WB Services UK recently completed a specialist spider crane installation at a newly constructed rice processing facility, where precision, safety and careful planning were essential to the success of the project.
Working within a live industrial environment, our team was tasked with lifting and installing heavy plant equipment and structural steelwork inside the building. With restricted access, limited headroom and confined working areas, conventional lifting equipment simply wasn't suitable.
Our electric spider crane provided the perfect solution, delivering exceptional lifting performance while operating safely within the building.
The installation formed part of the construction of a new food production facility, requiring the safe positioning of large plant components within a restricted internal workspace.
Several challenges needed to be overcome, including:
The project demanded specialist lifting equipment capable of operating indoors without compromising on lifting capacity or manoeuvrability.
After assessing the site and project requirements, WB Services selected one of our fully electric spider cranes to complete the installation.
The compact design allowed the crane to be transported directly into the building before being set up in confined spaces that would be inaccessible to larger mobile cranes.
Working alongside the principal contractor, our experienced lifting team carried out the installation with complete control, carefully positioning the plant and steelwork to the required tolerances.
The electric spider crane provided several key advantages:
The installation was completed safely, efficiently and on schedule, with all plant and structural components successfully positioned ready for the next phase of construction.
By combining specialist lifting equipment with experienced operators and careful project planning, WB Services delivered a lifting solution that met the client's technical requirements while maintaining the highest standards of health and safety.
Projects such as this demonstrate why spider cranes continue to be the preferred solution for complex indoor lifting operations where access is limited and precision is essential.
