Used Truck Mounted Cranes

Verify load charts, boom condition, hydraulic integrity, outrigger function, chassis mileage, and service records. Inspect welds, slewing bearing, hooks, wire rope, and safety devices. Confirm certifications and any previous repairs or structural work.

Use the load chart for the specific boom length and radius you expect. Consider required tip height, lifting radius, and lift capacities under travel and fully deployed conditions. Add safety margin for dynamic loads and attachments.

Plan permits for oversize/overweight loads, check road and bridge limits, and secure the crane for transport. Smaller truck cranes can drive to site; larger units may need lowboy trailers and proper blocking, plus route and escort planning.

Regularly inspect and grease the boom and slewing bearing, check hydraulic lines and fluid levels, test outriggers and load sensors, replace wire rope and hooks as needed, and follow manufacturer service intervals. Keep clear maintenance logs and perform load testing after major repairs.
