Crawler Crane
Concept of Crawler Crane :This crane is used in high-rise construction, it can travel by its crawler, its jib is very flexible when working
Working Application of Crawler Crane :Used in outdoor field and construction site
Loading capacity of Crawler Crane :15~1800Ton
Advantage of Crawler Crane :Contact ground sufficiently, climbing ability and with good performance, flexible and convenient operating performance is the highest, the structure is simple, cheaper prices, 25% cheaper than truck crane
Disadvantage of Crawler Crane :Slow speed, damage ground, working time and evacuating is long,
Structure of Crawler Crane :It should transport equipment, on-site installation and require larger installation space and lifting equipment installation together. Crawler bottom, it can travel with loading.

Mobile truck crane
Concept of Mobile truck crane:It is a truck who equipped a jib crane on trailer. Its jib is main lifting tool.
Working Application of Mobile truck crane:Large construction units or temporary liquidity dispersed site and open handling operation.
Loading capacity of Mobile truck crane:3~200Ton
Advantage of Mobile truck crane:Fast traveling speed, good performance
Disadvantage of Mobile truck crane:it must have leg when work, can't travel when loading, not suitable for work in soft or muddy field

Tyre Crane
Concept of Tyre Crane: Similar as crawler crane, but its traveling mechanical is tyre instead of crawler.
Working Application of Tyre Crane:Relatively fixed construction site, especially for narrow construction site
Loading capacity of Tyre Crane: 5~80Ton
Advantage of Tyre Crane: Wide wheel distance, stability, short body, small radius, 360 degrees of work.
Disadvantage of Tyre Crane: Slow speed, damage ground, complex structure, more 15% expensive than truck crane.
Structure of Tyre Crane: Special base, cabin on slewing plate, controlling adopts special chassis, suspension, can be all-wheel drive and steering, off-road driving.
