Verified & inspected used machinery auctions in UAE

Truck cranes combine high lifting capacity with a road-going mobile carrier, allowing crane fleets to travel between projects and set up for lifting without transporting the crane on a separate lowbed in many situations.

They are widely used for construction, infrastructure, steel erection, industrial installation, precast work, plant maintenance, equipment placement, and major lifting projects.

Makana's regular fully online, unreserved machinery auctions give contractors, crane-rental companies, industrial businesses, and equipment traders access to used truck cranes in the UAE.

Truck Cranes for Mobile Heavy Lifting

Truck cranes are designed for projects that require both substantial lifting capacity and movement between jobs.

Applications include:

Structural steel erection
Precast concrete installation
Heavy equipment placement
Industrial projects
Infrastructure
Bridge work
Mechanical installation
Construction
Plant maintenance
Utility projects

Telescopic booms allow quick setup and provide a wide range of working heights and radii.

50-Ton, 80-Ton and Larger Truck Cranes

Truck cranes are available across a broad capacity range.

Mid-capacity machines can cover general construction and equipment placement.

Higher-capacity models support heavier structural, infrastructure, and industrial work.

Makana's equipment inventory has included machines such as the Sany STC500 in the 50-tonne class and Zoomlion ZTC800V truck cranes in the 80-tonne class.

Actual lifting capability depends on boom length, working radius, counterweight configuration, and crane setup, so rated maximum capacity is only one part of the crane's working envelope.

Truck Crane vs Boom Truck Crane

A truck crane is a dedicated lifting machine on a purpose-built road carrier.

A boom truck crane mounts a smaller hydraulic crane on a conventional commercial truck chassis.

The boom truck is highly practical for material delivery and moderate lifting.

The dedicated truck crane provides greater lifting capacity, longer boom reach, more substantial outriggers, and a carrier designed specifically around crane operations.

Truck Crane vs Rough Terrain Crane

A truck crane is designed to move efficiently between projects using roads.

A rough terrain crane is optimised for movement on unfinished ground within the jobsite.

This makes truck cranes particularly useful for crane fleets serving several projects across the UAE, while rough terrain cranes fit projects where on-site off-road mobility is the priority.
