In residential housing and custom timber frame house building, moving heavy wooden beams indoors and positioning them with pinpoint accuracy is a constant bottleneck. Recently, our team at LIFTSGLT loaded up a machine from our Katy Support Center and headed over to a local wood processing facility in the Houston area for a hands-on, live demonstration.
High temperatures, heavy downpours, and severe dust are the trademarks of midsummer. These harsh conditions frequently trigger critical equipment failures, including engine overheating, hydraulic fluid thermal degradation, and electrical short circuits due to moisture. Implementing a strict seasonal maintenance routine for your LIFTSGLT spider cranes is paramount. It is the single most effective way to eliminate costly downtime and maximize the service life of your fleet.
If you're planning to invest in a mini crawler crane, one of the first questions is simple: how much does it cost?

In this guide, we break down real price ranges, what affects the cost, and how to choose the right model for your project.
When operating lifting equipment in confined or complex job sites, safety is not optional—it’s critical. One of the most important safety features in modern mini crawler cranes is the Load Moment Indicator (LMI) system.
