A crawler crane is a tracked lifting crane designed for heavy loads, difficult ground conditions and long-term lifting operations. Its tracked undercarriage spreads weight more evenly than wheeled cranes, helping provide greater stability on challenging sites.
Crawler cranes are commonly used for steel erection, bridge works, industrial installation, renewable energy, civil engineering and other specialist lifting projects where capacity, reach and site conditions are critical.
Ideal for heavy structural components, plant installation and major infrastructure lifts.
Tracked undercarriages provide strong stability on difficult ground and large working areas.
Crawler cranes can move around site more effectively than many conventional lifting solutions.
Well suited to projects requiring repeated lifts over extended programmes.
Structural steel installation, precast concrete lifting and major building works.
Bridge works, tunnels, flood defence and large infrastructure projects.
Wind turbine installation and lifting works on energy infrastructure projects.
Heavy plant placement, machinery installation and factory or process equipment lifting.
Refinery, power station and heavy industrial lifting applications.
Marine construction, quay developments and coastal infrastructure projects.
Railway infrastructure, transport hubs and specialist access lifting operations.
Complex engineered lifts requiring high capacity and specialist crane configurations.
| Crane Type | Typical Capacity | Boom Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Crawler Crane | 1–10 tonnes | Telescopic | Internal works, glazing, cladding and restricted access lifting |
| Compact Crawler Crane | 10–50 tonnes | Telescopic | Utilities, rail, construction and confined site lifting |
| Telescopic Crawler Crane | 40–220 tonnes | Telescopic boom | Bridge works, rail infrastructure and general construction |
| Lattice Boom Crawler Crane | 100–750 tonnes | Lattice boom | Heavy construction, steel erection and infrastructure projects |
| Heavy Lift Crawler Crane | 750–3,000+ tonnes | Lattice boom / specialist attachments | Wind farms, petrochemical projects and major engineered lifts |
