Whether lifting heavy parts, equipment, or servicing intricate components, mini cranes ensure safe and efficient operations, helping to minimize downtime and keep aircraft in top condition.

Civil Construction

Mini cranes are the perfect tool for lifting construction materials in tough environments such as airports, train stations, and dam sites, where space is limited and accessibility can be challenging. Their compact design enables them to reach tight spots that larger equipment can't, making them invaluable for large-scale construction projects. Whether lifting heavy materials into narrow work zones or assisting with complex installations, mini cranes provide the flexibility and precision needed to complete projects efficiently. They have been essential in the construction of some of the world’s most iconic and infrastructure-critical facilities, proving their versatility in civil construction.

Curtain Wall Installation

Mini cranes are a practical and cost-effective solution for installing exterior elements, such as glass frames on high-rise buildings. They can be easily transported to upper floors using service elevators, avoiding the need for road closures or large cranes. Once in place, mini cranes can lift materials in multiple stages from above, offering a more affordable alternative to tower cranes. This not only reduces construction costs but also shortens timelines by streamlining the installation process. Their precision and maneuverability make mini cranes especially valuable for curtain wall installations, ensuring smooth and efficient work even in the most challenging urban environments.

Facility Equipment Installation

Mini cranes are ideal for installing display panels, signs, and other fixtures in large commercial spaces such as shopping malls, stadiums, and theaters. Their compact size allows them to access tight or crowded areas where larger cranes cannot operate, while their precision ensures the safe and accurate placement of heavy or delicate equipment. Whether installing digital displays, mounting signage, or positioning structural elements, mini cranes provide an efficient, space-saving solution that streamlines the installation process and reduces the need for extensive setup, making them invaluable for facility equipment installation in complex, high-traffic environments.

Forestry and Landscaping

Mini cranes excel in challenging terrains, including mountainous areas with limited access and uneven surfaces. Their compact size and stability make them ideal for lifting heavy materials, positioning trees, and handling equipment in forestry and landscaping projects. Whether navigating rugged slopes or confined natural spaces, mini cranes provide the precision and versatility needed to get the job done efficiently.

Glazing Works

Mini cranes equipped with vacuum glass handlers—either suspended from the hook block or mounted on a searcher hook—make precise glass installation possible, even in hard-to-reach areas such as beneath roofs. Their compact design and precise handling ensure the safe and efficient placement of glass panels in high or confined spaces, making them an invaluable tool for glazing projects in modern construction.

Marine Construction and Ship Building

Compact and lightweight, mini cranes are essential for lifting operations in coastal areas, shipyards, and even aboard vessels. Their maneuverability allows them to handle heavy materials in tight or uneven spaces, making them ideal for shipbuilding, repairs, and marine construction. Whether installing components on decks or assisting with dockside maintenance, mini cranes provide efficient and reliable lifting solutions in challenging maritime environments.

Military

Mini cranes play a crucial role in military maintenance operations, particularly in servicing helicopters and other equipment. Their compact size and precision lifting capabilities make them ideal for use in hangars, airbases, and field environments, allowing for safe and efficient component replacement, repairs, and assembly. Whether supporting aircraft maintenance or handling heavy-duty military gear, mini cranes provide reliable lifting solutions for all of your defense operations.

Oil and Gas Industry

Mini cranes are invaluable in the oil and gas industry, providing reliable lifting solutions at oil rigs, refineries, gas plants, and mining facilities. Their compact size and powerful capabilities allow them to navigate tight, hazardous environments and handle heavy equipment with precision. Whether lifting pipes, machinery, or materials in confined spaces or on elevated platforms, mini cranes ensure efficient operations while enhancing safety and reducing downtime in these demanding sectors.

Plant, Factory and Automotive

Mini cranes are ideal for equipment maintenance, line replacement, and material lifting in places where overhead cranes aren't available or space is limited, such as automotive manufacturing plants, chemical facilities, and factories. Their compact design allows them to access tight, confined areas that larger cranes can't reach, making them perfect for lifting heavy components or conducting repairs on production lines. By providing efficient and precise lifting capabilities, mini cranes help improve workflow and minimize downtime, ensuring smooth operations in these high-demand industries.

Power Stations

In power stations, where power lines are often present and pose a significant safety risk, mini cranes are equipped with a computerized working range restriction feature. This advanced technology prevents the crane's boom from coming into contact with power lines during lifting operations, ensuring the safe and precise handling of materials. With this safety feature in place, mini cranes can perform maintenance, repairs, and installations in close proximity to electrical infrastructure without compromising worker safety, making them an essential tool in power station environments.

Railway

Mini cranes are highly effective for material lifting and maintenance tasks along railroads and directly on the tracks. Their compact size and maneuverability allow them to work in tight spaces, whether beside the tracks or in between them, handling heavy components like rails, ties, and signaling equipment. With the ability to access difficult areas without disrupting rail operations, mini cranes play a crucial role in ensuring smooth and efficient railway maintenance, repairs, and installations.

Rooftop Work

Mini cranes offer a highly efficient alternative to larger cranes for rooftop work, eliminating the need to block roads or disrupt traffic. Tasks typically performed by tower cranes can be handled by mini cranes, resulting in shorter construction timelines and cost savings. Their compact size makes them easy to transport to rooftops, where they can be lifted by tower cranes or service elevators. Once on the rooftop, mini cranes can handle delicate installations and heavy materials with precision. This helps in making them the perfect solution for urban construction projects.

Steel Erection and Building Construction

Mini cranes are ideal for steel erection tasks in various building types, including rooftops and steel framing installations. Their compact size and precision lifting capabilities allow them to maneuver in tight spaces where larger cranes can't reach, making them perfect for placing and securing steel beams, columns, and other structural components. Whether working indoors on steel framing or lifting materials to the roof of a building, mini cranes provide an efficient, cost-effective solution that speeds up the construction process while ensuring safety and accuracy.

Stonework

Mini cranes are widely used for the installation of gravestones, garden stones, and monumental stones, offering precision and efficiency in these delicate tasks. Their compact design allows them to access tight spaces in cemeteries, gardens, and historical sites, where larger equipment may not fit. Mini cranes ensure the safe lifting and positioning of heavy stone elements, minimizing the risk of damage while providing smooth, controlled placement. Whether for a personal memorial or a large-scale monument, mini cranes help make stonework projects quicker and safer, regardless of location.

Tunnel and Underground

Mini cranes are frequently used in tunnel and underground work, such as subway construction, underground roads, facilities, and utility lines like water and electrical systems, where space is limited. Their compact size and maneuverability make them perfect for navigating narrow, confined areas, allowing them to handle heavy materials, equipment, and installations with precision.
