Mobile cranes are a type of crane that are designed to be transported to different locations on the road. These cranes are mounted on a wheeled vehicle or a crawler track, which allows them to be moved easily from one job site to another. Mobile cranes are typically used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries where heavy lifting is required. There are several types of mobile cranes, including truck-mounted cranes, rough terrain cranes, and all-terrain cranes. Truck-mounted cranes are mounted on a truck chassis and are designed for easy transportation on public roads. Rough terrain cranes are designed for use on rough terrain, such as construction sites, and are equipped with four-wheel drive and a telescopic boom. All-terrain cranes are designed for use on both public roads and rough terrain, and are equipped with both on-road and off-road capabilities. Mobile cranes are typically operated by a trained crane operator, who uses a set of controls to move the crane and lift heavy objects. The operator must be trained in the safe operation of the crane, as well as in the proper use of rigging equipment and other tools. Mobile cranes are an important tool in many industries, as they allow for the safe and efficient lifting of heavy objects. They are often used in construction to lift steel beams, concrete blocks, and other heavy materials. They are also used in manufacturing to move large pieces of equipment and machinery.
