Guide to UNIC Spider Crane Lifting Accessories
Searcher hooks and fly jib boom attachments for our UNIC mini spider cranes are able to increase the lifting height and working radius of our cranes for taking on challenging jobs in restricted access areas. These lifting accessories are useful for difficult lifting jobs. A searcher hook can help with installation work around overhangs and soffits, whilst a fly jib extension gives a spider crane extra reach to access difficult areas on site. Read on to find out more…
A searcher hook can be used to lift in areas where there is low headroom or if when a load needs to be installed close to a ceiling or overhead obstacle such as a soffit or balcony. This attachment has a hook end fixed onto a crane’s boom which is ideal for suspending a vacuum lifter or other below-the-hook equipment.
Searcher hooks can be set at 20° intervals to ensure precise placement of a load, like on this job glazing a hospital atrium where a 500kg searcher hook was used with a UNIC URW-506 mini crane. This searcher hook can also used with a URW-376 crane.
Fly Jibs By adding a fly jib extension onto the main boom of a UNIC mini crane, loads can be easily lifted to a greater working radius and moved over rooftops and high balustrades. 
For example, this 1000kg fly jib was used with a UNIC URW-1006 crane to lift and lower circuit breaker silencers up and over 16 metre height overhead power lines at a National Grid substation in the UK. This fly jib increases the lifting height of the URW-1006 model to 30.7 metres.
