HTSC8.0 8-Ton Spider Crane for Tight Construction & Industrial Maintenance

The 8-ton spider crane is a self-propelled tracked crane designed for confined construction sites and industrial maintenance. With 17.5m lifting height, 16m working radius, dual diesel/electric power, and compact 5010x1600x2200mm dimensions, it maneuvers where standard cranes can’t reach.

Urban construction sites, indoor industrial facilities, and tight warehouse spaces present a consistent challenge: standard cranes are too large to access, and forklifts can’t reach the height or radius needed. The 8-ton spider crane solves this with a compact tracked design that fits through standard doorways and navigates confined spaces while delivering serious lifting capacity.

With an 8-ton maximum load capacity, this machine handles medium-scale construction tasks, industrial equipment installation, and maintenance work. The 5-section hexagonal fully automatic boom extends from 5m to 16.8m, with a maximum ground lifting height of 17.5m. At a 16m working radius, it still lifts 0.6 tons—useful for placing materials across obstacles or reaching beyond the machine’s footprint.

The spider-like outrigger design ensures stability on uneven ground, automatically leveling the machine for safe operation. The 0-360° continuous rotation and 0-78° boom angle give you full positioning flexibility without repositioning the machine. The tracked undercarriage features two-speed hydraulic drive (0-0.8km/h low, 0-2km/h high) with rubber tracks, suitable for indoor floors and outdoor job sites. The 20° gradeability handles moderate slopes and site transitions.

Power comes from a dual-system setup: a diesel engine (Yunnei YN27GBZ 58KW, Changchai 4G33TC, or Yanmar 4TNV98C) for outdoor job sites, and an electric motor (15KW, AC380V/220V/110V customizable) for indoor or emissions-sensitive environments. The 45L fuel tank supports extended outdoor operation. Control options include manual operation with remote control available, keeping the operator at a safe distance. For specialized tasks, optional attachments include a 3000mm fly jib (800kg capacity), vacuum glass lifter (200kg), and man basket.

What kind of jobs is this spider crane best suited for?
This 8-ton spider crane is ideal for urban construction sites with limited access, indoor industrial maintenance, warehouse installations, glass curtain wall installation, and landscaping projects with restricted space. Its compact footprint and outrigger stability make it suitable for working near existing structures.
How does the dual power system work?
The machine includes both a diesel engine for outdoor use and an electric motor for indoor or emissions-sensitive environments. You can switch between power sources depending on the job site. The electric motor runs on AC380V, AC220V, or AC110V (customizable), making it adaptable to different regional power standards.
What's the advantage of the spider-like outrigger design?
The outriggers extend outward in a spider-leg configuration, providing a wider stability footprint than the machine's base dimensions. This allows the crane to lift its rated capacity on uneven ground without needing a perfectly level surface. The automatic leveling system simplifies setup on rough terrain.
Can this crane be transported easily between sites?
Yes. The tracked undercarriage allows self-propelled movement at up to 2km/h. For longer transport, the compact dimensions (5010×1600×2200mm) and 7800kg weight fit on a standard flatbed trailer. The rubber tracks are suitable for driving onto transport vehicles.
What optional attachments are available?

Three main attachments are available:

  • Fly jib (3000mm) with 800kg capacity

  • Vacuum glass lifter with 200kg capacity

  • Man basket for personnel lifting (use with proper safety compliance)
