This tank by Fredoichi uses the narrow Technic link chain wrapped around a Technic liftarm.
The designers at LEGO came up with a simple solution for the micro crane in the 2010 City Advent Calendar, set 2824. They used a Technic liftarm.
Other micro vehicles in set 2824 include a bulldozer, a fire truck, an airplane, and a helicopter. See them all in this photo review.

Managed to find a couple earlier examples of tracks on micro crane MOCs here and here.
I was wondering if there was a connection between the Flickr traffic I saw and this post, and there it is in the comments!
I just wish I could have figured out a decent version of the top of that crane. It got scrapped not too many days later.
OTOH - it was useful a few years later when I did the combine harvester for the TWINLUG farm modules. (If I can just find a picture of it...)
Nathan, I bet there are a few designers in Billund who wish they
could have figured out a better version to the top of the 2824 crane, too. There are severe limitations for certain kinds of detail when working in microscale.
I think you did a great job with your tower crane. Too bad the string was kinky.
Maybe I should write a post titled "Kinky Micro Madness." That should drive some traffic your way.
Here's a better photo of David Pickett's crawler crane.
