Mobile platforms "spiders": construction, application

"Spiders" are classified as mobile platforms, which means that they do not have their own drive enabling them to move around the construction site or on the streets. Car trailers are used for their transport. Mobile platforms are eagerly used in difficult terrain: in densely built-up areas, with unstable ground, with a steep slope. These devices work well in such places due to their small size and weight. For this reason, they are also used indoors, for example for painting walls, servicing warehouses, repairing lighting.

Parameters such as boom reach, working height and lifting capacity are model-specific. The capabilities of these devices do not differ significantly from larger platforms, e.g. basket lifts. With the help of some mobile platforms, it is possible to perform works at heights of up to several dozen meters. Most often, one or two people fit in a spider's basket.
