifting constraint where passage widths were ~1.1 m and floor loads were restricted. Electric plug‑in operation enabled zero‑emission indoor lifts, remote control reduced site labour and a fly jib allowed faster placement than larger crane alternatives. The case also highlights containerization efficiency for 3‑ton units.
FAQs- Crate & container guidance: crated YG-3 gross ≈ 3,200 kg; a 40HQ can fit roughly 5–6 YG‑3 units or about 2 YG‑5 units (illustrative)
