Transporting a Crane

Transporting a crane can be a complex and challenging process and requires careful planning and execution to ensure that the crane arrives at the job site safely and in prime condition. 

 It is important to work professionals who are experienced and have the expertise and equipment necessary to transport cranes safely and efficiently.

Cranes are usually transported to and from job sites on specialized trucks or trailers that are designed to carry heavy loads. The type of truck or trailer used to transport a crane depends on the size and weight of the crane.

For smaller cranes, a standard flatbed or lowboy trailer may be used, while larger cranes may require specialized trailers with multiple axles to distribute the weight of the load. In some cases, cranes may be partially disassembled and transported in pieces to reduce the overall weight and size of the load.

Once the crane has been loaded onto the trailer, it must be secured to prevent shifting or damage during transport. The process of securing the crane typically involves using chains, straps, and other devices to anchor the crane to the trailer, ensuring that it remains stable and secure during transit.
