Side Profile of a Truck-Mounted Crane

Truck-mounted cranes combine the mobility of a highway truck with the lifting capabilities of a heavy crane. Seen in side profile, the machine features a multi-axle heavy chassis built to support immense weight. Extending outwards above the truck bed is a long boom arm capable of reaching impressive heights to move materials across building projects.

Mobility and Highway Capabilities

Unlike specialized rough-terrain cranes, truck-mounted cranes can travel at highway speeds between different job sites under their own power. This eliminates the need for separate transport trailers, making them exceptionally versatile for urban utility work and quick construction jobs. Upon arriving at a location, hydraulic outriggers extend to stabilize the heavy truck chassis.

Real Colors of a Truck-Mounted Crane

  • Truck cab and chassis: white, yellow, or industrial blue
  • Extended boom arm: silver, gray, or safety yellow
  • Rubber road tires: black with metallic silver wheels
  • Hydraulic cylinders: chrome polished steel or dark gray
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How fast can a truck-mounted crane travel on the road?
Because they are built on commercial truck chassis, truck-mounted cranes can reach standard highway speeds of fifty to sixty miles per hour.
How does a boom arm extend to such long lengths?
Telescopic boom arms use nested hydraulic cylinders and internal cables that push smaller steel sections out from inside larger ones, expanding like a telescope.
Why do truck cranes need multi-axle wheels?
Multiple wheel axles distribute the heavy weight of the crane structure evenly across the pavement to meet road weight regulations and prevent road damage.
