Compact Cranes

Lift Where Conventional Cranes Cannot Reach

Compact cranes — also called mini cranes or compact tracked cranes — are remote-controlled lifting machines mounted on rubber tracks with hydraulic outriggers. Unlike conventional truck-mounted or crawler cranes, compact cranes can access confined spaces, navigate narrow corridors, and operate indoors or on sensitive surfaces without causing ground damage.

UPequip’s compact crane lineup is engineered for precision lifting in environments where standard equipment simply cannot go: interior atria, tight urban lots, sloped terrain, occupied buildings, and sites with weight restrictions. With lifting capacities from 1 to 6+ tonnes and working radii that adapt to the job, these machines bring crane capability to spaces that were previously considered inaccessible.

Every unit is built for reliability and ease of operation — remote-controlled, compact for transport, and backed by UPequip’s full service and parts network across North America. Whether you need a compact crane for rental, purchase, or a specific project, UPequip delivers the right machine with the support to match.
