Crane Trucks for Sale - Mobile Cranes and Crane Trucks

A mobile crane is designed for independent lifting work with large reach and capacity. A truck-mounted crane combines transport and loading, but has a different load diagram and usually less capacity on long outreach.

The specified maximum load usually applies close to the crane and in a specific configuration. Compare the load diagram with the required outreach, lifting height, boom length and outrigger position you need.

Outriggers transfer the lifting forces to the ground and partly determine the available capacity. Check outrigger spread, support plates, ground pressure and whether the work area is level and load-bearing.

Inspect the boom, welds, pins, ropes, winches, cylinders and slewing ring for wear and leaks. Ask for operating hours, maintenance history, faults, load records and valid inspection documents.

A crane must also be able to be moved between jobs. Check axle loads, counterweight, dimensions and any transport permits according to the countries and routes where you work.
