Maeda Cranes
Maeda was the first company to make spider cranes, and its spider and crawler cranes have always had the largest market share in Japan. Since 1980, Maeda has been making products to meet needs around the world. They are now the largest mini crane manufacturer in the world.
The Maeda spider crane was originally made for use in the stone industry in Japan. However, the Maeda spider crane has recently found new uses in the installation of curtain walls, glass, and plant equipment, as well as in the building and repair of factories around the world.
The Maeda spider crane is becoming more and more popular for indoor work because the electric motor gets the work done in small spaces without gas emissions.
Maeda also makes a type of mini crane called a "crawler crane." Because of the small size and tail swing of this Maeda crane, these versatile units are mostly used on construction and civil engineering sites that are tight on space.
UNIC Cranes
UNIC Cranes or Furukawa UNIC, is part of the Furukawa Company Ltd., which has been an important part of Japan's metals industry since the 1800s. Since its founding in 1946, UNIC Cranes has grown steadily to become one of Japan's leading manufacturers of truck-mounted cranes. It now has a market share of over 50% in Japan. The ability to design and make cranes in-house has made the UNIC name a gold standard for high-quality straight-boom cranes in Japan for decades, with exports to more than 70 countries around the world. Today, more than 400,000 cranes have been sold.
The strength of UNIC Cranes comes from their high quality and cutting-edge technology. Since 1961, when they made their first truck-mounted crane in Japan, they have been developing new technologies to meet the needs of their customers and improve their quality.
