Crane trucks are commercial-sized vehicles specially designed to lift heavy objects and equipment and transport them from one location to another. They are used to handle a variety of materials, equipment, over both long and short distances. Available in a variety of sizes, designs, and capacities, crane trucks are highly versatile. They are critical for quick and safe material and equipment transport for a wide range of industries, including the construction, oil and gas, transportation, and energy sectors.
Boom trucks can be collapsed into a small, easily transported package. Since boom truck cranes can extend over long distances while maintaining a narrow, low profile, they are ideal for use in alleys, narrow roads, and confined spaces. Although they are smaller than other designs, boom trucks are capable of moving and transporting high payloads with a high degree of control.
The primary strength of boom truck cranes lies in their ability to fold the knuckle boom into the bed, which increases the amount of storage space available for transporting products. Boom truck cranes are made from lighter materials than other cranes, which further reduces the weight of the equipment and increases load capacity.
Crane trucks with knuckle booms and telescopic booms each offer unique lifting capabilities that can be tailored to the needs of particular applications. Knuckle booms, also known as articulating booms, bend at one or more reinforced joints, folding into small, lightweight packages that ensure optimal load-bearing capabilities. They are easy to maneuver and are often used to move and transport heavy items such as propane tanks.
Unlike traditional cranes and lifts, crane trucks are specifically designed to operate on roads and highways. With a wide range of sizes and capacities, these cranes can easily be transported to on- and off-road worksites for quick and easy loading and unloading. While standard cranes must be grounded and stabilized on specially prepared surfaces, heavy-duty crane trucks have the stability and mobility to quickly enter the worksite, load and move materials, and exit with speed and efficiency.
Since truck cranes can rotate 360° and extend long distances, they can be operated from a variety of locations within the worksite.
