Let’s begin!
What Is a Truck Crane?
A truck crane is a type of mobile crane used to lift, move, and transport materials. It has three parts: (1) the cab, (2) the crane, and (3) the platform. The driver and operator stay in the cab while driving but they operate the crane from outside through a transmitter. The truck has a mounted crane that can lift loads, while the platform serves for placing loads and transporting them to different sites.
A truck crane has a different build from the rest of the mobile cranes and is widely applicable to most work fields. The truck-mounted crane allows multiple operations, making it versatile. Thus, most industries and companies consider buying or renting a truck crane to promote a continuous flow of their activities, such as in logistics, construction, and more.
Our crane rental service ensures reliability and high productivity in your projects. That is why we have decided to provide our new truck crane with a robust and reliable crane, the FASSI crane model F900XP. This crane type can lift up to 27 tons. Moreover, at 33 meters high (equivalent to the 8th floor of a building), it can hoist up to a ton of load. It can further extend its length, but only with lighter loads.
Section Summary: A truck crane is a special kind of mobile crane that can travel on highways or roads while easily transporting loads. They are built exactly for this purpose. If you want to know more about the different cranes used in construction and other activities, you can read our next blog titled: Different Construction Cranes and their Unique Features.
How Do You Get a Truck Crane for Your Project?
There are two ways to obtain a truck for your activities, either buying one or renting one.
When buying a truck crane, it is recommended to research the leading manufacturers that offer truck cranes. Compare them and take note of the essential points to follow for maximum efficiency and productivity of your projects:
- Lifting capacity
- Rear platform dimension
- Operating speed
You can also buy a chassis and then mount a crane separately. From our experience, we recommend FASSI cranes for their precision and wide variety depending on your work type.
When renting a crane, we recommend searching for a local crane rental agency on the internet. If you are looking for crane rental in Constanta, you are in the right spot since Kran offers a reliable crane rental service.
How Is Oversized Equipment Placed on the Platform?
For functional vehicles like caravans and cars, truck ramps are attached to the rear of the platform for easy loading. Non-functional vehicles from accidents or breakdowns can be carefully lifted with the crane.
The crane is robust enough to lift tons of weight, such as a large industrial boiler, or an oversized semi-trailer truck. The cranes are fantastic for their extraordinary lifting capacity of up to 27 tons.
What Kind of Rental Service Do We Offer?
We provide construction equipment and machinery rental in Constanta. These include truck-mounted cranes, forklifts, and AWP’s, as well as equipment for road works such as road rollers and tamping rammers, and many more.
We have a fleet of truck-mounted cranes of the following models:

What Kind of Heavy Loads Can Our Rental Truck Crane Lift?
Mankind possesses the capacity to turn ideas into reality. Throughout history, we have invented things that have helped us progress as a civilization. In addition to using technology to realize our dreams and ideas, we also pushed them to their limits to maximize the advantages. A great example would be “Big Carl”, the world’s largest crane which can lift 5,000 tons of load.
Through the invention of a truck crane that can lift and transport materials, several industries became more productive and efficient by executing their tasks faster. Although some industries only allow loading at half capacity, these trucks can be used to lift and carry loads even at their maximum capacity.
We will further exemplify what kinds of loads we can lift with our truck cranes. Some are based on our rental experience, types that we have handled previously, but read carefully to see what unique loads our truck cranes could also handle.
5-ton industrial water tanks lifting and transportation
A company contacted us to lift and transport their industrial water tanks. Each water tank weighed about five tons and was several meters taller than our truck (a lot of industrial equipment often has bulky structures).
The work was rather complex, needing to lift and transport one tank at a time. With confidence in our skills and our truck crane’s capacity, we handled the project successfully.
16-ton road roller and other heavy machinery towing
Have you ever seen how heavy specialized machinery is transported at the worksite? Since they cannot travel on roads or highways, they need transportation on a low bed trailer or a truck-mounted crane with a rear platform. A crane truck can easily transport a road roller on its platform.
We have experience in transporting our rental machinery anywhere where the clients need them. We have carried our road roller to construction sites, transported our heavy rental forklifts, our rental generators, and our excavators.
Furthermore, we served clients in search of transportation for their equipment, such as drilling machines or heavy semi-trailers. These machines are heavy and bulky, but our truck cranes can handle the load.
6-meters shipping container lifting and transportation
Some of the largest items we’ve ever transported with our truck cranes are the shipping containers. The 6-meters shipping containers fit just right on our trucks` rear platform. Although we’ve also lifted and moved 12-meter shipping containers on-site, they need a longer truck for transportation.
Sensitive industrial equipment
We’ve also handled sensitive equipment with our rental truck crane. An example is the industrial thermal boiler from a factory in Constanta. The job seems simple at first glance, but the load was fragile and complicated to handle because this equipment doesn’t have the center of gravity in the middle of the body. It needed careful maneuvering, but our professional and experienced team can safely handle such equipment.
Other times we transported and unloaded massive heavy-duty generators to local farms, other sensitive works that we handled successfully.
Our new truck crane has made its debut by transporting and lifting a massive 7-ton impeller for a workshop in Petromidia Năvodari Petroleum Refinery.
Yacht
Yacht owners often require rental truck crane services. They need transportation from county to county, beach to land, and vice versa. If you need to bring the yacht to a maintenance area by land, a truck crane is an answer.
In Constanta, we oftentimes offer our services in dockyards and harbors, as our truck cranes are highly fitted for yacht lifting and transportation. If you need to lift small boats like speed boats and big vessels, including yachts, we have the solution.
Unusual loads our truck crane could handle
We can also think of some unusual loads that we could transport on our truck cranes. For example, an armored vehicle would need special heavy towing in case of malfunctioning and would fit on our truck.
Here’s another example: two nuclear warheads, like the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, weigh around ten tons and would fit onto the platform of our truck cranes. Most military missions use trucks with platforms when transporting modern warheads along with their special convoys.
Many work fields benefit from a truck crane rental and we sometimes get surprising requests that we can honor with our services. If you need a crane rental service in Constanta or heavy equipment transportation in Constanta, you can contact us to share more details about your work.
