The picturesque city of Porto, known for its historic architecture and stunning riverside views, recently became the setting for a complex demolition project. In collaboration with Almovi, the trusted UNIC dealer in Portugal, the UNIC URW-506 mini spider crane played a crucial role in the careful dismantling of a granite-block building located between two existing structures.
Unlike standard demolition projects, this one required a solution that could navigate tight spaces while handling heavy materials. The structure, composed of solid granite blocks, needed to be dismantled stone by stone to prevent damage to the adjacent buildings. Each block was carefully secured with straps and lowered to the ground in a controlled manner, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency. The UNIC URW-506 mini spider crane was the ideal machine for the job, offering the perfect balance of power, precision, and compact design. With a maximum lifting capacity of 3 tonnes and a chassis that allows it to operate in confined areas, the URW-506 provided the necessary strength to lift and move heavy granite blocks whilst being sensitive to its surrounding areas.
The crane’s ability to extend its outriggers in multiple positions provided much-needed stability on the uneven terrain of the site. As an official UNIC dealer, Almovi brings expert knowledge, local experience, and an extensive range of lifting solutions to the Portuguese market. Their expertise, combined with UNIC’s advanced mini crane technology, ensures that even the most intricate lifting challenges can be tackled with efficiency and safety.
