BGLift M240 Mini Crane

Mini cranes are compact, mobile construction vehicles that prominently feature a telescopic boom crane (or sometimes a folding knuckle boom crane) that can be used to lift, lower, and transport materials around a construction site. The crane portion of the machine typically lifts objects using hydraulic power or through one or more winches attached to hoist hardware or a lifting device.

Benefits Of Mini Cranes

The primary benefit of mini cranes is that they’re often small enough to fit through standard doorways. Mini cranes often feature outriggers that enlarge the footprint of the machine to stabilize it when lifting payloads. Most mini cranes do not include a cab for the operator to sit inside, but instead feature ground-level controls or a standing platform at the rear of the machine.

Types Of Mini Cranes

Mini cranes come in crawler or wheeled configurations. Mini crawler cranes rely on a pair of tracks, or “crawlers,” in lieu of wheels for moving from location to location. These tend to handle well on the uneven terrain that is common on construction sites. Mini cranes that move on air-filled or solid rubber tires tend to be used largely indoors or on paved and flat surfaces. Cranes with large outriggers are also often referred to as “spider cranes.”
