Beyond the truck cranes listed above, our lifting division covers the full spectrum of mobile crane types — truck-mounted cranes, all-terrain cranes, crawler cranes, and rough-terrain cranes. Below is a detailed breakdown of each crane type, the key brands we export, and what makes each class suitable for different job-site conditions.
Truck Crane — 8T to 50T
Brands: XCMG XCT/L series, ZOOMLION ZTC series, SANY STC series
Boom: 4–6 section full-power telescopic, hexagonal or U-shape profile, 25m–44m main boom
Mobility: 6×4 or 8×4 truck chassis, 70–90 km/h highway speeds — drive between job sites
Setup: Outrigger deployment in 2–3 minutes, single-operator cabin
Applications: General construction, utility pole erection, HVAC unit lifting, steel frame assembly, precast panel placement, machinery loading/unloading. The go-to crane for urban construction and short-to-medium duration lifts.
All-Terrain Crane — 30T to 500T+
Brands: XCMG XCA series, ZOOMLION ZAT series, SANY SAC series
Boom: 5–8 section full-power telescopic, oval/U-shape, 40m–100m+ main boom
Mobility: Multi-axle (4–9 axles), all-wheel drive & steer, 60–85 km/h on road
Terrain: Off-road capable — independent suspension, large single tires, high ground clearance
Applications: Wind turbine installation (main hoist), bridge girder erection, petrochemical plant lifts, heavy industrial machinery placement, power station construction. Combines rough-terrain capability with highway mobility — no separate transport needed between sites.
Crawler Crane — 50T to 500T+
Brands: XCMG XGC series, ZOOMLION ZCC series, SANY SCC series
Boom: Lattice boom — modular pin-connected sections, 50m–150m+ main boom length
Mobility: Crawler tracks — 1.0–2.0 km/h self-propelled on site, transported by lowbed trailer between sites
Ground Pressure: Ultra-low — operates on soft ground, mud, sand, and unprepared surfaces where wheeled cranes cannot go
Applications: Wind farm erection, bridge construction, port and harbor lifting, foundation piling, heavy industrial plant installation. Ideal for long-duration heavy-lift projects where the crane stays on station for weeks. Optional luffing jib and superlift counterweight for maximum capacity.
Rough Terrain Crane — 15T to 100T
Brands: XCMG XCR series, SANY SRC series
Boom: 4–5 section full-power telescopic, 25m–48m main boom
Mobility: 2-axle or 3-axle, 4×4 all-wheel drive & steer, crab steering, 25–40 km/h on site
Terrain: Oversized off-road tires, high ground clearance, short wheelbase — purpose-built for unpaved, muddy, or uneven job sites
Applications: Oilfield and pipeline work, remote construction sites, mining support, emergency recovery, infrastructure in undeveloped areas. Pick-and-carry capability (lift while driving) on many models — a key advantage over truck-mounted cranes.
Crane Type Comparison — Which Crane Fits Your Job?
Boom, Jib & Safety Configuration Guide
U-Shape Boom: Lighter, higher strength-to-weight ratio, better lateral stiffness — standard on XCMG XCT and SANY STC series. Hexagonal Boom: Proven design, excellent torsional rigidity, easier to manufacture/maintain — found on ZOOMLION and earlier XCMG models. More sections = longer reach at lower closed length, but more weight. We help you select the right boom length for your maximum lift radius.
Fixed Jib (Swing-Away): Manual offset 0°/15°/30° — adds 8m–18m reach, simple and cost-effective. Luffing Jib: Hydraulic luffing 0°–75° — for precise load placement over obstacles, common on all-terrain cranes and crawlers. Fixed Jib + Runner: Extends reach for light loads like HVAC units and antennas. Tell us your application — we configure the jib package accordingly.
Load Moment Indicator (LMI): Real-time load chart display, automatic overload cut-off, outrigger interlock — standard on all cranes we export. Anti-Two-Block: Prevents hook block collision with boom head — mandatory safety device. Wind Speed Monitor: Anemometer with auto-alarm at preset wind speed limits. All systems factory-calibrated and tested before shipment.
Fixed Counterweight: Standard on truck cranes — simple, reliable, no moving parts. Hydraulic Self-Removal: Pin-on plates lifted/lowered by built-in hydraulic cylinders — no auxiliary crane needed. Common on all-terrain and larger truck cranes. Superlift / Tray System: Variable counterweight radius via hydraulic tray — maximizes lifting chart for wind and heavy-industry applications. Available on large all-terrain and crawler cranes.
H-Type Outriggers: Standard on truck and all-terrain cranes — 4-point or 5-point (front jack) configuration, up to 8m span. 360° vs Restricted Chart: Over-front lifting capacity is significantly lower — our team helps you read and understand the full load chart for your working radius. Chassis OEM: XCMG and ZOOMLION use their own chassis; SANY uses SANY-built chassis. All comply with GB and CE standards; CE-certified units available for markets requiring EN 13000 certification.
Truck Cranes: Drive onto RoRo vessel or load into 40ft flat-rack container (boom retracted). All-Terrain Cranes: RoRo (self-drive) or flat-rack container, counterweight plates in separate 20ft container. Crawler Cranes: Disassembled into components — boom sections, carbody, crawler frames, counterweight — shipped in multiple containers or break-bulk. Rough Terrain Cranes: RoRo (self-drive) onto vessel or flat-rack container. Re-assembly instructions, rigging diagrams, and torque values included with every shipment.
