Read More (About Lattice Boom Truck Cranes)Lattice boom truck cranes are heavy-duty commercial trucks equipped with a lattice boom crane in front of an operator’s cab. Often, these vehicles are equipped with one cab for driving the truck from the yard to the jobsite and a second cab for operating the crane. Their dual-cab nature also means that these vehicles often have “front” and “rear” (or “lower” and “upper”) engines. Other common features of these machines include a long tail and counterweight behind the crane cab, a crane boom that consists of strips of metal or metal bars that crisscross to form a reinforced structure capable of bearing a significant amount of weight. For the most part, lattice boom cranes consist of a boom and a jib that folds against the boom during transport to decrease overall length.
Compare these trucks to telescopic boom truck cranes, which can readily extend and retract the boom as needed. Like telescopic boom trucks, however, lattice boom truck cranes tend to have hydraulic outriggers capable of providing a stable foundation for the crane’s operation. Lift capacities of lattice boom truck cranes vary widely, with max lift numbers starting at around 30 tonnes (33 U.S. tons) or less and approaching 550 t (600 U.S. t) or more. Common boom lengths range from around 12 or 15 metres (40 or 50 feet) up to 60 m (200 ft) and longer.
