Introducing the Capstan Accessory for the Mini-Crawler Crane
Transport Pad- and Pole-Mounted Transformers with One Machine
Written by William Nicholls | June 2nd 2025

We’re proud to unveil a powerful new accessory for our Mini-Crawler Crane: the capstan, designed to give linemen more flexibility and efficiency in the field.
With this new feature, users can now transport pad-mounted transformers in addition to pole-mounted units—making the Mini-Crawler Crane a versatile 2-in-1 solution for utility crews. Whether you’re operating in tight urban spaces or remote off-road environments, this innovation simplifies the job by reducing the need for multiple machines.
Key Benefits:
-
Dual Functionality: Handle both pad- and pole-mounted transformer tasks with one piece of equipment.
-
Time & Cost Savings: Streamline operations by reducing transport, setup, and labor costs.
-
Built for Linemen: Developed with input from real field applications to ensure safety, performance, and ease of use.
The capstan accessory is now available as an option on all new Mini-Crawler Cranes.
