1. Product Overview
HOWO Mobile
Crane Truck, also widely known as Crane Truck,
Lorry Crane or
Loader Crane, is a high-performance specialized vehicle that integrates a professional hydraulic crane system with a heavy-duty modified HOWO
Cargo Truck chassis. As a versatile truck-mounted crane, it is purpose-built for lifting, lowering, loading and transporting heavy loads, perfectly combining flexible road mobility and powerful lifting capability in one integrated unit.
This
Howo Mobile Crane Truck is fitted with a portable boom crane mounted on a reinforced and optimized HOWO truck chassis. It adopts advanced hydraulic drive technology, supporting both hydraulic telescopic boom and knuckle boom configurations to lift, shift and handle all types of heavy materials. It delivers outstanding mobile working performance, making it ideal for construction, logistics and public utility work. The complete vehicle structure consists of four core parts: reliable truck chassis, standard cargo bed, hydraulic crane (telescopic / knuckle boom optional), and hydraulic stabilizer outriggers.
The lifting capacity covers mainstream small and medium-duty working ranges from 2 tons to 20 tons, fully meeting daily commercial and engineering operation demands. Custom heavy-duty models are available with a lifting capacity of over 100 tons for ultra-heavy industrial projects. Featuring dual functions of lifting and transportation and excellent all-terrain mobility, the HOWO mobile crane truck boasts high versatility and wide application adaptability.
2. Working Principle
The HOWO mobile crane truck adopts mature and reliable hydraulic transmission working principle. The truck chassis provides stable power output to drive the full hydraulic system, realizing precise hydraulic lifting, boom extension, retraction and 360° full continuous rotation. Operators can flexibly adjust the crane’s working radius and lifting height according to different working sites and load conditions to complete accurate and efficient material handling tasks.
Before heavy-load operation, the hydraulic stabilizer outriggers are fully extended to form a wide, firm and balanced supporting span. This design effectively improves overall vehicle stability and prevents tilting during full-load lifting operations, ensuring safe and stable working performance in various working environments. Both telescopic boom and knuckle boom configurations operate smoothly with low failure rates, supporting long-hour continuous outdoor and field working.
3. Daily Application Scenarios
Benefiting from its dual functions of lifting and transportation, flexible mobile performance and reliable load-bearing capacity, the HOWO mobile crane truck is widely applicable in multiple core fields, including construction engineering, logistics cargo handling, municipal engineering and emergency rescue.
It is extensively used for building material loading and transportation, steel structure handling, urban road maintenance, infrastructure construction, heavy equipment migration and field emergency rescue work. Thanks to its superior flexible mobility, the vehicle can quickly access urban roads, suburban construction sites and remote field working areas, completing efficient integrated lifting and transportation tasks that fixed lifting equipment cannot achieve.
4. Comparison With Traditional Models
Compared with traditional ordinary cargo trucks and independent fixed cranes, the integrated HOWO mobile crane truck has significant comprehensive advantages. Traditional working modes require separate deployment of transport vehicles and lifting equipment, leading to high procurement costs, low equipment utilization rate and tedious vehicle scheduling management.
This HOWO mobile crane truck integrates lifting and transportation functions in a single unit with extremely high versatility, effectively saving equipment investment and daily operating costs. It features a compact integrated structure that saves parking space and on-site working space. Different from traditional cranes lacking stable supporting structures, it is equipped with professional hydraulic stabilizer outriggers to ensure safer and more stable heavy-load operation. In addition, its excellent flexible mobility allows it to reach various complex and narrow working sites, greatly expanding the working scope compared with traditional fixed lifting equipment.

5. Vehicle Purchase Guide
Customers can select optimal configurations according to actual working scenarios and load requirements. For open construction sites, long-distance handling and high-altitude lifting operations, the hydraulic telescopic boom crane is recommended for its larger working radius and higher lifting height. For narrow urban spaces, complex working conditions and flexible on-site operation, the knuckle boom crane is the preferred choice for its flexible folding performance.
For conventional small and medium-duty cargo handling and daily engineering tasks, 2–20 ton standard models fully meet regular working needs. For large-scale ultra-heavy industrial projects, customized heavy-duty models with over 100 tons lifting capacity are available. Adopting mature and durable HOWO chassis, this mobile crane truck features stable performance, strong adaptability and low failure rate, suitable for long-term high-frequency outdoor mobile operation.
6. Operation and Maintenance
6.1 Standard Operation Specifications
Before starting operation, comprehensively inspect the truck chassis condition, hydraulic oil level and quality, crane boom integrity and outrigger flexibility to eliminate potential faults. During formal operation, all hydraulic stabilizer outriggers must be fully extended to ensure stable vehicle support. Operators shall strictly follow standard operating procedures, perform hydraulic lifting, extending and rotating actions smoothly and steadily, and strictly prohibit overload operation and violent manipulation to ensure construction safety.
6.2 Daily Maintenance Tips
Regularly check and replace hydraulic oil and filter elements to keep the hydraulic system clean, unobstructed and stably powered. Inspect crane boom connecting parts, hydraulic pipelines and outrigger structures on a regular basis to prevent loosening, oil leakage and jamming. Clean dust and sundries on the crane and truck body daily to reduce component wear and aging. Standardized daily maintenance effectively reduces failure rate and significantly extends the service life of the entire vehicle.
