What do you call a truck with a crane?

Truck with crane is a kind of equipment that realizes the lifting, turning and lifting of goods through a hydraulic lifting and telescopic system. It is usually assembled on a truck.

It is generally composed of a truck chassis, a cargo compartment, a power take-off, and a crane. The truck chassis can be selected from Dongfeng, Sinotruk, FAW, FOTON etc. According to the type of crane, they can be divided into straight arm type and folding arm type. , according to the tonnage is divided into 3.2 tons, 4 tons, 5 tons, 6.3 tons, 8 tons, 10 tons, 12 tons, 16 tons, 20 tons. The arm of the truck-mounted crane is divided into a straight-arm truck-mounted crane and a folding-arm truck-mounted crane.

Generally speaking, knuckle boom cranes are more expensive than straight boom cranes of the same tonnage. The advantages of truck-mounted cranes are that they have good mobility and rapid transfer. They can integrate hoisting and transportation functions, improve resource utilization, and are much cheaper than truck cranes. The disadvantage is that it needs outriggers when working, and it is not suitable for working on a large slope, soft or muddy site, and its hoisting performance is not as good as that of a car hoist.

The truck-mounted crane can be added with various grabbing aids, such as wooden grabs, hanging baskets, brick clamps, drilling tools, etc., to realize multi-scenario operations. Due to its flexible and multi-purpose characteristics, truck mounted cranes are favored by the market and have great market potential in the future. 

How much is a new crane?

The specific price is determined according to the chassis brand and the configuration of the crane type. We have two types of cranes, one is a straight-arm crane and the other is a knuckle-boom crane. For example, an 8-ton knuckle boom truck mounted crane is often equipped with Dongfeng 4 *2 Chassis, 210 horsepower engine, also depends on whether you need to install remote control, torque limiter and other accessories.

A 3.2-ton articulated hydraulic crane is a type of crane that is designed to lift and move heavy loads using hydraulic power. Articulated hydraulic cranes are also known as knuckle boom cranes or picker cranes and are often used in industries such as construction, transportation, and forestry.

The crane is called articulated because it is made up of several segments that are connected with hinges, allowing the crane to bend and fold in different directions. This enables the crane to reach and lift loads in tight or hard-to-reach spaces that other cranes cannot.

The crane is powered by a hydraulic system, which uses pressurized fluid to lift and move heavy loads. The hydraulic system consists of a hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinders, and hydraulic hoses. The pump generates high-pressure fluid that is delivered to the cylinders, causing them to extend or retract and move the crane segments.

The maximum lifting capacity of a 3.2-ton articulated hydraulic crane is 3.2 tons or 3200 kg. The crane has a maximum reach of up to 9 meters or 30 feet and can be controlled with precision using a remote control or from the operator's cab.

The articulated hydraulic crane is highly versatile and can be used for a variety of applications, including loading and unloading trucks, moving heavy materials on construction sites, and lifting and transporting heavy machinery. It is also ideal for working in tight spaces, such as urban areas or indoor environments, due to its compact size and flexible design.

Overall, the 3.2-ton articulated hydraulic crane is a powerful and efficient lifting solution that is suitable for a range of industries and applications.

How many types of hydraulic crane are there?

There are several types of hydraulic cranes available, each with their own unique features and capabilities. Some of the most common types of hydraulic cranes include:

Knuckle Boom Crane or Articulating Crane

Telescopic Crane or Straight Boom Crane

Folding Boom Crane or Lattice Boom Crane

Stiff Boom Crane or Fixed Boom Crane

Crawler Crane

Truck-Mounted Crane

Rough Terrain Crane

All Terrain Crane

Floating Crane

Tower Crane

Each type of hydraulic crane is designed for specific tasks and environments, and choosing the right crane for a particular job is important to ensure safety and efficiency.

What is the difference between hydraulic crane and crawler crane?

The main difference between a hydraulic crane and a crawler crane lies in their mobility and lifting capacity.

Hydraulic cranes are mobile cranes that are powered by a hydraulic system, which uses fluid to power the lifting and movement of the crane. Hydraulic cranes can be mounted on a truck or a wheeled chassis, making them highly maneuverable and easy to transport. They are often used for construction and maintenance tasks, and can lift loads ranging from a few tons to several hundred tons, depending on the model.

Crawler cranes, on the other hand, are large, heavy-duty cranes that are mounted on a set of tracks, or crawlers, rather than wheels. Crawler cranes are designed for heavy lifting and are typically used in construction, mining, and infrastructure projects. They can lift loads ranging from a few tons to over 3,000 tons, making them some of the most powerful cranes in the world. The tracks on a crawler crane enable it to move and lift heavy loads on uneven or soft terrain, and they have a wide range of uses including foundation work, bridge construction, and shipbuilding.

In summary, while hydraulic cranes are more mobile and versatile, they typically have a lower lifting capacity compared to crawler cranes. Crawler cranes are less mobile but are designed for heavy-duty lifting tasks on rough or uneven terrain.

What is the price of 3.2 ton hydraulic crane?

The price of a 3.2 ton hydraulic crane can vary depending on several factors such as the brand, model, age, and condition of the crane. Additionally, other factors such as delivery costs, taxes, and insurance can also affect the overall price.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the price of a new 3.2 ton hydraulic crane typically ranges from $20,000 to $50,000. However, prices for used or refurbished cranes can be significantly lower, depending on their age and condition.

It's important to note that the prices of hydraulic cranes can fluctuate based on market demand, currency exchange rates, and other economic factors. It's always a good idea to consult with a reputable crane dealer or manufacturer for accurate and up-to-date pricing information.

How do hydraulic cranes work?

Hydraulic cranes work on the principle of using fluid pressure to lift heavy loads. The crane has a hydraulic system that includes a hydraulic pump, hydraulic fluid, hydraulic cylinders, and control valves.

When the operator activates the control valves, hydraulic fluid is pumped from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic cylinders, which are located at the base of the crane's boom. The hydraulic cylinders extend, causing the boom to rise and the load to be lifted. Conversely, when the control valves are released, the hydraulic fluid is returned to the hydraulic tank, causing the hydraulic cylinders to retract, and the boom to lower.

Hydraulic cranes can be powered by different types of hydraulic systems, such as open-center, closed-center, or load-sensing. These systems allow for precise control over the crane's movements and make hydraulic cranes versatile and effective for a wide range of lifting applications.

The hydraulic system in a crane is designed to withstand high pressures, which allows for heavy lifting capacity, and the system is also designed to be durable and resistant to wear and tear.
