On August 25, 2020, Henan Haitai delivered a 0.5 ton SPT299 spider crane, rated to a 12-meter maximum lifting height, to a forklift sales and service company in Turkey. Manufactured by Henan SPT Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., the compact tracked machine uses four hydraulic spider legs and a telescopic boom to lift engines, transmissions, and heavy attachments inside a workshop where a standard mobile crane can not maneuver — narrow enough to pass through a doorway, yet still rated to reach a full 12 meters overhead.
Project Overview
A forklift dealer’s workshop is a hard environment for lifting equipment: engines and transmissions come out at odd angles between narrow bay doors, mast assemblies need to be lifted vertically in aisles too tight for a truck-mounted crane, and floor space is already taken up by machines waiting on repair. That was the starting point for this order.
On August 25, 2020, Henan Haitai delivered a 0.5 ton SPT299 spider crane to a Turkish forklift company, built by Henan SPT Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. and supplied through Haitai’s export channel. The crane’s four independently adjustable spider legs give it a stable base on the workshop’s paved yard and inside its bays, while its rubber crawler track lets it cross uneven ground and thresholds that would stop a wheeled unit.
The delivery photos show the crane both set up and working at the customer’s yard in Turkey — boom extended and hook loaded in one, legs planted and boom raised beside the customer’s other equipment in the other.
What Makes a Spider Crane Fit a Forklift Workshop?
Forklift companies handle a narrower range of lifting jobs than a general construction site, but the ones they do face — pulling an engine, swapping a mast cylinder, moving a counterweight — often happen in spaces built for forklifts, not cranes.
A 0.5 ton spider crane is sized for exactly that gap. Its retracted width is narrow enough to travel through a standard workshop door, and its spider-leg outriggers fold in for transport, then extend out to a wide, stable footprint once the crane is positioned over the job.
That combination — narrow travel width, wide working stance — is what a wheeled mini crane or a fixed shop crane can not offer at the same time.
Capacity matters less here than reach and control. At 0.5 tons, the SPT299 is not built to lift a forklift chassis; it is built to lift the components that come off one — an engine block, a hydraulic pump, a mast weldment — precisely enough to set them down on a bench or load them onto a truck.
The 12-meter maximum lifting height covers work above a mezzanine or a tall storage rack, which a shop-floor gantry or engine hoist can’t reach.
SPT299 Spider Crane Turkey: Key Specifications
The SPT299 is a tracked, remote-controlled spider crane built around a telescopic boom and four hydraulically operated spider legs, each adjustable independently to level the crane on uneven or sloped ground. Rated lifting capacity is 0.5 tons, with a maximum lifting height of 12 meters as the boom extends — like any telescopic crane, the safe working load drops as the hook moves further from the base, so the operator works from the crane’s load chart rather than the headline capacity alone.
The crawler track gives the unit traction on gravel, packed earth, and paving without marking floors the way a wheeled lift might, and the whole machine folds down to a footprint that clears a standard doorway for indoor positioning. Operation is handled by wireless remote control, so the operator can stand clear of the load and adjust the boom, legs, and hook from a safe vantage point rather than from a fixed cab.

Built by SPT, Delivered by Haitai
The SPT299 in this project was manufactured by Henan SPT Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., a spider crane specialist, and delivered to the Turkish customer through Henan Haitai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.’s export and logistics channel. That split — a dedicated manufacturer building the machine, a separate export partner handling documentation, shipping, and customer communication — is common in China’s crane supply chain, and it is worth knowing as a buyer: warranty and technical support run through the manufacturer, while shipping schedule, paperwork, and pre-delivery coordination run through the supplier. For this order, the crane left the SPT factory, was staged and photographed before loading, and reached the customer’s Turkish workshop on August 25, 2020.

Buying a Spider Crane for a Workshop Like This
A buyer evaluating a similar purchase should size the crane to the job it will do most often, not the heaviest thing it might someday lift. A 0.5 ton spider crane is the right scale for engine and component work, not for lifting whole machines — for that, a heavier-capacity spider crane or a different equipment class is the better fit. Worth confirming before ordering: the crane’s stowed width against your narrowest doorway, the load chart at the radius you will actually work at, and whether remote-control operation suits your team’s training, since it changes how the job is run compared with a cab-operated crane.
Conclusion to Spider Crane Exported to Turkey
Delivered to a Turkish forklift company on August 25, 2020, this SPT299 spider crane fills a specific gap — lifting workshop components in spaces too tight for a wheeled crane and too tall for a shop hoist. Manufactured by Henan SPT Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. and supplied through Henan Haitai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., it is a reminder that the right lifting equipment for a workshop often is not the biggest crane available, but the one sized to fit through the door.
Perguntas frequentes
Q1. What is a spider crane used for?
A spider crane is a compact, tracked lifting machine with extendable outrigger legs, used for lifting jobs in tight spaces, uneven ground, or locations a wheeled crane or truck-mounted crane can not reach — workshop and indoor lifting, landscaping, and confined-site construction are common applications.
Q2. What does 0.5 ton and 12m mean for the SPT299 spider crane?
0.5 tons is the crane’s rated lifting capacity at its working radius, and 12 meters is the maximum height the boom can lift a load to. As with any telescopic crane, the safe working load decreases as the boom extends outward, so both figures should be read together with the load chart rather than as a single combined spec.
Q3. Can a spider crane like this fit through a standard doorway?
Yes — with its outrigger legs folded for transport, the SPT299’s stowed width is narrow enough to travel through a standard workshop or warehouse doorway, which is one of the main reasons a forklift service company would choose it over a wheeled mini crane.
Q4. Who manufactures the SPT299 spider crane, and who supplied this unit to Turkey?
The SPT299 is manufactured by Henan SPT Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. This unit was delivered to the customer in Turkey through Henan Haitai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.’s export channel, which handled shipping, documentation, and customer coordination for the order.
Q5. What kind of business uses a 0.5 ton spider crane?
Workshops and service operations that need to lift components rather than whole machines. The Turkish customer in this case is a forklift sales and service company that uses the crane for engine, transmission, and attachment work inside its facility, but the same size and configuration suits general machinery workshops, glass and window installation, and similar confined-space lifting jobs.
