Smart Lifting for Space-Constrained Sites and Mid-Capacity Projects
In a world of mega-lifters, there exists a lesser-known group of high-performing crawler cranes capable of maneuvering in adverse conditions, located in urban cores and compressed deadlines in shutdowns. At V.J. Cranes Pvt. Ltd., we take pride in supporting contractors with a specific range of mid-capacity crawler cranes (50T-150T) from leading worldwide niche brands: Sumitomo, ABG, American AH, and LIMA.
Why? Because not every job demands 500 tons. But every job demands precision, availability, and efficiency.

Rigorously inspected pre-dispatch Matched with rigging kits, counterweights, and field-ready sparesFor projects that need accuracy, consistency, and low-cost uptime, not max load bragging rights.
These models are often the "setup cranes" that enable larger machines to take over later or the "stay-back workhorses" in post-heavy lift detailing.

“Our shutdown window was tight, and the heavy cranes weren't needed until Day 5. We brought in the Sumitomo 70T to pre-stage and finish 40% of the work even before the big boys showed up.”
— Project Engineer, Chemical Plant Modernization (Bhopal)
For projects needing quick setup, highway mobility, and high vertical reach, explore our fleet of Telescopic Cranes (220T-500T) from SANY, Demag, and Liebherr.

If you have a 10-30 day shutdown window, consider the AH-599 (50T) or SCX-700 (70T), both provide quick setup and reliance on limited crews.
Yes. Models like the AH-599 and ABG 1080 are small enough to effectively operate in off-ground and restricted height/space jobs.
Yes. LIMA 1200 (150T) has high vertical reach and great boom control, so it is ideal for any job at the power plant without over-engineering the machine.
These cranes can be mobilized in a 24 - 72 hr time frame depending on site access and permissions.
Yes. Our team will review terrain, load profile, lift duration and job sequencing to match the correct model to the site.
If your job involves repetitive lifts, tight space work, or controlled project zones, start lean. These cranes save money, reduce risk, and get permitted faster.
