Used Truck Mounted Cranes

Overview

Truck-mounted cranes are lifting units permanently or semi-permanently mounted on commercial truck chassis, offering quick road mobility and on-site lifting capability. Models vary from compact city cranes to heavy telescopic and articulating booms with outriggers and advanced hydraulics. They suit construction, utilities, and industrial work where fast repositioning, simplified transport, and reduced setup time are priorities compared with separate cranes or crawler units.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used truck-mounted crane?

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.

How do I match crane capacity to my jobs?

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.

What are key shipping and transport considerations?

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.

What routine maintenance keeps a truck crane reliable?

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.
