When is a Loader Crane Essential?
Loader cranes are truck-mounted hydraulic lifts ideal for loading and unloading in restricted areas. They’re a common piece of equipment in various industries including construction, maritime, roadside assistance, landscaping, logging, and mining. They perform a range of different jobs.
- Loading material directly on and off the vehicle itself.
- Lifting loads from the vehicle to a higher area, for example, lifting building materials to the roof or a higher floor.
- Moving loads from one area to another, neither of which is the vehicle itself.
- Holding a load in place, for example, holding a sign while it is connected.
Loader cranes come in a wide range of sizes and types, so it may at first seem like an overwhelming decision to choose the best model for you. There are some things you should consider when narrowing down your choice.
- The size of the loads you’ll be carrying and the lifting capacity your crane will need to have.
- The reach you’ll need. How high and far do you need your crane to be able to reach?
- The size of the truck you’ll be installing.
- What jobs your company will likely use the crane for.
- What crane type will best cater to your needs.
Along with the above considerations, be sure you’re purchasing a reliable brand from a trusted dealer. A loader crane is an investment that will play an important role in your business, so you want to know you’re purchasing a quality model that will perform for you constantly.
