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.
