<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn.antbuildz.com/images/800-LC HD.jpg"></figure>What is a Lorry Crane? Essentially, a lorry crane is a lorry vehicle that has a crane mounted onto the back of the lorry cab. The lorry cab then doubles as the driver’s cabin and crane operating booth. This makes the lorry crane a two-in-one piece of equipment that can both lift and transport moderate to heavy loads.&nbsp;Depending on size, the lifting capacity of a lorry crane is usually in the range of 5 to 20 tons. Options for 20 tons and above do exist, but they are not as common. On the other hand, the lifting height of a lorry crane is usually around 20m. Options for 30m and above are less common.&nbsp;In Singapore, the length of a lorry crane’s carriage deck is typically 20ft or 24ft. Due to the cargo space available, it is very common for contractors to rent lorry cranes for transporting other equipment or large items to and fro construction job sites.&nbsp;On top of that, a lorry crane can be transformed into platform equipment that allows workers to reach higher up touchpoints similar to the function of a boom lift. Hence, lorry cranes are one of the most valuable and useful pieces of equipment due to their mobility and flexibility to adapt to various use cases.&nbsp;In Singapore, lorry cranes are often categorized based on their main boom’s strength, so the naming “Lorry Crane 15T” does not necessarily translate to a 15-ton lifting capacity. Always refer to the specific load chart of the lorry crane for its actual lifting capacities and lifting height. The load charts will also clearly outline the various lifting capacity achievable at different lifting heights.&nbsp;Some well-known lorry crane brands include but are not limited to:<ol><li>Effer</li><li>Palfinger</li><li>Copma</li><li>Tadano</li><li>Fassi</li></ol><h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4>Reasons to rent a Lorry Crane</h4>If you’re looking to rent a lorry crane for your project or job site, it’s good to understand the key reasons for renting this equipment:&nbsp;<h4>1. Transportation</h4>One popular use case of a lorry crane is for transporting heavy construction equipment such as excavators. The crane can lift the equipment to load and unload it from the carriage deck during equipment delivery. Due to the crane’s design, it can also lift up or unload payloads below ground level if needed.&nbsp;Also, the lorry crane’s carriage deck can be loaded up with materials or cargo before delivery. Thus, allowing both cranage equipment and cargo to be delivered to a job site in one single trip. A lorry crane is self-transportable and does not require another vehicle to be transported to job sites. Some contractors even chose to rent a lorry crane over other cranage options due to this very reason.&nbsp;<h4>2. Lifting</h4>A lorry crane can manoeuvre loads into tight or restricted spaces thanks to its articulating crane arm. Depending on the model, the crane can be rotated 180 degrees or even 360 degrees. Lorry cranes also require relatively less space, making them ideal for urban and rural construction environments.&nbsp;<h4>3. Working at Height</h4>A bucket can be attached to the end of the crane to transform the lorry crane into highly mobile platform equipment. This makes it an excellent choice for tasks that require workers to constantly reach higher touchpoints over long distances. Examples for such tasks include tree pruning and fixing/maintenance of street lights.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn.antbuildz.com/images/800-tree prune.jpg"></figure><h2>Common FAQs</h2>&nbsp;1.
