Specialty Work
Extreme Terrain
Maximum mobility on grades up to 100% and ground others won’t cross.
What this work involves
This is what the spider was built for. To hold position on a nearly vertical rock face, the operator deploys the hydraulic winch mounted on the machine and lets the legs, paws and traction chains do the rest — working ground that conventional equipment can’t even approach.
Independently adjustable legs let the spider stand level on grades up to 100%, straddle obstacles up to five feet high and cross terrain where the approach is the first real challenge.
