A soft cable electric folding crane (often referred to as a “spider crane” or “electric davit crane”) is a versatile lifting solution designed for tight spaces where traditional forklifts or overhead cranes can’t reach.
Because it uses a flexible wire rope (soft cable) rather than a rigid hydraulic telescopic arm for the final lift, it offers better precision for vertical positioning.
Space-Saving Design: The “folding” aspect allows the crane to collapse into a compact footprint, making it easy to transport through standard doorways or store in a corner.
Electric Power: Unlike diesel-powered industrial cranes, these are usually battery or AC-powered. This makes them fume-free and perfect for indoor use (warehouses, workshops, or labs).
Soft Cable Precision: Using a winch and cable system allows you to lift items from deep pits or lower them over edges—something a rigid arm struggle with.
360° Rotation: Most models feature a swiveling base, allowing you to move loads horizontally without moving the entire unit.
Manufacturing：Loading heavy workpieces onto CNC machines or lathes.
Construction：Lifting glass panels or HVAC units on rooftops.
Marine： Small davit cranes on boats for lifting tenders or jet skis.
Automotive：Removing engines or positioning heavy EV batteries.
