Gantry & Mobile Cranes
Mobile Crane
Mobile cranes for sites where the crane itself has to move between working positions. They travel independently without disassembly, which makes them suited to work spread across a site, and many models are fitted with telescopic booms and a small footprint for confined spaces.
Product Overview
Mobile cranes for sites where the crane itself has to move between working positions. They travel independently without disassembly, which makes them suited to work spread across a site, and many models are fitted with telescopic booms and a small footprint for confined spaces. Specifications in the range reach up to 300 tons and above.
Key Benefits
- Travels between working positions without being dismantled
- Telescopic boom models for confined working areas
- Small footprint compared with fixed lifting structures
- High lifting capacities within one mobile machine
- No runway or gantry structure required
Problems It Solves
- Fixed cranes that only serve one bay while the work moves
- Confined areas where a large machine cannot be positioned
- Repeated hire costs for lifts that happen regularly
- Lifting in locations with no structure to mount a crane on
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers
Application Scenarios
- Construction sites where lifting points move as work progresses
- Automotive manufacturing plants
- Energy plant construction and maintenance
- Mining site equipment handling
- Shipping and port related handling
Who It Is For
- Contractors working across a large site
- Plant maintenance teams covering several buildings
- Operators with lifting needs in more than one location
- Companies that currently hire in lifting equipment repeatedly

Customisation Options
What Can Be Varied
- Model selected by capacity and site access
- Boom configuration for the working radius required
- Control and cabin arrangement
- Outrigger arrangement for the ground conditions
Compared With The Alternatives
| Gantry crane | A gantry works within a fixed track; a mobile crane goes where the work is, at the cost of setup time at each position. |
|---|---|
| Overhead bridge crane | The bridge crane is faster and cheaper per lift within one bay; the mobile crane is the answer when lifting happens in many places. |
Use Guide
- Check ground bearing capacity at each planned lifting position
- Plan the working radius, since capacity falls as the boom extends
- Confirm site access dimensions for the machine itself
- Agree operator training and certification requirements locally
Questions
Questions Buyers Ask About This Product
What capacities are available?
The range extends up to 300 tons and above, depending on model.
Does the crane need to be dismantled to move?
No. These mobile cranes travel between sites independently, which is their main advantage over fixed lifting equipment.
Can it work in a confined space?
Many models have telescopic booms and a small footprint for exactly that situation.
Which industries use these cranes?
Construction, automotive manufacturing, energy, mining and shipping among others.
How do I choose the right model?
Send the heaviest load, the working radius at which it must be lifted and the site access dimensions, and we will propose models that match.
