A 6 tonne capacity UNIC mini spider crane was used to help install an 18 metre long canopy to this outdoor shelter outside an office building in Lancashire, UK.
The 180kg fabric canopy roof was lifted into position by a UNIC URW-706 mini crane working at an 11 metre radius. Once the crane had been set up on a pathway in the courtyard it could start lifting the canopy up onto the 5 metre tall steel beams using a 12 metre long custom made beam to support the load.
The UNIC URW-706 model was chosen for this lifting task as it had the reach and capacity to install the canopy roof. One of our most popular mini cranes, the URW-706 is just 1600mm wide so can still fit through a standard sized double doorway.
