1. Product Overview
Truck Mounted Crane for Sale, also widely known as Truck with Crane,
Crane Truck,
Lorry Crane and
Loader Crane, is a popular multifunctional special vehicle for global engineering and logistics industries. It is a specialized integrated equipment that combines a high-performance hydraulic crane system with a heavy-duty modified
Cargo Truck chassis. Professionally designed for lifting, lowering, loading and transporting heavy loads, it perfectly integrates flexible mobility and powerful lifting capacity in one single unit, serving as an all-in-one solution for diverse on-site operation needs.
This crane truck is equipped with a portable hydraulic boom crane mounted on a reinforced heavy-duty truck body. It adopts advanced hydraulic drive technology and supports two mainstream boom types: hydraulic telescopic boom and knuckle boom. It can freely lift, shift and transport all kinds of heavy materials, delivering outstanding mobile working performance for construction, logistics and public utility work. The complete vehicle structure consists of four core parts: durable truck chassis, standard cargo bed, hydraulic crane (telescopic/knuckle boom optional), and hydraulic stabilizer outriggers.
We provide full-range lifting capacity options for sale. Standard small and medium-duty models feature 2–20 tons lifting capacity, fully meeting most daily engineering, logistics and municipal operation demands. Custom heavy-duty models with a lifting capacity of over 100 tons are available for ultra-heavy industrial construction projects. All crane trucks are factory direct sales, with complete configurations and reliable quality.
2. Working Principle
The truck mounted crane adopts mature and stable hydraulic transmission working principle. The heavy-duty truck chassis provides continuous and stable power to drive the full hydraulic system, realizing precise hydraulic lifting, boom extension and retraction, as well as 360° full-angle free rotation without working dead angles. Operators can flexibly adjust the crane’s working radius and lifting height according to different working conditions and load weights to complete accurate and efficient material handling tasks.
Before heavy-load operation, the matched hydraulic stabilizer outriggers are fully extended to form a wide and firm supporting structure. This design effectively balances the vehicle body, avoids tilting during full-load lifting, and greatly improves overall operation stability and safety. Both telescopic boom and knuckle boom configurations operate smoothly and sensitively with low failure rates, supporting long-time continuous outdoor working and high-frequency commercial operation.
3. Daily Application Scenarios
With dual functions of lifting and transportation, flexible mobility and strong environmental adaptability, our sale-type truck mounted crane 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 renovation, heavy equipment migration and field emergency rescue. Different from fixed lifting equipment, this Mobile Crane Truck can quickly access urban narrow sites, suburban construction zones and remote working areas, realizing one-stop integrated lifting and transportation operation, which greatly improves construction efficiency and reduces project cycle.






4. Comparison With Traditional Models
Compared with traditional ordinary cargo trucks and independent fixed cranes, our truck mounted crane for sale has obvious comprehensive competitive advantages. The traditional working mode requires separate purchase and deployment of transport vehicles and lifting equipment, resulting in high overall procurement costs, low equipment utilization rate and tedious on-site scheduling.
This integrated crane truck realizes dual functions of lifting and transportation with ultra-high versatility, effectively saving customers’ equipment investment and daily operating costs. It adopts a compact integrated structure, saving parking space and on-site working space. Equipped with professional stabilizer outriggers, it ensures safer and more stable heavy-load operation than traditional cranes. In addition, it features flexible mobility and strong site adaptability, capable of reaching complex working sites that large fixed equipment cannot access, greatly expanding the working scope.

5. Vehicle Purchase Guide
We provide customized configuration services for global customers to meet different working demands. 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, limited low-height working environments and flexible on-site operation, the knuckle boom crane is the optimal choice.
For conventional small and medium-duty cargo handling and daily engineering projects, 2–20 ton standard models are cost-effective and sufficient for regular working needs. For large-scale ultra-heavy industrial construction, customized 100+ ton heavy-duty models are available. All our truck mounted cranes are factory direct sales, supporting personalized configuration, inspection and delivery.
6. Operation and Maintenance
6.1 Standard Operation Specifications
Before starting work, comprehensively inspect the truck chassis operating status, hydraulic oil level and cleanliness, crane boom integrity and outrigger flexibility to eliminate potential faults. During formal operation, all stabilizer outriggers must be fully extended to ensure stable vehicle support. Operate hydraulic lifting, extending and rotating actions slowly and smoothly, 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 joints, hydraulic pipelines and outrigger structures regularly to prevent loosening, oil leakage and mechanical jamming. Clean dust and sundries on the vehicle and crane surface daily to reduce component wear. Standard daily maintenance can effectively reduce failure rate and extend the overall service life of the equipment.
