1. Combine lifting and cargo transport in one truck
The biggest advantage of the truck mounted crane is integration. Unlike a separate mobile crane plus a normal cargo truck, this lorry crane truck carries the crane and cargo box together. It can lift building materials, steel pipes, concrete blocks and precast parts, then transport them directly to the target area. It saves the cost of renting or buying two separate vehicles.
2. Excellent mobility and flexible transfer
The heavy duty lorry crane drives on public roads and rough construction site tracks. It can move between different work sites quickly without extra transport trailers. For scattered projects, road maintenance and remote mining zones, the site lorry crane greatly improves work efficiency.
3. Knuckle boom type fits narrow working spaces
The knuckle boom lorry crane (folding boom truck crane) is especially suitable for crowded sites, narrow streets and low-height working areas. Its folded boom takes less space compared with straight boom cranes. It can lift goods inside workshops, beside buildings and in tight mining passages.
4. Simple operation and easy maintenance
The hydraulic system of the lorry crane is mature and stable. Operators can control lifting via wired or wireless remote control. Spare parts for HOWO, SHACMAN chassis lorry cranes are easy to source in Africa and Middle East. Daily maintenance is simpler than large all-terrain cranes.
5. Wide range of application on site
On construction sites, truck mounted crane handles steel bars, formwork, construction machinery parts. In mining areas, it transports and hoists mining accessories. For municipal projects, it lifts guardrails, lighting poles and pipeline materials. It also works for timber yards, container yards and equipment installation.
6. Lower overall investment cost
Compared with large mobile cranes, the 6x4 / 4x2 lorry crane has a lower purchase price and lower fuel consumption. It does not need special transport permits like big cranes. Small contractors and engineering teams prefer this cost-effective lifting truck for daily site jobs.
7. Customizable configuration
We support custom crane tonnage, boom length, cargo box size and hydraulic functions. Customers can choose straight boom lorry crane or folding knuckle boom crane according to their site conditions. RHD conversion is available for right-hand traffic countries.
