Rarely any construction work is carried out without the help of truck cranes. The most common type of hoisting mechanism used for construction purposes is a self-propelled truck crane.

The distinctive features of this type of equipment, first of all, can be attributed to its high productivity, speed of movement and maneuverability. The design of mobile cranes is a cabin mounted on a car chassis, and the working function is performed by a rotating boom. Most often such equipment is used when ordering a truck crane. Cranes are widespread in work on remote construction sites, as they are able to move between different points in a fairly short period of time.

They perfectly cope with the tasks of moving cargo, in particular building blocks, slabs, and are also used in high-rise and installation work. Self-propelled cranes, installed on the chassis of the automobile type, are characterized by the presence of a special undercarriage, which provides high cross-country ability. Unlike automobile cranes, crawler cranes do not need to be equipped with outriggers, as they are highly stable.

Nevertheless, in terms of maneuverability they are practically as good as the first type and can also easily move around the construction site, even if the track is not prepared for transport. High speed of movement, but lower lifting characteristics have mobile cranes. Their use is reasonable on those sites where there is no need to use powerful equipment. At the same time, compact in size and dimensions, mobile cranes can easily and quickly move along urban highways, which means that it will not be difficult to deliver it to a remote site. Leaders in the production of equipment of this type are such companies with international names as Grove and Liebherr. The purchase of cranes pays for itself especially quickly, if they are effectively used in installation work.

High lifting capacity combined with excellent off-road capability is synonymous with all-terrain cranes. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that the basis is a special chassis designed for work in off-road conditions. Such equipment is used when providing the service of a truck crane. Regardless of the weather, all-road cranes provide reliable work. And the improved characteristics of working units and installations provide a high level of automation of operations.
