The Hoeflon C30e is a fully electric, lithium-powered compact spider crane engineered for high-capacity heavy lifting in highly confined indoor and outdoor spaces.
As the most powerful mini-crane in its class, it boasts a maximum lifting capacity of 9,000 kg (9 metric tons) while retaining a remarkably slim footprint.
Core Specifications:
The exact physical and operational metrics of the Hoeflon C30e include:
• Lifting Capacity: Up to 9,000 kg with the main boom; 3,000 kg with the fly jib.
• Maximum Lifting Height: 22.9 meters (when equipped with the hydraulic fly boom).
• Maximum Horizontal Reach: 12.2 meters via the main boom, extending up to 20 meters with the fly jib.
• Dimensions (Transport Mode): 4.12 m long × 1.17 m wide × 2.00 m high. Its sub-1.2-meter width allows it to fit easily through standard double gates.
• Total Machine Weight: 8,700 kg (including a 2,350 kg removable counterweight ballast).
Key Performance & Design Features
• Pick & Carry Functionality: Unlike stationary spider cranes, the C30e can travel while carrying a load. It can transport up to 2,000 kg using the main boom and 1,000 kg utilizing the fly jib. It even features side-loading mounts to transport long steel beams through tight corridors.
• Fully Electric "Silent Power": Driven by a 12 kW electric motor paired with a safe, long-life Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery system. It generates zero direct emissions and operates silently, making it ideal for indoor glass installation, industrial warehouses, or urban job sites. A single charge covers up to 8 hours of operations (at a 60% duty cycle), and it supports fast charging while in active use.
• Intelligent Outrigger System: Features stepless, continuously adjustable articulated outriggers. Each outrigger actively communicates its geometric position to the onboard smart software, dynamically calculating the safe lifting capacity for that exact footprint.
• Manoeuvrability & Ground Clearance: Built on non-marking crawler tracks that can adjust hydraulically from 1,170 mm to 1,870 mm wide. The tracks extend downward at an angle to maximize ground clearance (300 mm) and maintain a low center of gravity when climbing slopes.
• Negative Boom Angle: The telescopic main boom can tilt up to 5° backward (negative angle). This gives operators vital extra maneuverability to lift and place loads safely in ultra-low clearance environments.
• Wireless Remote Control: The entire machine is managed via a 434 MHz radio remote control with a 250 m range. The integrated display gives live readouts of outrigger positions, safe working load percentages, total hanging weight, hook height, and remaining battery life.
