A mobile crane is actually a type of a cable-controlled crane which is mounted on either crawlers or rubber-tired carriers. These types of cranes used to shift heavy and bulky materials from one place to another place. The crane comes in two different sizes. The first one is the small crane whose weight is about 10 tons and the length is about 20 meters. Whereas another one is the large crane whose weight is about 300 tons and the length is 60 meters.

What are the types of overhead mobile cranes?

Hydraulic crane

The Hydraulic mobile cranes run on hydraulic oil. These types of hydraulic cranes are mostly used today because of their safety and effortless features. The Hydraulic cranes are used to lift thousands of pounds of materials using hydraulic oil.

All Terrain cranes

These types of overhead mobile crane are multi functional cranes. The crane is an all-wheel drive. It is used to run smoothly on both highways and off roads with a speed of about 40 mph.

Rough terrain cranes

The rough terrain cranes are specially designed to run on off-road or on the rough road. It is because it is an all-wheel drive crane. These cranes have low lifting capacity so they work well in the rough terrain where heavy lifting is not required.

Crawler crane

The crawler cranes are the type of tracked roof mobile crane. They have the highest and the powerful lifting capacity. Their capacity is about 90 to 1200 tons.

Carry deck cranes

These types of cranes have a specialization in revolving around 360 degrees. For these specializations only it makes carry deck cranes best for performing the work in the construction area.

Advantages of the mobile cranes

Provide flexibility

One of the important advantages of the overhead mobile crane is that it provides flexibility and space in the construction area. The mobile crane has the specialization of working in limited space or area. They are also used in the busy construction sites.

Time-efficient

The setup of the roof mobile crane. is easy and quick. It will not take much of your time and the task can be also done quickly.

High level of strength

Maybe the size of the mobile crane is smaller as compared to the other cranes but their lifting capacity of the materials is very high. They also provide the safest way to lift up all the bulk materials. Mobile cranes are easily moved from one place to another place. One of the highest lifting capacity of a mobile crane is Hydraulic Crane.

Cost-effectively

The cost of the mobile crane is very low as compared to the other cranes. But it had the specialization in finishing the work quickly and more effectively.
Purposes of Mobile cranes

The followings are the construction areas in which the mobile cranes are needed and, they are:
• Houses
• Buildings
• Airports
• Roadways
