What is a 5 Ton Truck Mounted Crane?
A 5 ton truck mounted crane is a crane on a truck. It lifts up to 5,000 kg. It drives to your site. It sets up fast. It lifts. It goes to the next job. You save time. You save money.
- It brings mobility.
- It brings versatility.
- It brings efficiency for mid duty lifts.
A 5 ton size fits many jobs. It fits city work. It fits field work. It fits tight spots.
Types You Can Choose
- Knuckle boom cranes. These fold. They bend at joints. They fit in small spaces. They place loads with care.
- Stiff boom cranes. These are straight or telescopic. They reach long. They lift strong at a set radius.
I help you pick the right type. I look at your loads. I look at reach. I look at sites. Then I guide you to the best fit.
