What is a crawler crane?

A crawler crane is a heavy lifting crane mounted on tracks (crawlers) that provide excellent stability and maneuverability on uneven or soft ground. They are ideal for construction, infrastructure, and heavy industrial projects.

Key benefits of a crawler crane

• Superior ground contact for reduced ground pressure and improved stability.
• On-site mobility without the need for assembly on some models.
• High lifting capacity suitable for heavy components and long booms.
• Versatile configurations: lattice booms, telescopic jibs, and counterweight options.

Typical applications

• Bridge and infrastructure construction
• Wind-turbine erection and maintenance
• Heavy industrial installations (boilers, reactors)
• Port and marine construction
