The 16 ton spider crane is the largest model JOJO Machinery builds, exported factory-direct from China: a 16.5 t carrier, 23 m of working radius, 25 m of lift height, a 16 t winch on a 12 mm rope of 160 m and an 85 kW diesel. Send the lift plan and the access route for a quotation. The range is customisable from 1.2 t to 16 t.
Sixteen tonnes with 25 m of height covers work that would otherwise need a mobile crane on a closed road or a tower crane on a fixed base. Large precast elements, complete roof plant packages, bridge beam sections, and steelwork on buildings where the crane cannot get close.
This is not equipment for occasional hire. A 16.5 t carrier at 7.2 m long and 2 m wide needs a low-loader to move, a planned access route, authorised ground and, in most markets, a documented lift plan signed before the machine leaves the yard. Buyers at this level are contractors and rental fleets, not households.
For anyone weighing 16 t against 12 t, the deciding question is reach. The lifting capacity is rarely the limit. The radius at which a heavy panel can be placed is.
Twenty-Five Metres Of Height From A Crawler Chassis
Boom base is 6 m. Five sections take the tip from 6.5 m to 25 m, and full telescoping covers 12.3 m in roughly forty seconds. Luffing through the 0 to 78 degree range takes seventeen seconds. Rope is 12 mm by 160 m, four-part reeved, on a 16 t winch.
The undercarriage runs hydrostatically from 0 to 2.5 km/h and climbs 25 degrees, which is 36 percent. Tracks are steel, 400 mm wide, 135 mm pitch, 48 sections per side. The hydraulic telescopic outriggers spread the load and are the reason a machine of this weight can be rated at 23 m of radius.

Options And Site Documentation
The usual additions are the torque limiter, the radio remote and, on long-reach work, the hydraulic fly jib. Six standard colours are held. On a machine of this class the documentation matters as much as the options: load chart, outrigger loadings, lifting points, transport dimensions and a parts catalogue with item numbers all ship with the unit, because the contractor needs them for the lift plan.
Typical Work For A 16 Ton Spider Crane
Complete plant packages and precast panels raised to the roofs of four and five storey buildings. Bridge and culvert work where the machine tracks along the deck instead of blocking the road. Tower plant replacement on occupied buildings. Steel frames on commercial builds in city centres. Industrial demolition and plant relocation where a heavier mobile crane cannot access the site.
FAQ
Q: What does the 16 ton spider crane lift at 23 m? A: The load chart figure at that radius, which is well below the nominal rating. For this size the lift plan is prepared from the chart rather than from the model number.
Q: How is it transported? A: At 16.5 t, 7.2 m long and 2 m wide it needs a low-loader or a flat-rack, and the access route is surveyed before shipping. Steel tracks let it off a ramp under its own power.
Q: Is a lift plan supplied? A: We supply the chart, outrigger loadings and lifting points. The lift plan is issued by the contractor with those figures, as local regulation requires.
Q: What engine and hydraulics are used? A: An 85 kW Yuchai diesel on 45 L with 24 V electrics, driving a 16 t two-speed winch and hydraulic telescopic outriggers.
Q: Which options are usually ordered? A: The torque controller, the remote control and the hydraulic flying jib, in that order. Remote control is close to essential at 23 m of radius.
Q: Lead time and payment terms? A: Roughly five weeks from confirmation for the standard build, and longer where the boom or winch is customised. Terms are 30 percent deposit and 70 percent on documents.
Ordering
Send the lift list with weights and radii, the required height, the access route and ground conditions, the lifting points and the destination port. We return a quotation covering the machine, options, spare parts and freight, with a 12-month warranty, ten years of wear-part support and full documentation for the lift plan. Minimum order is one unit.
