At UNIC Cranes, we pride ourselves on delivering reliable lifting solutions to projects across the globe. One such recent success story comes from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where our long-standing dealer, Spider Plus, played a vital role in the installation of GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete) panels using the powerful and compact UNIC URW-706 spider crane.
Known for their professionalism and deep understanding of lifting challenges in the construction sector, Spider Plus has once again demonstrated why they’re a valued and trusted partner for us in the UAE and wider Middle East region. Their expertise, combined with the advanced capabilities of the UNIC URW-706, ensured a smooth and efficient lift, even in the most restricted of spaces.
The Riyadh construction project involved the careful handling and lifting of GRC panels ranging from 400kg to 600kg. These panels measured 2m x 1.5m and 2m x 1.8m respectively – a challenging load in any setting, but particularly on a congested construction site. However, the URW-706 spider crane proved to be the perfect tool for the job.
Engineered for precision in tight spaces, the URW-706 offers an impressive lifting capacity of up to 6 tonnes yet retains the compact footprint that UNIC spider cranes are renowned for. Its robust outriggers provide excellent stability on uneven terrain, and its radio remote control allows for safe, fine-tuned operation from a distance – ideal for navigating delicate installations like GRC cladding.
Thanks to its unique combination of strength, reach and compact design, the URW-706 easily accessed narrow and confined areas that would have been impossible for a traditional mobile crane. This adaptability significantly enhanced onsite efficiency, allowing the installation team to position each GRC panel quickly, safely and with minimal disruption.
Spider Plus’ use of the UNIC URW-706 in Riyadh is another excellent example of how the right crane can make all the difference – not just in lifting performance, but in overall project success.
