What Kind of Work Does This Russian Customer Use the Crawler Spider Crane For?
- The crawler spider crane they purchased has proven to be very useful. During rural house construction, it allows them to precisely lift prefabricated panels and steel beams in tight yards, eliminating the need for repositioning larger equipment. 2. During forestry maintenance, it can reach deep into the woods and safely transport felled timber to the roadside, eliminating the need for manual handling.
- During municipal maintenance, it can easily lift streetlights and billboards on narrow streets without disrupting the flow of surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. Regardless of the task, the equipment is stable and easy to operate, greatly improving work efficiency.


Economic Benefit Analysis of Using YG’s Mini Tracked Crawler Crane in Russia
- Before purchasing the spider crane, the client had to rent a large crane, which not only cost a lot of money but also required waiting for the equipment to be available, often delaying the project. By switching to their own mini tracked crawler crane, they no longer have to pay for rentals and can use it whenever they want, with control over their schedules.
- The equipment has very low fuel consumption, making daily expenses much lower than renting equipment.
- Maintenance is also simple: simply cleaning the tracks and checking the engine are sufficient, eliminating the need for high maintenance costs. Long-term use is much more cost-effective than renting equipment, allowing you to take on more work and making money easier.


Why Are Spider Cranes so Popular with Russian Customers?
- Russian winters are extremely cold, and the ground easily freezes. Many equipment struggles in such conditions. However, spider cranes have wide crawler belts and strong grip, preventing slipping on icy surfaces, making winter work safer.
- Their compact size makes them easy to fit into small rural yards and forest paths, unlike larger equipment that is restricted by space.
- They are also freeze-resistant, allowing the engine to start normally even in temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero, eliminating the need for preheating.
- YG also provides Russian-language manuals and quick after-sales response, ensuring prompt resolution of any issues, making them a worry-free experience for customers.
