Mini SPIDER BATTERY – product development
Whenever space is too limited for other welding tractors to fit and perform the task, Mini SPIDER Battery steps in and proves that small machines can deliver big results.
The MINI SPIDER BATTERY is a welding tractor designed to produce continuous fillet welds using MIG/MAG torches. The carriage is CAS-battery powered and stabilized with permanent magnets. If additional holding force is needed for added stability, auxiliary magnet blocks are available.
New generation of Mini SPIDER Battery
Recently, based on customer feedback, the Mini SPIDER Battery has undergone several design improvements to further enhance its usability, portability, and efficiency.
What’s new?
- One torch setup as a standard, dual torch as an option
- 1kg weight reduction
- One universal cross-slide for left or right side
- New height-adjustable guide rollers
- New shielding designed with an undercut
- Control panel positioned horizontally
- Easier installation of auxiliary magnet blocks
- More visible battery level
- New type of packaging (plastic box)
Single torch setup as a new standard
The most notable change in the new generation of Mini SPIDER Battery is the shift from a dual torch setup to a single torch configuration as default. Previous dual torch standard setup is now an optional feature. This new arrangement reduces the weight of the MINI SPIDER Battery by 1 kg, making it more portable and easier to handle.
Instead of two separate cross-slides for the left and right sides, Mini SPIDER Battery is now equipped with a single universal cross-slide, allowing the torch to be mounted on either side – left or right.
The torch can be easily swapped between sides, enabling seamless welding of the entire workpiece from end to end.
For users requiring dual-torch functionality, this feature is still available as an optional configuration. However, since now the shipping set now includes a single unit of universal cross-slide with standard bracket and one torch holder, dual torch setup requires purchasing an additional cross-slide.
Efficient Design for Tight Spaces
One of the standout features of the Mini SPIDER Battery is its ability to operate in extremely narrow spaces, with a minimum width of just 200 mm. Its slim and compact design enables it to work effectively in tight and confined areas.
A new shielding design with an undercut smoothly facilitates multi-pass welding and reduces collision risks. Improved guide rollers with a 13 mm adjustment range enable precise alignment and reduce setup time.
Additionally, the control panel has been repositioned to a horizontal orientation, improving visual clarity and protection. With the battery now located on the side of the tractor, checking /the charge level is simple and convenient.
Cordless CAS-battery Powered Convenience
The MINI SPIDER BATTERY is powered by 4.0 Ah 18-volt DC battery. It eliminates the need for dangerous mains power and reduces cable clutter, making it a practical choice for field tasks.
Additionally, this unit is compatible with other battery-powered PROMOTECH machines, incl. GECKO Battery and SCORPIO Battery welding tractors, PRO-5 PB portable pipe beveller, PRO-36 Battery drilling machine, and more. Battery packs marked with CAS are 100% compatible with CAS devices (Cordless Alliance System).

The CAS High-Density Lithium-Ion (LiHD) battery is supported by intelligent battery management, ensuring over-discharge protection and extended battery life. When the battery is discharged, the carriage stops automatically, ensuring safe operation.
Monitored parameters:
- Low and high voltage
- Low and high temperature
- Temperature sensor failure
- Internal battery failure
The new generation of Mini SPIDER Battery features thoughtful design enhancements aimed at improving operator comfort. The transition to a single torch setup as the standard configuration, ensures lightweight convenience and better portability. Engineered to excel in confined and tight spaces, the Mini Spider Battery combines robust performance with user-friendly features.
