City Cranes

Here are 3 key features of mobile city cranes:

  • Compact Design & Exceptional Manoeuvrability:

City cranes are specifically engineered to be smaller and more nimble than traditional mobile cranes. This allows them to navigate narrow urban streets, congested construction sites, and even fit through tight access points where larger cranes simply cannot operate. Their multiple axles and advanced steering modes (like crab steer) enable precise positioning in confined areas.

  • Telescopic Booms for Versatility:

Equipped with highly telescopic booms, city cranes offer impressive reach and lift heights despite their compact size. This flexibility allows them to access elevated areas inside buildings, lift loads onto rooftops, and perform precise placements within restricted spaces. Many also feature hydraulic fly jibs or searcher hooks for enhanced versatility in complex lifting scenarios.

  • Quick Setup and Relocation:

A significant advantage of city cranes is their rapid setup and dismantling times. They can be driven to a site, set up for a lift, and then quickly packed away and moved to another location, minimising disruption to traffic and project timelines. This efficiency makes them ideal for multiple short-duration tasks.
