22m Spider EWP - 2210

The 2210 Spider has many uses and advantages over the larger EWP’s in our Range. With 22m of height and up to 10m reach It also comes with a large battery pack allowing it to operate all day with much less noise and emissions. Great for soft ground. As a rule of thumb, if you can walk on it (without sinking up to your ankles) we can track across it.

  • Transportable on our 6x6 truck to get closer to site.
  • Access areas without needing to build roads or handle heavy track/bog mats.
  • Light footprint (just 8 PSI (human foot walking is 16 PSI)).

2023 Custom Built Beaver Tail

Including green energy supply.

Our custom built beaver tail is designed to complement our tracked equipment in more ways than one. Yes, it’s made to fit the machine in size and weight but we also wanted to be able to generate and store renewable energy to charge our spiders on the road.

With approximately 5kWH of onboard storage we added an input for a solar array to charge onsite. We also have the ability to plug the truck into our workshop to access renewable energy from our large rooftop solar array to charge the batteries with zero carbon energy.

This, along with having the ability to charge the machines directly from our workshop solar, greatly reduces emissions and carbon footprint for us and our customers.
