Why are mini cranes a good solution for you?

  • Small and maneuverable to drive around.
  • Lighter than your average crane so they can travel on smaller barges to remote islands.
  • Drive on tank tracks. They can traverse rough, uneven terrain that not even your car or pickup truck can travel on.
  • They have an amazing amount of lifting power for such a small machine.
  • Knuckle crane versions of the mini cranes are highly maneuverable.
