Rating of the best mobile cranes made in Russia for 2024

It is difficult to imagine a modern construction site without technical assistance. One of the main assistants on the site is a truck crane. In the construction equipment market, this category is one of the most popular. The invention became widespread a little later than the standard car and since then has been used on the vast majority of construction sites for loading and related work.

The combination of crane mechanisms and a conventional machine makes the invention mobile. In such a situation, the tool can be easily transported even to the most inaccessible places, for example, in the countryside. In addition, the truck crane copes well with the assigned tasks in urban environments.

History of appearance

The prototype of modern truck cranes is steam-powered tractors that served military purposes, such as helping with mobile construction or loading and unloading tools. Similar devices were used for civilian purposes, in the field of agriculture. Just as in modern times, steam machines helped with loading and unloading.

The first domestic crane (Atp-1) appeared at the beginning of the 30s of the last century and had sufficient power to lift a load of 1.5 thousand kg to a height of over 2 meters. Over time, these characteristics became insufficient and in the next decade the model was abandoned. The new Soviet-made development (Ak-3) surpassed the previous one by an order of magnitude and showed results corresponding to a carrying capacity of more than 4 tons with a maximum height of 4-5 m. Then the war began and the production of construction equipment was curtailed indefinitely. In the early 50s, the country rebuilt new factories and production resumed, and over time, the lack of construction equipment was reduced to a minimum. In the 60s of the last century, Soviet engineers invented an innovative model, the crane worked independently from the vehicle system. By the 70s, the approach to the design of such devices changed again, now the cranes are designed with a hydraulic drive. At the same time, the design of load-bearing trucks was also updated. The main changes in the new technology were considered the upgraded chassis with reinforcement and advanced, at that time, car engines, which together made the design the most competitive.

The main specification of modern domestic production of truck cranes is chassis standards for different lifting capacities. If we take models of a small segment, that is, 16-150 tons, then the chassis standards correspond to Russian ones. Models of high carrying capacity, that is, over 70 tons, use foreign-made chassis.A similar situation has arisen due to the lack of ability at Russian factories to manufacture structures designed for high carrying capacity.

Feedback:

“I am the director of a construction company, so I need to purchase the appropriate equipment for the job. As for the cranes, of course, the choice fell on a domestic manufacturer, because imported models are much more expensive. Truck cranes designed for loads of 100 tons from the Galichanin company show good results in terms of stability of operation and availability of maintenance. In addition, maintenance during the warranty period is free of charge, and the plant will cover these costs. I am already purchasing the 5th copy for the company and I can give a firm recommendation! ”
