Product Introduction
Vehicle mounted cranes are hydraulic lifting devices integrated onto commercial truck chassis, combining lifting and transportation functions into a single machine. Powered by the vehicle's engine through a PTO (Power Take-Off) system, these cranes perform loading, unloading, and lifting operations with telescopic/articulating booms and 360° slewing capability. Compared to stationary cranes, vehicle-mounted units offer road-travel capability and rapid site-to-site relocation, making them widely used in construction, logistics, equipment maintenance, and emergency rescue operations.
Core Advantages
1. Multi-Function, High Efficiency
Vehicle mounted cranes integrate transport and lifting functions into a single device, eliminating the need for additional forklifts or stationary cranes for loading/unloading operations. Typical scenarios include: self-unloading heavy goods at logistics parks, or directly lifting construction materials to installation positions at job sites. This "self-loading/unloading" model significantly shortens operational cycles and reduces equipment types and labor requirements.
2. High Mobility, Rapid Relocation
Vehicle mounted cranes have full road-travel capability with maximum speeds exceeding 90 km/h, enabling multiple job sites tens of kilometers apart to be serviced in a single day. Compared to crawler cranes or tower cranes requiring flatbed transport, relocation time is reduced from hours to minutes, significantly lowering equipment idle time and transportation costs.
3. Wide-Span Outrigger System for Operational Stability
Vehicle mounted cranes feature H-type or A-type hydraulic outriggers that extend outward and lift the vehicle during operation, transferring the entire weight to the outriggers with wheels off the ground. Outrigger spans can exceed 4 meters, eliminating chassis suspension sway and providing a stable foundation for lifting operations. Select models feature automatic leveling systems for rapid stabilization on uneven terrain.
4. Comprehensive Safety Protection Systems
Modern vehicle mounted cranes are equipped with multiple safety devices:
Moment Limiting System: Real-time monitoring of boom angle, length, and load moment; automatic alarm and motion restriction as safety limits approach
Overload Protection: Automatically cuts lifting operations when rated capacity is exceeded
Emergency Shut-off: One-touch stop of all operations during abnormal conditions
Hydraulic Locks & Balance Valves: Prevent sudden boom or load drop in case of hydraulic line failure
360° Working Area Limitation: Configurable rotation range to prevent boom-obstacle collision
Color LCD Display: Real-time operating parameters with intelligent fault diagnosis
