Customer Requirements
- Extremely limited space: The construction area is in the old town with narrow streets, where traditional truck cranes cannot enter at all.
- Frequent high-altitude work: It is necessary to repair and decorate church domes and facades, and worker safety is the top priority.
- Difficult material transportation: Construction materials such as glass and steel need to be vertically transported to roofs and floors.
- Sensitive ground: Some working areas are courtyards with floor tiles, which may be damaged by heavy equipment.
The customer urgently needed equipment that could enter narrow passages, provide sufficient lifting capacity, and not damage the ground. After many comparisons, they chose the spider crawler crane.
Why Choose YG Mini Tracked Crawler Crane?
After detailed communication and technical comparison, the customer finally chose YG Machinery for the following reasons:
- Ultra-compact design: The YG-3 has a total width of only 980mm, easily passing through standard doors and narrow tunnels, enabling flexible operation in crowded areas such as rooftops, indoors and shopping malls.
- Strong lifting capacity: Despite its small size, the YG series adopts a pentagonal boom structure and hydraulic drive system. The lifting capacity of 3 to 8 tons fully meets most hoisting needs on construction sites.
- Ground protection: The rubber crawler travel gear has low ground pressure, will not damage indoor floors with floor tiles or wood, and is very suitable for sensitive sites.
- Safe and convenient operation: Controlled by wireless remote control, workers can stay away from the hoisting point to observe operations. Hoisting, telescoping, luffing and rotation are all hydraulically driven, with stable and reliable movement. We recommended this mobile spider crane to the Mexican customer, which perfectly fits their working conditions.


Actual Application of Mini Tracked Crawler Crane in Mexico
After arriving at the site, the equipment was quickly put into various operations:
- Church dome maintenance: The YG-3 entered the church through a narrow side door, used telescopic outriggers to support stably without touching seats, and safely delivered workers and materials to the 10-meter-high dome for painting restoration.
- Glass curtain wall installation: In the commercial street renovation, the small crawler crane for sale was responsible for hoisting large glass to the three-story facade, with accuracy far exceeding manual hoisting.
- Roof equipment transportation: In the renovation of old town houses, the equipment was disassembled and transported to the roof through stairwells. After reassembly, air conditioning units and solar panels were hoisted into place.
- Narrow tunnel operation: In tunnels less than 3 meters wide, the spider crane rotated 360 degrees flexibly, delivering steel bars, cement and other building materials to the backyard construction site.
Customer Feedback on Mini Tracked Crawler Crane
After the project was completed, Mr. Carlos, the person in charge of the Mexican customer, sent his experience: “This mini tracked crawler crane can enter elevators and pass through narrow doors, and operators can complete precise hoisting via remote control. The YG technical team also customized a moment display and fly jib for us according to our needs. The service is very thoughtful.”

Daily Maintenance Tips for Spider Crawler Crane
To ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment in Mexico’s hot climate, we provided the following maintenance suggestions:
- Crawler cleaning: Clean sand and gravel on the rubber crawlers after each operation to prevent wear on the driving wheels.
- Hydraulic system inspection: Check the hydraulic oil level and pipeline joints every week, and handle leaks in time to avoid dust contamination.
- Wire rope maintenance: Lubricate the hoisting wire rope monthly and check for broken wires or wear – this is the safety lifeline for high-altitude work.
- Battery maintenance: Disconnect the negative terminal when not in use for a long time, and charge regularly to prevent damage from power loss.
- Outrigger lubrication: Regularly grease the telescopic parts of the outriggers to ensure smooth deployment and stable support.
- Remote control protection: Prevent the wireless remote control from impact, put it in a protective box after use to avoid shell aging caused by strong sunlight in Mexico.
