Mini Cranes for Sale, Built for tight spaces & big spaces
Buy a Maeda mini crane and get a machine that folds down small enough to fit through a standard doorway, then opens up to lift real weight once it's in position. It works safely indoors, moves easily between floors and tight corners, and handles the access challenges a full-size crane simply can't take on.

A Crane Small Enough to Go Where Others Can't
A mini crane, also called a spider crane, is a small, lightweight crane built to work in spaces a normal crane could never fit into — narrow hallways, service elevators, rooftops, and finished indoor spaces. It stands on four folding legs called outriggers, which spread out for a stable base once it's in position, then fold back up so the crane can be moved through a standard doorway. Despite the small size, mini cranes can still lift a serious amount of weight, which is why they've become a go-to choice for glass installation, indoor fit-outs, rooftop work, and jobs in tight or hard-to-reach areas. Kanoo Cranes supplies genuine Maeda mini cranes, backed by full technical support after your purchase.
The Company That Invented the Mini Crane
Maeda built the world's first mini crane in Japan back in 1982, and the company has led the category ever since. Their cranes are known for a compact footprint, near-zero tail swing, and outriggers designed to steady the machine on almost any surface — even steps or uneven ground. Several Maeda models also come in fully electric versions, powered by lithium-ion batteries, which makes them a clean and quiet option for hospitals, malls, factories, and other indoor spaces where fumes and noise aren't an option. Kanoo Cranes supplies genuine Maeda mini cranes, with full local support included.
Choose the right mini crane with confidence
Define your lifting requirements
Check the weight, height, and reach your typical jobs call for, this decides which capacity range to look at.
Assess your project environment
Think about doorway widths, ceiling heights, and floor surfaces on your usual job sites, since access is often the main reason to choose a mini crane in the first place.
Choose the right crane type
If you're working indoors often, an electric or battery model avoids exhaust fumes and noise. For outdoor or mixed use, a diesel model may suit better.
Plan for long-term value
Consider how often you'll use the crane across different jobs, and how it holds its value as reusable equipment rather than a one-off rental cost.
