Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

6x4 truck crane with 10-ton capacity	Lower lifting capacity but better maneuverability in tight urban spaces
Mobile crane with fixed base	More mobile and self-contained but requires setup time and larger footprint
Standard lorry with external crane	Higher cost and coordination effort; this model integrates both functions in one vehicle

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm left or right hand drive and cab configuration before ordering to match local regulations
Use the crane only within the rated lifting capacity and reach limits
Engage the anti-slewing impulse system when moving with the crane in operation
Inspect hydraulic hoses and connections before each shift for leaks or damage
Use radio remote control only in clear line of sight and with trained operators
Perform routine maintenance on the engine, gearbox, and hydraulic system as per the manual
