Cranes and Outriggers

Electric cranes harness power from either your work truck’s battery or an external power source to execute lifting and maneuvering tasks. While they boast superior cost-effectiveness and demand minimal maintenance, they are best suited for light-duty assignments, capable of supporting loads typically up to 6,000 lbs.

Hydraulic cranes require a power take off (PTO) unit connected to your work truck’s chassis or transmission and a hydraulic system to pressurize and pump hydraulic fluid from a reservoir through hoses to cylinders on the crane’s arms to make them extend or retract. The truck’s engine or a separate power source generates this pressurization force, making it possible for the user to lift and maneuver loads typically up to 14,000 lbs.
