Mobile telescopic crane and lifting equipment

Telescopic cranes are another form of heavy cranes used to transport and maneuver objects from one place to another.

In addition, as telescopic cranes are also equipped with height adjustments, when it comes to transporting and transferring goods from one place to another, the problems related to height are completely eradicated.

Heavy cranes, such as telescopic cranes, can be mounted on top of a truck and then driven to those places where goods and loads need to be moved.

The main difference between a telescopic crane and other conventional cranes is that the former has a hollow telescopic boom that contains several tubes mounted on one side and another. A hydraulic mechanism allows the movement of elongation and refraction of the beam.

The most basic truck-mounted crane configuration is a "boom truck" or "lorry loader", which features a rear-mounted rotating telescopic-boom crane mounted on a commercial truck chassis.

Larger, heavier duty, purpose-built "truck-mounted" cranes are constructed in two parts: the carrier, often called the lower, and the lifting component, which includes the boom, called the upper. These are mated together through a turntable, allowing the upper to swing from side to side.

These modern hydraulic truck cranes are usually single-engine machines, with the same engine powering the undercarriage and the crane. The upper is usually powered via hydraulics run through the turntable from the pump mounted on the lower.
