Today, on Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD) 2025, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on the innovation, expertise, and essential role of the lifting industry, and how compact lifting solutions like UNIC mini spider cranes are redefining what’s possible in this space.
At UNIC Cranes Europe, we believe that great lifting isn’t always about size – it’s about precision, safety, and smart engineering. From navigating tight city spaces to lifting glass panels in high-rise buildings or operating on sensitive flooring, our mini cranes offer powerful performance in places larger cranes simply can’t go.
This year’s GLAD theme focuses on safety, sustainability, and attracting new talent to the sector. We support this mission by:
• Sustainable lifting: Our newest model, the UM445, combines powerful performance with environmentally friendly design. It runs on advanced battery technology, delivering strong lifting capacity and extended reach while keeping emissions and noise to a minimum. Perfect for modern construction sites that require both strength and a low environmental impact. Learn more about the UM445 here.
• In addition to the UM445, our ECO-UNIC mini spider cranes, including the ECO-095 and ECO-295, are powered by rechargeable 48V batteries, providing fume-free, low-noise operation perfect for sensitive environments like hospitals, shopping centres, and heritage sites.
• Put safety first: Every lift we plan prioritises best practices in risk management and operator training.
• Inspire the next generation: Compact lifting technology opens new possibilities and new career paths for engineers, operators, and innovators.
Whether it’s lifting through a tight doorway or tackling a tricky rooftop project, UNIC Cranes are proof that small machines can make a big difference. On this #GLAD2025, we celebrate not only our machines, but the people and partnerships that power every successful lift.
