A crane mounted on a truck carrier provides the mobility for this type of crane. Generally, these cranes are able to travel on highways, eliminating the need for special equipment to transport the crane. When working on the job site, outriggers are extended horizontally from the chassis then vertically to level and stabilize the crane while stationary and hoisting. Many truck cranes have slow-traveling capability (a few miles per hour) while suspending a load. Great care must be taken not to swing the load sideways from the direction of travel, as most anti-tipping stability then lies in the stiffness of the chassis suspension. Most cranes of this type also have moving counterweights for stabilization beyond that provided by the outriggers. Loads suspended directly aft are the most stable, since most of the weight of the crane acts as a counterweight.
A crane mounted on an undercarriage with four rubber tires that is designed for pick-and-carry operations and for off-road and "rough terrain" applications. Outriggers are used to level and stabilize the crane for hoisting. These cranes offer the perfect combination of power and traction for travel on rutted, muddy job-sites.
These telescopic cranes are single-engine machines, with the same engine powering the undercarriage and the crane, similar to a crawler crane. In a rough terrain crane, the engine is usually mounted in the undercarriage rather than in the upper.
We can help with crane hire across a variety of industries, with vehicles suitable for small jobs requiring a compact solution with a Seven tonne lift capacity, or very large projects needing a big crane with heavy lifting capacities of 300 tonnes and more.
A crane mounted on an undercarriage with a set of tracks (also called crawlers) that provide stability and mobility. Crawler cranes have both advantages and disadvantages depending on their use. Their main advantage is that they can move around on site and perform each lift with little set-up, since the crane is stable on its tracks with no outriggers. In addition, a crawler crane is capable of traveling with a load. The main disadvantage is that they are very heavy, and cannot easily be moved from one job site to another without significant expense. Typically a large crawler must be disassembled and moved by trucks, rail cars or ships to its next location.
All Terrain Cranes with lifting capacities of 30 to 1,200 metric tons ensure large lifting capacities across the entire working range. The design is customer-oriented, to provide maximum mobility and versatility, so the cranes can be used for many jobs or applications.
A Franna is a 'pick and carry' crane which is similar to a mobile crane in that is designed to travel on public roads, however Pick and Carry cranes are designed to lift the load and carry it to its destination, within a small radius, then be able to drive to the next job.
Cherry picker hire is an ideal EWP solution for electricians or other service and tradesmen who need a mobile work platform that they can easily tow to their location. Its rental range offers fantastic outreach – even at low working heights - are super compact.
It is a powered industrial truck used to lift and transport materials. An important aspect of forklift operation is that most have rear-wheel steering. While this increases maneuverability in tight cornering situations, it differs from a driver’s traditional experience with other wheeled vehicles. While steering, as there is no caster action, it is unnecessary to apply steering force to maintain a constant rate of turn.
Another critical characteristic of the forklift is its instability. The forklift and load must be considered a unit with a continually varying centre of gravity with every movement of the load. A forklift must never negotiate a turn at speed with a raised load which can result in a disastrous tip-over accident. The forklift are designed with a load limit for the forks which is decreased with fork elevation and undercutting of the load. A loading plate for loading reference is usually located on the forklift.
