In Makkah, Saudi Arabia, an important project is underway – the extension and decoration of the Haram Mataf, one of the most sacred sites in the world, where thousands of pilgrims gather daily. Spider Plus, a trusted dealer of UNIC Cranes Europe, is leading the lifting operations, ensuring that every task is completed with precision, safety, and respect for this holy place. With worshippers constantly moving through the Mataf, Spider Plus relies on the efficiency and reliability of UNIC’s spider cranes to carry out complex lifting work in a busy and sensitive environment.
Several UNIC cranes are being used for this project, including the URW 1006, URW 546, URW 547, URW 706, and URW 706-2. These compact yet powerful machines are designed to work in tight spaces, making them ideal for a site like this. One moment captured during the project shows the URW 1006 lifting a 6-meter by 60-centimeter GRC panel weighing 2.5 tonnes, high above thousands of praying pilgrims. This demonstrates not only the strength and precision of the crane but also the trust placed in its safe operation. In such a sacred and busy area, ensuring minimal disruption is key, and UNIC cranes are designed to work without interfering with the religious activities taking place below.
This project is a great example of technology and tradition working side by side. The UNIC cranes are helping to shape the future of Haram Mataf while maintaining the respect and care that such a significant site deserves. Their ability to lift and position materials safely and accurately plays a crucial role in keeping the project on track.
As the Haram Mataf extension progresses, every lift and every installation brings it closer to completion. The collaboration between Spider Plus and UNIC Cranes highlights how modern engineering can support important cultural and religious projects, ensuring that progress is made without compromising tradition.
