YG tracked mini crane dual-power design
The YG tracked mini crane adopts a dual-power system with a diesel engine and an electric motor, integrating two independent power sources into one unit. The diesel engine delivers strong continuous power, ideal for long-hour and heavy-load outdoor operations. The electric motor drives the hydraulic system via an external power supply, enabling emission-free and low-noise precision lifting indoors.
Why choose dual-power design?
The core goal of the dual-power system is to solve the problem that a single power source cannot adapt to all working scenarios. It brings four major advantages:
- Indoor & Outdoor Use: Works outdoors with diesel power and indoors quietly with electricity, no equipment replacement needed.
- Eco-friendly & Compliant: Low noise under 75dB and zero exhaust, meeting CE, OSHA, and other regulations for sensitive areas.
- Cost Saving: Electric power costs less fuel. Less diesel runtime also cuts maintenance work.
- Reliable & Safe Operation: Two power sources back each other up to avoid work stoppages and risks.
Dual-power customization service
Choose YG, and you don’t need to deal with complicated issues like engine brand selection, emission compliance, voltage matching and safety certification. We provide one-stop customization services from power selection to factory pre-installation:
- Assemble engines in accordance with your specified brand and emission standards
- Customize motor windings to match the industrial voltage and frequency of target countries
- Equip complete electrical systems to meet local certification requirements (UL, CE, RCM, CCC, etc.)
- Complete joint commissioning of the dual-power system before delivery
Tracked mini crane with wide application
People often use the YG mini spider cranes to complete these tasks（Click to view real use cases）:
Interior renovation, rooftop work and municipal engineering
- Pain points: Standard cranes cannot pass narrow indoor doorways (800–900 mm wide). Heavy equipment may damage floors due to limited load capacity. Noise and exhaust also disturb the indoor staff.
- YG Solutions: Model YG-3 is only 980 mm wide, 2950 mm long and weighs 2700 kg. It easily goes through standard doorways and exerts low pressure on floors. A remote control is available for precise boom operation away from blind spots. Its hydraulic crawler travels at 0~2.5 km/h and climbs up to 25° (36% gradient), moving steadily over stairs and ramps.
Factory workshops: equipment lifting, mould replacement and overhead maintenance
- Pain points: Dense machinery and complex overhead pipes demand millimetre-level positioning in tight spaces. Low noise and zero emissions are required to avoid disrupting production.
- YG Solutions: YG-5 and YG-8 are fitted with 5-section pentagonal telescopic booms. YG-5 offers a maximum lifting height of 16.8 m and a working radius of 14 m (load capacity: 0.5 t). YG-8 reaches 18 m in height and 16.5 m in radius. The boom fully extends in 54 seconds and luffs from 0° to 78° in 13 seconds for fast overhead maintenance. Driven by hydraulic motors, the machine runs smoothly. The optional electric mode enables emission-free indoor operation.
Warehousing & logistics: accurate stacking and small container handling at ports
- Pain points: Forklifts cannot reach high shelves through narrow aisles. Compact container yards at ports need compact and flexible equipment.
- YG Solutions: YG-3 features 360° continuous slewing (60 seconds per full rotation) and a 4-rope hoisting speed of 0–8 m/min, adjusting lifting directions freely in narrow spaces. Its width is less than 1 meter with a small slewing radius. YG-5/8 slews faster at 38 seconds per circle with a hoisting speed of 12 m/min for higher efficiency. The 2.5 km/h travel speed ensures flexible movement inside yards.
Curtain wall installation: lifting large glass panels at height
- Pain points: Large glass panels weigh hundreds of kilograms and break easily. Lifting must be stable and shock-free on narrow exterior building platforms.
- YG Solutions: YG-5 can lift 0.5 t at a 14 m radius, and YG-8 maintains a strong load capacity at maximum radius. It uses 80 m-long φ11 mm steel wire ropes with a constant hoisting speed of 12 m/min. Hydraulic proportional control under remote mode enables fine adjustment to prevent glass shaking and collision. Independently adjustable outriggers adapt to uneven ground.
Basement construction: equipment transport through narrow passages
- Pain points: Basement entrances have ramps and low headroom, blocking ordinary cranes. Poor ventilation restricts diesel-powered equipment.
- YG Solutions: Folded YG-3 is just 1560 mm high and 980 mm wide, fitting into basements easily. Its 25° climbing ability handles common basement ramps. The optional dual-power electric motor (custom voltage for different regions) delivers zero exhaust for safe operation in enclosed underground spaces.
Film shooting: quiet operation without audio interference
- Pain points: Traditional diesel cranes produce loud noise. Vibration from electric machines will also be picked up by sensitive microphones.
- YG Solutions: In electric mode, YG spider cranes run with noise below 75 decibels. Low-noise pumps and shock-absorbing pipes are adopted in the hydraulic system. The crawler driven by hydraulic motors creates no gear impact noise. Operators can work remotely to minimize on-site disturbance.
Spider crawler crane structure
A typical spider crawler crane consists of three parts:
- Telescopic arm + 360° rotating table: precise positioning of goods, no blind spot coverage.
- Crawler chassis: adapts to muddy ground and slopes, with strong stability.
- Hydraulic outriggers: when working, the outriggers are unfolded, and the load-bearing capacity is doubled.
- Some models are also equipped with a remote control operation function, so the operator is away from the dangerous area, doubling the safety!
5 advantages of using a spider crane
- Flexible adaptation to narrow spaces. The compact body can pass through a 1-meter-wide passage and work freely in restricted areas such as indoors and on rooftops.
- The outriggers can be extended and retracted independently, and obstacles (such as wires and trees) can be avoided through “working radius optimization”.
- Efficient cost reduction. No need for large transport vehicles, you can go directly to the site, saving logistics time and costs.
- The dual power system supports silent operation, which is suitable for night construction or noise-sensitive areas.
- More safe and reliable. Outrigger ground protection, anti-tilt device, boom limit marking line + alarm, double insurance to ensure safe operation.
