Crane Spotlight
Truck Cranes end in TT feature steerable rear wheels.
All the others and both Tadano models steer only with their front wheels.
Key Features
All three of the experts we spoke with named the same key features that customers look for in truck cranes: highway travel speed, quick and easy setup and takedown, long booms, strong lifting capacity, maneuverability, minimum crew, operator comfort and, of course, reliability.
One expert noted that when it comes to lifting performance, truck crane customers are especially interested in reach and capacity on the main boom, since it lets them do more work without having to spend time deploying and later stowing a jib.
