How much space does a 5-ton spider crane need with its outriggers extended, and can it operate stably in confined spaces?

Outrigger extension and required space

The Onchtech 5-ton spider crane has a machine width of 1.5 m and a maximum outrigger extension of 5,800 mm. However, the 5,800 mm figure does not represent the complete outrigger footprint and should not be treated as the total space required for setup.

Stability in confined spaces

Stable operation in a confined space cannot be confirmed from machine width or maximum outrigger extension alone. Site suitability depends on:

• Site clearance: Check the available space against the outrigger layout drawing.
• Ground bearing capacity: Assess the ground conditions at the intended setup location.
• Lifting conditions: Check the intended lifting operation against the applicable load data.

Before confirming that the crane can operate stably at the site, verify the outrigger layout drawing and applicable load data together with site clearance, ground bearing capacity and lifting conditions.
