About Telescopic Boom Truck Cranes

A telescopic boom truck crane refers to a wheeled truck that has a telescoping boom crane in front of an operator’s cab. Many of these vehicles include two cabs: one for driving the truck from one location to another, and a second cab for operating the crane, typically near the back of the vehicle. These dual-cab trucks have a front engine for operating the vehicle’s drivetrain and a rear engine for operating the crane.

Telescopic Boom vs. Lattice Boom Truck Cranes

Other common telescopic boom truck crane features include a long tail and counterweight behind the crane cab and a telescoping crane boom that is capable of bearing a significant amount of weight and can readily extend and retract as needed. Compare truck cranes to lattice boom truck crane variants, which can only be folded to shorten the boom for transport.

Heavy-duty telescopic boom truck cranes tend to have outriggers capable of providing a stable foundation for the crane’s operation. Lift capacities of telescopic boom truck cranes vary wildly, from up to 35 tons (32 metric tons) to as much as several hundred tons. Common boom lengths range from around 50 feet to 200 feet (15 to 61 meters) and higher.
