What Is the 5 Ton Spider Crane

The 5 Ton Spider Crane (Model RM5.0) is a diesel-powered mini crawler crane rated for 5-ton lifting capacity with a 16m (4-rope) lift height, part of RisenMega's 1–16 Ton spider crane series. Retractable spider outriggers fold to pass through standard doorways and expand for stable lifting on uneven ground, while a dual-speed hydraulic winch and travel system add precision for heavier, higher-reach jobs that a standard mobile or crawler crane cannot access.

Dual-Speed Winch & Travel System

Compared to the smaller RM2.0 and RM3.0, the RM5.0 runs a two-speed hydraulic winch and a two-speed travel drive, letting the operator switch between a slow setting for precise positioning and a fast setting for general hoisting or repositioning.

Technical Specifications

The 5 Ton Spider Crane delivers a 16 m (4-rope) lift height, a 14.8 m maximum working radius rated at 0.5 t, 360° slewing (120 sec full rotation), and a 6800 kg machine weight, powered by a YN25GB 37 kW or 4TNV88 27 kW diesel engine, with an optional diesel configuration also available.

Key Features and Design

Standout features include manual-rotation outriggers with automatic support leveling, a 360° rotary turntable (0–360°, 120 sec) with wireless remote control (100 m range), a dual-speed hydraulic winch and travel system, an AC electric motor (YE2-160L-6), and a Q355D high-strength steel frame.

• Manual-rotation outriggers with automatic support, extending to a 5600/5560/5000 mm side/front/rear working footprint
• 360° rotary turntable (0–360°, 120 sec) with wireless remote control (100 m range)
• Dual-speed hydraulic winch (6/11 m/min) and dual-speed travel (0.8/2 km/h)
• Diesel engine options — YN25GB 37kW or 4TNV88 27kW — with an optional diesel configuration
• Q355D high-strength steel frame construction

Safety Systems

The crane includes seven built-in safety devices — a torque limiter, anti-rollover device, interlock, hook overwinding device, overload alarm limiter, tri-color alarm light, and emergency stop button — intended to guard against overload, uncontrolled descent, and operator error on confined job sites.

• Torque limiter
• Anti-rollover device
• Interlock
• Hook overwinding device
• Overload alarm limiter
• Tri-color alarm light
• Emergency stop button

RM2.0 vs RM3.0 vs RM5.0: Which Spider Crane Fits Your Job

RisenMega's spider crane series spans 1 to 16 tons. The table below compares the RM5.0 with the smaller RM2.0 and RM3.0 models — choose based on the lift height, working radius, and load your job requires. For projects that need more than 5 tons of capacity, ask about the larger models in the series.

Applications: Where the 5 Ton Spider Crane Is Used

Typical uses include high-reach indoor lifting for renovation and steel erection, glass and curtain-wall installation on taller floors, heavy HVAC and mechanical equipment placement, and warehouse or factory maintenance — any job where headroom, doorway width, or floor loading rules out a wheeled crane or a larger crawler crane, but the load or lift height exceeds what a 2 or 3-ton spider crane can handle.

• High-reach interior renovation and steel-frame lifting
• Glass and curtain-wall panel installation on multi-story builds
• Heavy HVAC unit and mechanical equipment placement
• Warehouse, workshop, and factory maintenance work
• Landscaping and courtyard jobs needing longer boom reach

Price, Lead Time, and Customization

Final price depends on the diesel engine option, control system (manual or remote), outrigger customization, and order quantity, so there is no single fixed list price. Lead time depends on current production load and how much customization is requested — confirm both with sales before ordering.
