Lift Minicranes can help you make the most of fully battery operated and electrically powered equipment.

We are one of the largest hire companies for spider cranes based in the Midlands, with our equipment available to be delivered and collected anywhere in the UK. Hire mini cranes and lifting equipment with us and you’ll enjoy exceptional support.

Our small tracked cranes offer several advantages that make them a practical choice for various tasks.

One massive advantage is their manoeuvrability. Because of their compact size and tracked design, they navigate through tight spaces and rough terrain; this makes them suitable for construction sites with limited access or challenging landscapes.

Like our tracked carriers, they also distribute their weight evenly over a larger surface area. Unlike wheeled cranes, they can provide greater stability on soft or uneven ground.

Small but powerful equipment for your project in the UK.

Our mini cranes might be compact but they can come equipped with a variety of attachments and configurations, allowing them to perform a range of tasks such as lifting, loading, and material handling.

They’re perfect for tasks where precision is key. Hire our small tracked cranes and you’ll have precise control over lifting and positioning, making them ideal for tasks that require accuracy, such as placing heavy materials or components in tight spaces.

Our smallest mini crane to hire is the MAEDA MC104, which operates on LPG or petrol.

Thanks to its physical size when compact, it can even fit through a garden gate or doorway. This is a wonderful option for lifting in tight spaces due to its varying leg positions, and the remote control offers the operator more precision during a lift. It has a super-slim body and rubber tracks, with a multi-configuration outrigger option.

Despite its small size, the MC104 offers impressive lifting capabilities. It can lift heavy loads with precision and stability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including construction, maintenance, installation, and renovation projects.

It’s also easy to transport. The crane's compact design and low weight make it easy to transport to different job sites. It can be quickly loaded onto a trailer or truck and transported without the need for specialised equipment.

This crane is extremely easy to set up. This allows operators to start working quickly and efficiently, reducing downtime on the job site. With Lift Minicranes you can either use our experienced operators or use your own qualified staff.

Our model of the MC104 comes equipped with remote control functionality, allowing operators to control the crane's movements from a safe distance. This feature enhances safety by reducing the risk of accidents and injuries, especially when working in challenging or hazardous environments.

Our fleet also includes the powerful UNIC URW-506.

The URW-506 is designed to operate in tight spaces where traditional cranes might not be able to fit. Its compact footprint allows it to navigate through narrow aisles, doorways, and other confined areas, making it ideal for indoor construction projects or urban environments where space is limited.

Despite its small size, the URW-506 has a relatively high lifting capacity compared to its footprint. It can lift heavy loads vertically and horizontally, and its telescopic boom provides additional reach. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of lifting tasks, including glass installation, steel erection, machinery moving, and more.

Reduce the impact on sensitive ground.

Tracked cranes exert less ground pressure than wheeled cranes, which can be advantageous when working on sensitive surfaces or in environmentally protected areas.

Our hire prices for smaller cranes are also more cost-effective. For projects that don't require the lifting capacity of larger cranes, small tracked cranes can be a more cost-effective option in terms of both rental fees and operating expenses.

To sum up, the decision to hire a small tracked crane depends on the specific requirements of your project, including the site conditions, lifting capacity needed, and the nature of the tasks to be performed.

We also have tracked carriers available to hire.

Tracked carriers can traverse rough terrain more effectively than wheeled vehicles. They can handle mud, snow, sand, and other difficult conditions, making them ideal for military operations, construction projects, or exploration in remote areas.

They can also be modified for various purposes. Their versatility makes them valuable assets in diverse operations, which has meant they have become increasingly popular for construction projects.

Our tracked carriers can carry heavy loads, including equipment, supplies, or personnel. Their robust construction and powerful engines allow them to transport substantial payloads over long distances.

Tracked vehicles typically have a lower centre of gravity compared to wheeled vehicles, providing greater stability on uneven terrain. This stability is crucial for tasks such as engineering work, where precise movement is essential.

They can operate in various weather conditions, including rain, snow, or extreme heat, without compromising performance. This makes them reliable assets for missions in harsh environments.
