About us
Small crane.
Big standards.
Spider Cranes Southern is a new lifting business built around one exceptional machine and the people who run it. We do one thing, and we do it properly.
The thinking
One machine, chosen on purpose
- Why a spider crane?
- Because the South is full of lifts that don’t suit a big crane: terraced streets, listed buildings, back gardens, marinas, atriums. A spider crane goes where they can’t, lifts serious weight when it gets there, and leaves almost no trace.
- Why the Jekko SPX532.2?
- It fits the most capacity into the smallest package we could find: 3.2 tonnes, 17 m with the jib, 770 mm wide, and diesel or fully electric. One machine that says yes to more jobs.
- Why operated only?
- A spider crane is only as good as the person on the remote. Every hire comes with our operator, so you get someone who knows this exact machine inside out and cares how the job goes.
How we work
Four rules we lift by
- 01
Measure twice, lift once.
We check the chart, the route and the ground before we turn up. No surprises on the day.
- 02
Leave it as we found it.
Homes, gardens and finished floors get treated with respect. Boards down, mess cleared, drive swept.
- 03
Straight answers.
If it won’t go, we’ll say so, and usually suggest what will. No hard sell, no hourly padding.
- 04
Kit that’s cared for.
A clean, serviced, inspected machine every time. It’s the only crane we’ve got, so we look after it.
The name
Spider. Crane. Southern.
Our mark is the machine seen from directly above: four legs spread, boom out, exactly how it looks from a scaffold on a lift day. It’s a reminder that the whole job lives inside that footprint, and that we plan it to the millimetre.
