Movex XC-270 Mini Crawler Crane

Compact Pick and Carry Crane for Tight Access Sites If you’re working in tight-access environments and need a compact, powerful lifting solution, the Movex XC-270 Mini Crawler Crane is the ideal machine.
Designed as a fully electric pick and carry crane, this highly manoeuvrable unit doubles as a spider crane, providing efficient material handling in residential backyards, industrial facilities, construction zones, and more.

Combining zero-emissions performance, rugged crawler traction, and a compact frame, the XC-270 is fast becoming the go-to mini crawler crane for contractors, tradies, and maintenance crews across Australia.

What Is the Movex XC-270? The Movex XC-270 is a compact, battery-powered spider crane built on a crawler base with outstanding terrain handling capabilities.

At only 775mm wide, the XC-270 can easily pass through doorways, gates, and laneways that would block access to traditional cranes.

Its low ground pressure and zero-turn capability make it perfect for confined indoor areas or sensitive outdoor surfaces like turf or paving.

Engineered and manufactured in Canada by Movex Innovation, the XC-270 is purpose-built for lifting and transporting loads in locations where conventional cranes cannot reach.

Key Features of the Movex XC-270 Mini Crawler Crane Ultra-Compact Design With a total width under 800mm, the XC-270 easily accesses tight residential or commercial spaces.

This size advantage makes it the ultimate spider crane for restricted job sites, warehouses, or landscaping projects.

Fully Electric Operation The XC-270 is powered by a rechargeable electric battery system, producing zero emissions and offering low-noise operation.

This makes it ideal for indoor projects, night works, and environmentally sensitive locations where diesel fumes are unacceptable.

Dual Functionality – Pick and Carry As a true pick and carry crane, the XC-270 doesn’t just lift loads—it moves them across the site.

There’s no need for a separate trolley or forklift.

It’s perfect for transporting heavy items such as air conditioners, transformers, switchboards, or mechanical plant from drop-off to installation point in a single operation.
Strong Lifting Capacity Despite its compact design, the XC-270 delivers powerful lifting performance


1,000kg at a 2.6 metre reach 500kg at a 5.0 metre reach This makes it more than capable for most site-based lifting tasks in residential, industrial, or remote applications.
Remote-Controlled Precision The machine is operated via wireless remote control, giving the operator full visibility and flexibility while improving safety.
This hands-off control reduces risk in tight quarters and eliminates the need for a spotter.
Crawler Tracks for All Terrain The tracked crawler system provides excellent grip on gravel, grass, dirt, or sloped surfaces.
The XC-270 is graded to operate safely on inclines of up to 15°, with built-in tilt alarms and automatic speed reduction for added safety.
