Select the right type of truck crane You can buy cranes for pickups, flat bed trucks, and trailers. If your business owns more than one type of vehicle, consider getting a crane for the most powerful vehicle you own. If your pickup is newer, for example, it may be in better shape to handle a heavy duty truck crane. Many cranes designed for pickup trucks are designed to be easily transported from site to site, which may be ideal if you have multiple properties.

I recommend:  Liftmoore, Inc. manufacturers a number of cranes for trucks and pickups. If you need to rent heavy duty truck cranes periodically, Irving is a good place to rent the equipment you need.

Evaluate your truck crane needs You must consider your needs when buying truck mounted cranes. If you will be doing light to medium lifting of landscaping supplies, building materials and debris, for example, hydraulic truck cranes that can lift up to 200 pounds may work for you. You can often buy these truck cranes for sale new from dealers or used through auctions.

I recommend:  Tadano is a reputable company if you want to rent truck cranes. Edwards is also a reputable company for renting commercial truck cranes and industrial cranes.

Consider the features before buying a truck crane Cranes for pickup trucks and other vehicles come with features, and some of these features are quite important. For example, you might want to ensure that any electric truck crane you buy is completely transferable, since it is very likely that your company truck will wear out before the heavy duty truck crane. If you are buying used truck cranes, test them and make sure that the cranes have remote controls as well as manual controls.

I recommend:  Work Truck Outfitters offer a range of cranes and crane accessories to outfit your work truck. Real Work Trucks also has a range of cranes.
