Mobile mini crane

[Brando CalPankian]

Has anyone had experience with tracked mini cranes, like the Spyder crane? 87' max height and 13k lift capacity is nothing to scoff at.

I’m interested !
How heavy?
Got any specs on size ?
Vendors?

Spyder crane is the brand I've found the most online. 81' based on this description.

I wonder what licensing you need for one. They look the size of a spider lift. A little wider so won't fit in all backyards but damn. Put in on the back of an f550 and have two extremely capable setups.

Edit: 18k pounds is a bit heavy for an f550. But an f650 flat deck equipment hauler could.

Check out Hoefelon c10

Wow that things is super compact. If it can fit more places but I lose a little reach I think I'd be okay with that. What a beast.

Isn't there a thread, with a lot of pics posted, somewhere on here? Feel like I've seen something, looked very cool. Could have been youtube.

I have played with the big Spyder Crane in Tulsa. Like 70’ of stick.

The company, (now operated by Save-A-Tree) has had it I think 14 years, it goes out every week.

Anybody know the curb weight of these units? Either I missed it or it’s not in the literature.

Canary tree service in Jacksonville was running one with a grapple saw for a while, but I have not seen updates. The owner used to post here frequently.

See I've been trying to find a grapple saw one. Either they're ridiculously heavy or a couple million dollars, lol. A hoeflon c10 with a grapple saw head would be magnificent

Jekko makes one

 

[Brando CalPankian]

Good to know. Their mini cranes seemed heavier (and wider) than the hoeflon. But if I could get a grapple saw attachment... Lol

Those jekkos are really capable but require a heavy duty truck and low boy to transport from what I saw on them
