Construction special equipment are special working departments equipped with a set of certain tools, which are designed to perform all works in construction: construction of new buildings, destruction of old ones, repair, excavation preparation, etc.

A wide range of construction special equipment, presented in the market, but buying or ordering services of crane and excavator need to correlate the technical properties and means of machines with the type and scale of work performed. Construction of any building, whether it is an ordinary high-rise or a huge mansion, begins with digging an excavation and laying the foundation. There is no way to do without a construction crane and special equipment for excavation work.

But construction work is impossible without the use of such heavy equipment for lifting, such as tower cranes and truck cranes. We are increasingly seeing huge tower cranes, because the demand, purchase and rental of truck cranes have already reached the highest levels. Truck crane is a key unit of the full complex of equipment for construction, as it is designed for the construction of multi-storey buildings. When choosing the necessary model of such a crane, special attention and a clear understanding of the purpose of application is required.

Truck cranes are mounted on a truck chassis, with a working tool in the form of a boom. Such cranes are convenient to use on objects located far away from each other and requiring short-term work. As a rule, truck cranes are used for cargo handling, loading and unloading, as well as for the arrangement of mechanisms and working equipment. Crane load capacity, the drive of the device and the type of suspension of the equipped equipment - these are the three main features by which truck cranes are divided into several types.

By such a criterion as lifting capacity, cranes are divided into five groups (truck cranes with lifting capacity from 4 to 5 tons, from 6 to 8, from 10 to 15, from 16 to 22 and up to 32 tons). Suspension can be rigid (hydraulic cylinder that changes the angle of the boom) and, respectively, soft (boom outreach changes under the movement of the cart with the load on steel ropes). Boom outreach and the smallest turning radius of the truck crane are equally important characteristics when choosing a truck crane. Thus, truck cranes are essential equipment for construction. Today, no construction site can do without the use of such a powerful machine for lifting loads as a truck crane.
