Essential Parts Of A Truck Mounted Crane

Jun 01, 2024 Leave a message

  • Jib or pulley – This is the grid structure that extends a telescopic boom's length.

 

  • Outriggers – These are retractable supports that give the crane stability and balance by increasing its overall footprint.

  • Counterweights – These are the heavy weights that keep the machine steady during lifts. They're placed on the back of the cab and further helps reduce the risk of the crane tipping over.

 

  • Load Movement Indicator – This is a safety device with a sensor that warns and prevents overload. It lets the operator know when the maximum lifting capacity of the truck mounted crane is reached to avoid crane malfunction and accidents.

 

  • Rotex Gear – This element allows the operator to make accurate side-to-side movements during lifts. It's usually controlled by a joystick controller located inside the operator's cab.

 

  • Two-Gear Pump – It is a key component that helps to pressurize the hydraulic system and is connected to the hydraulic pistons, pipes, and hoses. It pressurizes the hydraulic fluid needed to generate enough power to lift a load regardless of its weight.
