This number is important to bear in mind, as it will determine the more practical applications your crane can be used for. The max load rating on a crane will determine the maximum amount of weight that a crane can lift in a certain position AND at a certain angle. However, the purpose of this post is to explain how to properly read a truck crane manufacturer’s spec sheet to determine the max load of your crane in several different positions (this varies, depending upon the reach and angle of the crane.) So… as you probably expected, there is no clear-cut answer to this question. How much they are able to lift is completely dependent on the type of crane, the size of the crane, and the max load rating specified by the manufacturer.
Truck cranes are one of the most useful additions contractors and business owners can add to a service truck body.
