Selecting the right crane for your truck is a crucial decision that impacts operational efficiency and investment costs. This article guides you on how to choose the most optimal truck mounted crane.
Types of Truck Mounted Cranes
Truck mounted cranes, also known as crane trucks, loader cranes, or boom trucks, are specialized vehicles commonly used in the lifting equipment industry. The diversity of this vehicle line stems from its construction, comprising a base truck and a hydraulic crane.
Base Trucks: Available in various models, types, and load capacities from brands such as Hino, Isuzu, Fuso, Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo, Teraco, Dongfeng, Howo, Jac, Thaco, and more.
Hydraulic Cranes: Equally diverse, with lifting capacities ranging from 1 to 45 tons, from brands like Unic, Tadano, Kanglim, Soosan, HKTC, Atom, Palfinger, Hya, Ferrari, Fassi, Hiab, XCMG, and others. Hydraulic cranes are mainly divided into two types: telescopic boom cranes and knuckle boom cranes.
How to Choose the Right Truck Mounted Crane
To choose the right truck mounted crane, consider these questions:
- What types of goods will you typically transport and lift?
- Are you in the transportation service, manufacturing, or construction industry?
- What is the desired payload capacity of the truck?
- What is the typical weight of the loads you’ll be lifting? What’s the heaviest and lightest?
- What is the typical distance from the load to the truck?
- Is the loading and unloading area open or obstructed?
- What is your budget for the crane truck?
- Do you prefer a Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or domestic truck?
- Which crane brand do you prefer? What is its origin?

Based on these questions, you can determine the type of crane (telescopic or knuckle boom), the base truck (payload, brand), the crane (lifting capacity, brand), investment level, and delivery time. Combining this with knowledge about crane trucks, advice from suppliers, and input from colleagues, the selection process will become easier.
