Crawler Cranes

Crawler cranes are a type of tracked mobile crane available with either telescopic or lattice
booms. Because they are self-propelled they are able to move around a construction site and
perform jobs without much set-up. They are however very expensive to transport from site to
site because of their great size and weight.

Crawler crane’s tracks provide additional stability meaning they can operate without the
use of outriggers, though some models do include them.

Hydraulic Truck Cranes

The standard in mobile cranes, hydraulic truck cranes can lift thousands of pounds
using hydraulics that rely on forces transmitted through oil pushing the boomâs
pistons in opposite directions.

Hydraulic truck cranes are essential to building major projects like bridges,
buildings, airports, roadways,

All Terrain Cranes

All terrain cranes are multi-functional cranes designed to be driven on both smooth paved
highways or off-road at speeds up to 40 mph.

They were developed in 1981 by Liebherr out of a need for telescopic cranes in the construction
of 3,100 miles of gas pipelines and pumping stations in Siberia.

Typically all-wheel drive, all terrain cranes are powered by one or two engines and feature
hydraulically operated winches and a telescopic boom that can reach close to 200 feet and
carry up to 130 tons on some models. Source

Rough Terrain Cranes

A type of hydraulic crane, rough terrain cranes are designed to operate specifically off-road on
rough terrain thanks to their all-wheel drive capabilities and rubber tires.

Rough terrain cranes are used for pick-and-carry operations like bridge-building and large
construction projects where high maneuverability and lifting capacity is needed.

They are not typically allowed on public highways, except in Japan, and must be transported to
the work site by truck or lowboy

Carry Deck Cranes

Carry deck cranes are smaller mobile cranes that travel on four wheels and are capable of
rotating their boom a full 360-degrees.

An American invention, carry deck cranes are designed to work in confined spaces and can
transport the loads they pick up on the small built-in deck around their cab.
