Mobile crane is a type of crane that is mounted on a mobile platform, such as a truck or crawler, allowing it to be easily transported to different job sites. These
cranes are versatile and can be deployed for various lifting tasks in construction, infrastructure development, industrial projects, and other applications.
Mobile cranes typically feature a telescopic boom or lattice boom that can be extended or retracted to reach different heights and distances. They are equipped with hydraulic systems or winches to lift and lower loads safely and efficiently. Some
mobile cranes also have additional features such as outriggers or stabilizers to enhance stability during lifting operations.
There are several types of
mobile cranes, including:
- All-Terrain Cranes: Designed for both on-road and off-road use, these cranes offer excellent mobility and versatility.
- Rough Terrain Cranes: Specifically designed to operate on rough or uneven terrain, these cranes are often equipped with sturdy tires and powerful engines.
- Truck-Mounted Cranes: Mounted on a truck chassis, these cranes are highly mobile and can travel on highways to reach job sites.
- Crawler Cranes: Mounted on crawler tracks instead of wheels, these cranes provide excellent stability and lifting capacity on challenging terrain.
Mobile cranes play a crucial role in construction projects by lifting and moving heavy materials, equipment, and structures, contributing to the efficiency and productivity of various industries.
