About Rough-Terrain Cranes

Grove RT770 Rough-Terrain Crane
Rough-terrain cranes are the beasts of burden needed to get heavy lifting jobs done in hard-to-reach places. This is why most of them come with four-wheel drive as well as four-wheel steering for maximum manoeuvrability and traction.
What makes rough-terrain cranes different from all-terrain cranes, for example, is that they aren’t necessarily designed to drive on highways, which means they often require a truck and trailer of some kind to haul them from site to site. However, once you get them off-road and into those harsher environments, they’re ready for action as heavy-duty, highly durable lifting machines.
