About Carry Deck & Pick & Carry Cranes

Broderson IC-80 Carry Deck Crane
These compact four-wheeled cranes have a distinctive look, with a rotating boom located in the center of the machine, the operator’s cab on one side, and a short flat carry or load deck on the opposite side of the mast. Most often, the machine’s engine is located underneath the carry deck. Depending on the machine, the engine can be powered by gas, diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), propane (LPG), hydrogen, or electricity. Some models have dual-fuel engines that support some combination of two fuels.
Common Characteristics
Carry deck and pick and carry cranes typically feature telescoping booms, a low center of gravity, and a low profile, enabling them to clear overhead obstacles and easily navigate cramped jobsites. Some models also have a wheelbase as narrow as 31 inches (787 millimeters), so they can be driven through standard doorways and operated indoors.
