Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

Mobile crane with separate transport vehicle	Higher cost and setup time, but greater lifting capacity and reach
Telescopic boom crane on same chassis	Better stability and reach at full extension, but less flexible in tight spaces
Standard flatbed truck with external crane	More reliable and faster to deploy, but requires coordination and scheduling with third party crane services

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm left or right hand drive chassis at order stage to match local road rules
Use only the designated crane lifting points and avoid overloading beyond 19.1 tons at 11 m radius
Engage anti-slewing impulse equipment before starting crane rotation
Check over-wind alarm function before each lift and stop if triggered
Perform daily checks on hydraulic hoses, seals, and boom joints for wear
Store the crane in the stowed position with boom secured during transport
