From construction work to natural resource development,
the applications for MAEDA Mini Cranes are limitless
Curtain Wall Installation
MULTIPURPOSE USES: Â
Service elevators can transport mini cranes to the upper floors of high-rise buildings where they can be used for installation works of outer walls, such as glass frames. This is achieved by hoisting the wire rope from above in several stages.
One of the most popular applications for mini cranes, these small but mighty machines can shorten construction periods and reduce costs by avoiding the use of expensive tower cranes for curtain wall installations.
Rooftop Work
Multipurpose Uses:
Lightweight mini cranes are able to be placed on rooftops from which they can lift materials from the ground. This work, normally carried out by tower cranes, can be performed by mini cranes without the need to block roads (required to facilitate bigger cranes).
This enables shorter construction periods and cost cuttings to be achieved. Mini cranes can be lifted up to rooftops easily by tower cranes or elevators.
Civil Construction
Multipurpose Uses:
Mini cranes are perfect for lifting construction materials at airports, train stations, dam construction sites, plus many more.
With their smaller stature affording them access to confined spaces, MAEDA mini cranes have been used during the construction of many world famous facilities.
Residential Construction
Multipurpose Uses:
Mini cranes are suitable for lifting material both inside and outside of residences. A specialty of MAEDA mini cranes is their ability to access from the edge of cliffs through to courtyards – a feat which bigger cranes simply cannot achieve.
Plant, Factory & Automotive
Multipurpose Uses: Â Â
Mini cranes are suitable for the maintenance of equipment, line replacement, and material lifting where overhead cranes are not available as well as for sites with limited space, such as factories, automotive manufacturers, and chemical plants.
Facility Equipment Installation
Multipurpose Uses: Â
Due to their greater accessibility, MAEDA’s mini cranes are often used for installing display panels, signs, and more at large commercial buildings, such as shopping malls, theaters, and stadiums.
Artwork Installation
Multipurpose Uses:
Museums and inner courts are areas with limited accessibility. MAEDA mini cranes are perfectly suited for artwork installation in these types of buildings.
With their smooth maneuverability, mini cranes make the handling of delicate artworks possible. Likewise, the power option of an electric motor makes them suitable to carry out indoor work as they don’t emit exhaust fumes.
Glazing Works
MULTIPURPOSE USES:
Another popular application for mini cranes is glazing works, particularly for indoor or otherwise confined spaces. By using vacuum glass handlers hung from the hook block or installed on a searcher hook, glass can be installed where required, even just beneath the roof. The MK knuckleboom series was created to produce more efficient glazing works.
Stonework
Multipurpose Uses:
The MAEDA mini crane originated out of a need for a machine that could access the extremely narrow passageways in graveyards.
Now, they are used for the installation of garden stones, grave stones, and monumental stones globally.
Power Stations
Multipurpose Uses:
Museums and inner courts are areas with limited accessibility. MAEDA mini cranes are perfectly suited for artwork installation in these types of buildings.
With their smooth maneuverability, mini cranes make the handling of delicate artworks possible. Likewise, the power option of an electric motor makes them suitable to carry out indoor work as they don’t emit exhaust fumes.
Oil & Gas Industry
MULTIPURPOSE USES:
Transporting a MAEDA mini crane to mining locations is made easy due to its small body. MAEDA mini cranes are used at oil rigs in the middle of jungles, at refineries, gas plants, mining facilities, as well as for resource development.
Tunnel/Underground
Multipurpose Uses:
Construction works in tight spaces, such as underground facilities, subway tunnels, underground roads, or water lines and electrical lines, are suited to a MAEDA mini crane due to their smaller stature and greater maneuverability.Â
Railway
Multipurpose Uses: Â Â
MAEDA mini cranes can be used for material lifting and maintenance from the side of the rail road as well as on the rail road.
Aviation Industry
Multipurpose Uses:
MAEDA mini cranes can aid dock maintenance and component replacement work on helicopters and airplanes. Their compact size means that they can even be flown to remote locations to undertake this work.
Military
Multipurpose Uses:
MAEDA mini cranes are used to perform maintenance work on military helicopters. Compact and lightweight, they can be easily transported to remote locations for use.
Forestry
Multipurpose Uses:
MAEDA mini cranes can be used to lift cut lumber even on mountains where access is difficult with hilly terrain and no paved surfaces.
Steel Erection & Building Construction
Multipurpose Uses:
MAEDA mini cranes excel carrying out steel erection works inside buildings and on rooftops, and for steel tower erection works.
Marine Construction, Ship Building
Multipurpose Uses:
Compact and light weight, MAEDA mini cranes play an important role during lifting works carried out at coastal locations, shipyards, and onboard ships.
RESTRICTED ACCESS
Maeda mini cranes excel in tight workspaces due to their four supportive outriggers, ensuring safe lifting even near obstacles like power lines. The LC/CC series' short tail swing is ideal for confined areas inaccessible to larger cranes.
UNEVEN GROUND
Mini cranes can access the most uneven ground due to their crawler tracks. These cranes can be balanced at a level position using the four outriggers. This feature enables them to even be used on stairs or other uneven ground.
LIMITED ACCESS
Our mini cranes' slim body width enables access indoors, through doorways and restricted areas, saving costs by avoiding road closures on construction sites and easily maneuvering in small spaces.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE
Maeda are conscious of striking the balance between meeting the demands of building a better future and reducing carbon emissions. Maeda strives for a sustainable future by offering safe, eco-friendly, and efficient electric-powered cranes.
