Truck Mounted Cranes With Telescopic Booms are much larger and heavier than other cranes and typically require more axles and permits to put on the road and drive to sites.

And since these cranes are heavier and larger, they require additional trucks to transport the crane’s counterweights, outriggers, and jibs.

Mobile truck cranes can also perform pick and carry operations. Currently, the largest mobile truck crane is the Liebherr 11200 which is capable of lifting 2.8 million tons and has an incredible boom length of 328 feet. It can attach a jib giving it an additional 413 feet of reach.
