Compared with folding boom crane truck, the straight boom lorry crane features longer lifting radius, stronger lifting capacity and simpler hydraulic structure. It is mainly applied in the following scenarios.
First, construction site material hoisting and transportation. It can lift and transport steel bars, steel pipes, cement precast parts, formwork and construction blocks. One truck finishes loading, lifting and delivery, saving extra mobile crane rental cost. It is widely used for building construction, road works and bridge auxiliary projects.
Second, forestry and timber haulage. Straight boom crane with grapple attachment is perfect for grabbing logs, lumber and bamboo. It can self-load timber in mountain forest areas with limited space, greatly improving efficiency for wood harvesting and transportation.
Third, mine and quarry material handling. It lifts stone blocks, heavy spare parts and mining equipment on quarry and mining sites. Its stable heavy lifting performance adapts to rough, unpaved mine roads.
Fourth, municipal engineering and power maintenance. It handles street lamp installation, guardrail erection, transformer and power pole lifting, pipeline hoisting and roadside maintenance work.
Fifth, machinery and heavy equipment relocation. It is used to lift small construction machines, water pumps, generators and container accessories for short-distance transfer.
