With increasing policies throughout the UK, Europe and beyond UNIC Cranes Europe has prided themselves on their environmentally friendly mini cranes which they first introduced to the market in 2013. These cranes, powered by rechargeable batteries, offer a range of benefits for various sensitive environments. In this blog, we’ll explore the top 5 benefits of UNIC Eco mini spider cranes and how they can benefit your construction projects.
1. Zero Emissions for a Cleaner Environment
The ECO-UNIC series, including the ECO-095 and ECO-295 models, are powered by a 48-volt rechargeable battery, eliminating diesel emissions. This makes them ideal for indoor and outdoor tasks in areas where air quality is a priority, such as food processing facilities, historic buildings, airports, and even cruise ships. By choosing UNIC’s zero-emission cranes, you contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of your construction projects.
2. Versatility Across Various Terrains
UNIC’s eco-friendly mini cranes are available in both tracked (CBE) and wheeled (WBE) versions. The tracked versions excel in navigating tough terrain and uneven surfaces, maintaining the same environmental benefits as their wheeled counterparts. On the other hand, the wheeled versions come with low marking tyres, perfect for delicate floor surfaces in shopping centres, galleries, and hospitals. This versatility ensures that you have the right crane for any environment without compromising on eco-friendliness.
3. Compact Design for Easy Access
With a total width of just 0.75 metres, the ECO-UNIC mini cranes are designed to fit through standard double doorways, allowing them to access confined spaces where larger cranes cannot. Despite their compact size, these cranes boast impressive lifting capacities of up to 2.9 tonnes (eco-295) and a maximum working radius of 8.41 metres. This combination of compactness and power makes them essential for projects with limited space.
4. Advanced Safety Features
Safety is the most important thing to consider in any lifting operation, and UNIC Eco mini cranes are equipped with cutting-edge features to ensure secure operations. The multi-position configurable outriggers and operator control of outrigger extension provide optimal stability, even on uneven terrain. The intelligent voice warning system offers real-time audio alerts, enhancing situational awareness and enabling operators to respond quickly to potential issues. Additionally, the preliminary stability warning system with motion cut detects instability and automatically stops the crane’s movement to prevent accidents.
Further enhancing safety, the radio remote control allows operators to control the crane from a safe distance, ensuring precise manoeuvring while keeping operators out of harm’s way. The working area limitation and optional slew limitation (Eco-295) prevent the crane from moving beyond predefined boundaries, reducing the risk of collisions in confined spaces. These advanced safety features ensure that every lifting operation is conducted with the highest level of safety and precision.
5. Efficiency and Precision in Operation
UNIC’s Eco mini spider cranes are designed to deliver high efficiency and precision. The radio remote control allows operators to manoeuvre the crane with ease, ensuring precise placement of loads even in tight spaces. The intelligent voice warning system and preliminary stability warning system provide constant feedback, allowing for quick adjustments and smooth operations. This level of control not only enhances safety but also improves the overall efficiency of lifting tasks.
UNIC Cranes Europe’s eco-friendly mini spider cranes offer zero-emission power, versatility, compact design, advanced safety features, and operational efficiency.
