Russian cities are being built very actively. We are talking not only about large projects, which are the domain of tower cranes, but also about low-rise construction, where truck cranes - cranes mounted on the base of trucks - are responsible for moving heavy loads.

In addition, all companies can afford to use the equipment by renting an autocrane. Truck crane has a hydraulic drive, which provides smooth operation of the mechanism, ease and simplicity of machine control. The usefulness of such equipment is obvious. Truck cranes are mobile and easy to operate, the machine can work immediately upon arrival, no installation is needed, as in the case of the above-mentioned “towers”.

Truck cranes are also effective where their help is needed urgently - in places of accidents and debris, at the fall of power poles, earthquakes, as well as liquidation of the consequences of large fires. Truck cranes are good for their versatility. They are actively used in the performance of a wide variety of work. Of course, the bulk of the tasks that solve truck cranes, lie in the plane of construction and installation. In addition, truck cranes are responsible for loading and unloading heavy loads. Significant capacity and mobility of the truck allows to solve most of these tasks with ease.

Truck cranes are indispensable where human power is insufficient or inefficient. And although a team of movers, for example, can unload a shalande of bricks, truck cranes handle the same amount of work not only faster, but also better, because “on the ground” bricks remain packed in pallets, which is convenient, in particular, when counting materials. Truck cranes work on construction sites, help rescuers to clear debris, serve in enterprises, load heavy loads and do dozens of other things.

When you watch how cranes work, it is impossible to believe that not so long ago such equipment did not exist. Inventors will probably soon come up with some other machines for lifting loads, but for now - truck cranes are very much in demand. In the following articles we will see who produces truck cranes in Russia and abroad, as well as try to understand what truck cranes are and how they differ.
