24m Spider Lift – Sri Lanka Hotel Aerial Access Equipment
Recently, Hubei Goman Heavy Industry has achieved another milestone along the Belt and Road Initiative markets. Our self-developed 24m spider boom lift (Model X24) has been shipped overseas and officially put into service at a well-known high-end hotel complex in Sri Lanka.

As a tropical island nation in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka features a marine climate with high temperature, high humidity and heavy salt spray, together with intricate interior architectural structures of hotels. These conditions impose extremely stringent requirements on aerial work equipment. Boasting outstanding environmental durability and precise operation performance, Goman’s 24m spider lift perfectly addresses core maintenance pain points for local hotels and has won high praise from overseas clients.
Site Challenges: Restricted Aerial Work Zones for Tropical Hotels
Sri Lanka lies in the tropical zone with year-round high temperature, heavy rainfall and high airborne salt content, which causes rapid corrosion of metal machinery. This landmark hotel complex faces three major maintenance obstacles:
Strict Floor Protection Requirements
Hotel lobbies and corridors are paved with costly imported marble and solid wood flooring. Traditional wheeled lifts require protective boards before entry, which wastes time and still carries risks of surface scratches.
Narrow Space Constraints
The hotel features numerous art installations, narrow connecting walkways and low porch entrances. Large straight boom lifts cannot pass through at all, and full scaffolding is difficult to erect in compact interior spaces.
Harsh Climate Conditions
Outdoor temperatures often exceed 35°C with sudden rain showers. Equipment must deliver powerful heat dissipation and reliable waterproof performance to avoid electrical malfunctions caused by dampness.
Technical Breakthrough: Optimized 24m Spider Lift for Tropical Working Conditions
Tailored to Sri Lanka’s unique operating environment, Hubei Goman Heavy Industry has carried out targeted upgrades on the 24m spider lift, whose core advantages stand out in real-site operations:
Bionic Crawler Chassis for Humid Conditions & Narrow Access
Equipped with rubber crawler tracks with ultra-low ground contact pressure, the machine delivers strong traction even on slippery post-rain floors in hotels. Its chassis width can be retracted to under 0.8 meters, allowing easy passage through hotel elevators, revolving doors and narrow service aisles. The rubber tracks eliminate scratches on high-end decorative floors, achieving zero damage to interior finishes during operation.
24m Max Working Height for Full-Scenario Coverage
The 24m working height equals an 8-story building, fully covering giant crystal chandeliers in lobbies, high-rise facade glass curtain walls and top-floor mechanical rooms. Equipped with a 360° continuous rotating turret, the work basket can swing at wide angles. Operators can precisely avoid interior columns and art sculptures without repositioning the chassis, delivering maintenance crews directly to target working points.
Anti-Corrosion & Heat Dissipation Design for Marine Climate
For Sri Lanka’s heavy salt spray environment, this batch of lifts adopts upgraded anti-corrosion coating on all structural components, with stainless steel or galvanized materials applied on key parts to slow down sea wind corrosion. The hydraulic heat dissipation air duct is optimized to support continuous operation for over 4 hours under high temperature without alarms or power reduction.
Operational Value: Dual Improvement in Efficiency & Cost Control
Since deployment, the spider lift has completed multiple tough tasks including facade glass cleaning, lobby chandelier maintenance and fire pipeline inspection:
Remarkable Efficiency Boost
In the past, high-rise glass cleaning required large mobile cranes and road closures, consuming massive time and labor. With the 24m spider lift, only two staff members and one machine are needed. All work can be finished quickly during off-business hours, cutting single-operation time by 50%.
Lower Comprehensive Costs
Compared with renting large machinery or erecting full scaffolding, the spider lift reduces overall operating costs by approximately 30%. It requires fewer auxiliary workers and effectively eases the local shortage of skilled labor.
Zero Safety Accidents
Built-in intelligent anti-tilt system and emergency manual lowering device deliver dual safety protection during slippery-ground work. The unit has maintained a fault-free operation record to date.
Customer Feedback: Recognition from the Indian Ocean
The Engineering Director of the Sri Lankan hotel commented after equipment acceptance:
“Goman’s 24m spider lift is the most suitable aerial equipment we have ever used for tropical hotel environments. Its climbing capacity and anti-corrosion performance are impressive. Especially for maintaining giant lobby chandeliers, the 24m working height and sensitive micro-movement control play a decisive role. It not only greatly improves our work efficiency, but also fully protects the hotel’s expensive decorative facilities.”
The successful delivery of the Sri Lanka project marks a key milestone in Hubei Goman Heavy Industry’s overseas “Made in China” strategy. It proves that Goman equipment adapts not only to diverse domestic working conditions, but also withstands harsh climate environments across the globe. Moving forward, driven by technological innovation, Goman Heavy Industry will continue to provide globally applicable, cost-effective aerial work solutions for customers worldwide.
