Truck Mounted Crane

FAQ About New Truck Mounted Cranes

Q1: What is the difference between Stiff Boom and Knuckle Boom truck mounted cranes?
Archer Machinery offers both types of brand-new truck mounted cranes. Stiff Boom (Telescopic) cranes are ideal for high-lift precision and reaching long distances, while Knuckle Boom (Articulated) cranes are perfect for confined spaces and heavy loading/unloading where vertical clearance is limited. We supply top brands like XCMG and SANY Palfinger.

Q2: Which truck chassis brands can these cranes be mounted on?
To ensure global serviceability and durability, our cranes are mounted on world-class, brand-new chassis including HOWO, SHACMAN, ISUZU, and DONGFENG. We can match the crane’s capacity (from 2 tons to 20 tons+) with the appropriate 4×2, 6×4, or 8×4 chassis to meet your local road regulations and payload requirements.

Q3: Can the truck still carry cargo while the crane is installed?
Absolutely. The primary advantage of a truck mounted crane is its dual-purpose nature. We customize the cargo box length and material based on your needs, ensuring there is sufficient payload capacity left for your goods after the crane and outriggers are installed.

Q4: What safety features are integrated into the crane and outriggers?
Every new unit features hydraulic over-wind protection and a load-holding valve system. For added stability, we provide telescopic hydraulic outriggers with optional rear outriggers for high-capacity models, ensuring the truck remains perfectly level and secure during heavy side-lifts.

Q5: How do I source replacement hydraulic pumps or crane cables?
To maintain the safety and lifting performance of your equipment, using genuine parts is essential. You can find hydraulic cylinders, winch cables, control valves, and engine filters for both the crane and the truck at www.archerparts.com.
