1. Product Overview
Hydraulic Truck Mounted Crane, also known as
Crane Truck,
Lorry Crane or
Loader Crane, is a high-performance specialized vehicle integrating a professional hydraulic crane system with a heavy-duty modified
Cargo Truck chassis. It is specially designed for lifting, lowering, loading and transporting heavy loads, perfectly combining flexible mobility and powerful lifting capability in one single unit.
This hydraulic crane truck is a portable boom crane mounted on a reinforced heavy-duty truck chassis. It adopts advanced hydraulic drive technology and is available with hydraulic telescopic boom or knuckle boom configurations to lift and move all kinds of heavy materials. It provides excellent mobile working performance, widely suitable for construction, logistics and utility work. The whole vehicle consists of four core structures: truck chassis, cargo bed, hydraulic crane (telescopic / knuckle boom optional), and stabilizer outriggers.
The lifting capacity covers small and medium-duty operation from 2 tons to 20 tons, meeting most conventional working requirements. Custom heavy-duty models can reach over 100 tons for ultra-heavy load engineering projects. With full hydraulic control design and dual functions of lifting and transportation, the hydraulic truck mounted crane features high versatility and stable overall performance.
2. Working Principle
The hydraulic truck mounted crane adopts mature full hydraulic transmission working principle. Driven by the truck chassis power system, the professional hydraulic system provides stable and continuous power output to realize hydraulic lifting, boom extending and retracting, as well as 360° full rotation. The crane can freely adjust working radius and lifting height according to different working conditions, achieving accurate and efficient material handling.
Before heavy-load operation, the stabilizer outriggers are fully extended to form a stable supporting structure, effectively improving vehicle balance and ensuring safe and stable operation under full-load working conditions. Whether equipped with a telescopic boom or knuckle boom, the hydraulic system operates smoothly and sensitively, with low failure rate and strong durability, supporting long-time continuous construction work.
3. Daily Application Scenarios
Benefiting from its dual functions of lifting and transportation and excellent mobile performance, the hydraulic truck mounted crane is widely applied in multiple fields, including construction engineering, logistics cargo handling, municipal engineering and emergency rescue.
It is commonly used for building material loading and unloading, steel structure handling, road maintenance, urban infrastructure construction, heavy cargo transportation and field emergency rescue. With flexible mobility, the vehicle can quickly reach urban roads, suburban construction sites and remote working areas, realizing integrated mobile lifting and transportation tasks that traditional fixed lifting equipment cannot complete.
4. Comparison With Traditional Models
Compared with traditional ordinary cargo trucks and separate fixed cranes, the integrated hydraulic truck mounted crane has obvious comprehensive advantages. The traditional working mode requires separate purchase of transport trucks and lifting cranes, resulting in high procurement costs, low equipment utilization rate and complicated vehicle scheduling.
This hydraulic crane truck integrates dual functions of lifting and transportation in one unit with extremely high versatility, effectively saving equipment investment and daily operating costs. It adopts a compact integrated structure, saving working space and site occupation cost. Different from traditional cranes without stable supporting devices, it is equipped with professional stabilizer outriggers to ensure stable and safe heavy-load operation. In addition, it features flexible mobility and can adapt to various complex working sites, greatly improving construction efficiency and site adaptability.

5. Vehicle Purchase Guide
Customers can select suitable configurations according to actual working scenarios and load demands. For open construction sites, long-distance operation and high-altitude lifting, the telescopic boom hydraulic crane is recommended for larger working radius and higher lifting height. For narrow sites, limited space and flexible operation requirements, the knuckle boom hydraulic crane is the optimal choice.
For conventional small and medium-duty handling and engineering work, 2–20 ton standard models fully meet daily working needs. For ultra-heavy industrial projects, customized 100+ ton heavy-duty hydraulic crane trucks are available. All models adopt full hydraulic control system, featuring sensitive operation, stable performance and strong durability, suitable for long-term high-frequency outdoor work.
6. Operation and Maintenance
6.1 Standard Operation Specifications
Before operation, inspect the truck chassis, hydraulic oil status, pipeline tightness, crane boom integrity and outrigger flexibility to ensure no abnormal faults. During operation, fully extend all stabilizer outriggers to guarantee stable vehicle support. Operate hydraulic lifting, extending and rotating actions slowly and smoothly, strictly prohibit overload operation and violent manipulation to ensure construction safety.
6.2 Daily Maintenance Tips
Regularly replace hydraulic oil and filter elements to keep the hydraulic system clean and stably powered. Inspect boom connection parts, hydraulic pipelines and outrigger structures regularly to prevent loosening, oil leakage and jamming. Clean dust and sundries on the crane and truck body daily to reduce component wear. Standard daily maintenance can effectively reduce failure rate and extend the service life of hydraulic crane truck.
