Pick and Carry Cranes-
Pick-n-Carry is the mobile crane that is widely used throughout the engineering, construction, and infrastructure industry. These machines are used for loading, unloading, moving, shifting, and erecting heavy material.
Lattice boom crawler cranes
Lattice boom crawler cranes (simply crawler cranes) are the largest type of crane in size. Due to the size of this type of crane and its tank-like features, they can be dismantled into smaller pieces, transported by special trucks or train wagons, and then assembled on the job site. These cranes are used to perform operations that require the lifting of heavy items or materials, such as large-scale construction projects. Crawler cranes are also capable of performing lifting operations on different ground surfaces, including soft ground because the entire weight of the machine is equally deployed on a tracked platform.
Pipe layers and Side booms
Pipelayers and Sidebooms are used for maneuvering pipelines and related components during assembly. These vehicles somewhat resemble a pick and carry crane which has a lifting mechanism that includes an articulated mast, a hoist system creates a mechanical advantage, and counterweights stabilize the equipment.
Pipelayers can pick-and-place materials in a 360° circumference. Pipelayers typically do not have as high a capacity as Sidebooms, but they are more versatile in Pipe laying environments. Sidebooms do not incorporate a rotating platform, and the mast overhangs the left or right side of the vehicle. Pipe laying operations can only occur on one side of the vehicle in Sidebooms.
Reach Stacker
A reach stacker is a vehicle that is used for picking and placing cargo containers at ports. In addition to this, Reach stackers are also used to transport container short distances quickly and pile them in various rows and columns. Reach stackers are popular because of their flexibility and higher stacking and storage capacity when compared to forklift trucks.
All-Terrain Cranes
All-terrain cranes are multi-functional machines that can travel on all types of terrains at normal speeds. Usually, the all-terrain cranes are powered by the hydraulic telescopic boom as their main lifting mechanism. A typical all-terrain crane is able to hold very heavy loads due to its cable lines. The cable lines are run by a winch located at the back of the operator’s cab. The all-terrain crane is very efficient for installing oil and gas pipelines, lifting heavy pre-cast buildings, erection of wind turbines, and similar construction applications.
Mobile Truck Crane
The mobile truck crane consists of an upper carriage with front end attachment such as lattice type boom and optional jib (boom extension). The upper carriage with attachment rotates 360° on the undercarriage or truck chassis (carrier frame). The carrier also features adjustable front and rear outrigger box assemblies. They are designed to easily transport to a site and use different types of load and cargo with little or no setup or assembly.
Rough Terrain Crane
Rough terrain cranes are mobile cranes that are designed to maneuver over many different types of surfaces. This type of crane is built on a body with four large rubber tires that are able to climb over uneven ground and keep traction on difficult terrain. They are more compact than most other types of off-road cranes, which means that they can get into tighter spaces. Most rough terrain cranes have 4-wheel drive to better navigate off-road.
Telescopic Handler
A telescopic handler (Telehandler, Teleporter, Reach Forklift) is a machine widely used in agriculture and industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom (Telescopic cylinder), making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic that can extend forwards and upwards from the vehicle. At the end of the boom, the operator can fit one of several attachments, such as a bucket, pallet forks, muck grab, or winch.
