KEEP ON TRUCKIN '
One of the major downsides of running specialist, low volume equipment is that it can be very expensive to operate, maintain and repair. The growth of the All Terrain crane over the past 40 years or so has transformed the mobile crane sector particularly in Europe and increasingly elsewhere. However, thanks to their specialist drive trains, complexity and relatively low production runs, they fall into the ‘more costly to run category.' Its predecessor and alternative, the truck crane, benefits from a standard commercial chassis or running gear. We take a look at the various sectors of this changing market.
The All Terrain crane was originally conceived as ‘jack of all trades' - a sort of ‘have your cake and eat it' product, designed to be as adept on site as a Rough Terrain, while keeping up with truck cranes on the road - well almost. The original thought was that crane rental companies would have a mix of truck cranes and All Terrains, so that they could charge a premium for the more expensive and costlier ATs.
