SPIDER LIFT MANUFACTURER

TEUPEN LEO

The original spider lift. German engineering since 1977.

Teupen invented the tracked spider lift category. The LEO series remains the benchmark for compact access, with models from 15m to 50m working height. Narrow widths, low ground pressure, and articulating booms make LEO the go-to choice for heritage buildings, tight urban sites, and sensitive environments.

Why choose a Teupen LEO?

The LEO series defined what a spider lift should be. Here's what makes them different.

Narrow Stowed Width

The LEO 15GT stows to just 0.75m wide. Most models are under 1 metre. That means access through standard doorways, Victorian side passages, and estate gatehouses without modifications.

Low Ground Pressure

Tracked tracks spread the load. Ground pressure as low as 0.35 bar on some models. Protects lawns, gravel drives, historic floors, and sensitive surfaces.

Articulating Boom

Up-and-over capability reaches over obstacles and into awkward positions. Negative reach on larger models allows underslung working for bridge inspection.

Multiple Power Options

Diesel, petrol, electric, propane, or hybrid. Switch between power sources for indoor and outdoor work without changing machines.

Common Applications

Where Teupen LEO spider lifts excel.

Heritage Buildings

Low ground pressure and narrow width make LEO series ideal for historic sites with sensitive floors and tight archways.

Shopping Centres

Electric power options and compact dimensions work in occupied retail spaces without disruption.

Stately Homes

Tracked tracks protect lawns and gravel drives. Narrow stowed width fits through estate gatehouses.

Churches & Cathedrals

Propane and electric power for indoor work. Articulating booms reach over pews and choir stalls.

Tight Urban Sites

Stowed widths under 1 metre access through Victorian side passages and city courtyards.

Bridge Inspection

Negative reach capability allows underslung working positions for bridge soffit access.
