Mini Cranes For Sale

About Mini Cranes

Mini cranes are essentially small, lightweight versions of the larger all-terrain, crawler, knuckle boom, and carry deck/pick and carry cranes you’ll find for sale on CraneTrader.com. These diminutive cranes offer affordability, ease of transport, and the potential to fit through doorways and to work in confined spaces, while still lifting and moving impressive payload capacities of around 2 to 15 tons (1.8 to 13.6 metric tons) to considerable maximum lift heights of around 20 to 50 feet (6 to 15 meters).

Mini Cranes At Work

Mini cranes are available in crawler and wheeled models equipped with a crane component that typically lifts objects using hydraulics or one or more winches attached to hoist hardware or a lifting device. Crawler models provide good handling on the uneven terrain common to construction sites. Wheeled mini cranes travel on air-filled or solid rubber tires and are the preferred choice when working indoors or on flat, paved surfaces.

You’ll find mini cranes with a wide variety of control systems, including ground-level, joystick, and remote-control capabilities. You’ll also find these mighty mites with a range of power options that includes diesel, electric, battery, LPG (liquified petroleum gas), and dual power. Mini cranes commonly employ outrigger systems that enlarge their footprint and provide stability when lifting a payload, particularly on slopes or in difficult-to-reach locations. Some mini cranes include multiple outrigger positioning and safety systems.

Mini Crane Features

Most mini cranes don’t include an operator cab, instead providing ground-level or remote controls or a standing operator platform at the machine’s rear. Models with a cab may provide heating and air conditioning, storage compartments, a visibility-enhancing camera system, and a touchscreen display for monitoring performance. General mini crane features can include a front stabilizer bar, counterweights, LED lights, and compatibility with hooks and other lift and handling tools.

Mini Crane Applications

Mini cranes are used in industries such as aviation, auto manufacturing, indoor and outdoor construction, retail outlets, oil and gas refineries, and cargo ports to lift and lower materials, install glass and signs, perform rooftop work, change lighting, build curtain walls, and much more.
