Crane Trucks

Crane trucks are uniquely suited for urban environments, offering the flexibility to navigate tight spaces while delivering high performance in lifting and unloading tasks.

• Definition: A crane truck is a truck with a telescopic crane mounted on its chassis.
• Functionality: Can extend up to 8x its length, with a maximum lifting capacity of 750 tons.
• Advantages: Road-legal (max speed: 90 km/h), ideal for urban construction and hard-to-reach areas.
• Versatility: Equipped with extendable outriggers for stability and auxiliary booms for increased reach.
• Limitations: Not suitable for extremely heavy loads, where other crane types are used.
• Misconception: Often confused as a term for all mobile cranes, which is incorrect.

Their road-legal status enables swift transportation between sites without the need for specialized hauling equipment. Equipped with auxiliary booms, these machines can perform a variety of functions, from hoisting construction materials to placing large objects at elevated heights.

While extremely heavy-duty tasks may require all-terrain or tower cranes, crane trucks bridge the gap by being both powerful and versatile. Their extendable outriggers stabilize them on uneven surfaces, making them capable of operating in challenging environments.
