New cranes

About cranes
Below you'll find a simple description of the three major types of cranes; Truck-, Rough Terrain-, and All Terrain Cranes.

Truck Crane (TC)
A crane made only for the road, is not adequate for rough terrain due to its small twin tyres, driven axles and the large size of the machine.

It has simple mechanics, not as agile as his brother, Rough and All Terrain.

Rough Terrain Crane (RT)
Foremost a rough terrain crane which can of course be used on a solid base. Important is that this crane is not designed for long-distance travel.

The large driven and steerable wheels allow for very good all terrain flexibility and manoeuvrability. Very suitable as long as long journeys are not necessary.

All Terrain Crane (AT)
All Terrain Cranes can drive on the road as well as operate in terrain. Again the large driven, steerable wheels allow for very good manoeuvrability and flexibility. This type of crane is getting more and more popular all over the world, and has extremly good liftingcapacity.

The AT combines the advantages of the TC and RT: fast travel on the road, rough terrain manoeuvrability and flexibility. This is now becoming more and more recognised by other industrial nations, especially in Norway, Germany, Japan, Korea, and the USA.
