Large delivery of crawler spider cranes for landmark projects in the capital

Construction in dense urban areas and complex building architecture often make the use of conventional tower or mobile cranes either impossible or economically inefficient. That is why customers often opt for maneuverable and powerful spider cranes.

As part of a major contract for construction projects in Moscow, the following equipment has been shipped:

• 4 units of KB 3.0 mini-crawler spider cranes (compact, reliable machines designed for extremely confined spaces);
• 2 units of KB 8.0 mini-crawler spider cranes (powerful flagship models with increased lifting capacity).

The purchased equipment will perform key operations at all stages of facade and installation work:

1. Installation of large-format insulating glass units and jumbo glass panels, requiring pinpoint accuracy.
2. Positioning of cladding elements on curved and hard-to-reach areas of buildings.
3. Lifting and securing of structural frame components directly from the floor slabs of the levels under construction.

Crawler mini cranes combine the lifting capabilities of a jib crane with the compact dimensions of warehouse equipment.

Key advantages of the KB 3.0 and KB 8.0 models:

• Working on floor slabs: the tracked chassis evenly distributes the crane's weight, minimizing the point load on concrete slabs and finished surfaces. This allows the crane to be brought inside a building and lifted to the required floor using a freight elevator.
• Extendable outriggers provide reliable stabilization and allow the crane to be leveled even on stepped surfaces and slopes.
• The hydraulic system delivers smooth boom movement and precise load positioning, which is critical when handling fragile glass and expensive facade panels.
• Dual power options – diesel engine or electric motor (380 V) – enable use both outdoors and indoors.

Equipment supplied by VERTEX guarantees not only compliance with tight construction schedules, but also that all installation processes meet the highest safety standards.
