Crane Truck
A crane truck (also known as a truck-mounted crane or mobile crane truck) combines the functions of a crane and a flatbed truck in one vehicle. It can lift, load, transport, and offload heavy materials or equipment using its hydraulic crane, eliminating the need for separate vehicles and saving valuable time on site.
This versatility makes crane trucks
- Loading and delivering heavy construction materials
- Moving industrial machinery and equipment
- Transporting steel, pipes, or prefabricated structures
- Handling containers, signage, or plant components
Every vehicle undergoes regular inspections, and all lifting equipment is load-tested and certified, ensuring total peace of mind for our clients.
Rough terrain crane trucks
Our fleet of Cab mounted and Rear mounted rough terrain crane trucks includes 8 ton crane trucks to 40 Ton crane trucks in various configurations to cater for almost any requirement.
We have both 4×4 crane trucks, 8×4 crane trucks with specialist 8×8 rough terrain crane trucks.
Every crane truck is fully equipped with slings and an operator and in the event of a complex or very heavy lift a certified red seal rigger or supervisor will accompany the crane truck to ensure that your lift goes ahead without any delays or problems.
