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. 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.

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. 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. In Singapore, the length of a lorry crane’s carriage deck is typically 20ft or 24ft.

Options for 30m and above are less common. On the other hand, the lifting height of a lorry crane is usually around 20m. Options for 75 tons and above do exist, but they are not as common. This makes the lorry crane a two-in-one piece of equipment that can both lift and transport moderate to heavy loads.ĭepending on size, the lifting capacity of a lorry crane is usually in the range of 5 to 75 tons. The lorry cab then doubles as the driver’s cabin and crane operating booth. Essentially, a lorry crane is a lorry vehicle that has a crane mounted onto the back of the lorry cab.
