Special equipment: selection of truck cranes

Liebherr, Grove, XCMG: selection for a technical task

ILIEV Solutions maintains direct contact with the manufacturing plants of the three brands - this means up-to-date specifications, accurate information on availability and delivery times without intermediary delays.

If the project requires a crane of another brand - the partner network in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands is involved.

Liebherr: highway and all-terrain truck cranes

Liebherr - is a technical benchmark in the mobile crane segment. LTM series highway cranes cover the range from 50 to 1,200 tons of lifting capacity with telescopic booms up to 100 m.

LG and LTR series all-terrain cranes are designed to work on unprepared sites with limited access.

The LICCON control system provides precise control of load-height characteristics in real time - critical for installation on a dense urban site or near existing structures.

New and used Liebherr LTMs are available from Germany and the Netherlands with a full set of documents and a confirmed service history.

Grove: models for urban and industrial construction

Grove (Manitowoc Group) - is an American platform with an extensive line of GMK series highway cranes.

GMK 4080-1 (80 t) and GMK 5130-2 (130 t) - are the most in-demand models for urban construction and industrial installation: a compact base for working in dense developments and high cross-country ability on sites with limited infrastructure.

Grove is distinguished by the reliability of its hydraulic system during continuous cyclic work - relevant for construction projects with daily intensive loads.

Used Grove GMKs from Europe - are a common choice for contractors looking for proven equipment with a documented maintenance history.

XCMG: truck cranes up to 500 t: selection and comparison

XCMG QY and XCA series cover the range from 25 to 500 tons and are a reasonable alternative to European brands where the priority - is a lower machine-hour cost with preserved technical resource.

XCA 60E (60 t) and XCA 130L (130 t) - are models with modern Rexroth hydraulics and Cummins engines, which simplifies service and searching for spare parts in the region.

XCMG is supplied new from the factory in China or through the warehouses of authorized dealers in Poland and Romania.

How a truck crane is selected for a project

The selection of a truck crane begins with three parameters: load weight, required boom reach and hook lifting height.

These three values determine the minimum lifting capacity of the crane at a specific reach - and this is where mistakes most often occur during independent selection based on passport data.

ILIEV Solutions analyzes the site plan, site limitations and outrigger installation conditions, after which it recommends a model with a confirmed load characteristic at the required reach - not the maximum passport one, but the real working one.

Additional selection parameters: site covering type, access height restrictions, the need to work in cramped conditions, registration requirements in UA, RO or MD.

Used truck cranes from Europe are checked according to a fixed list of components before dispatch.

Telescopic boom - condition of sections, extension hydraulics, wear of guides.
Hydraulic system - pressure in lifting and telescoping circuits, condition of hydraulic pumps.
Winches - condition of ropes, braking systems.
Outriggers - stroke, fixation, cylinder tightness.
Electronics - load moment indicator system, calibration of angle and reach sensors.
The VIN, technical passport and the correspondence of the serial number to the documents are checked.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to select a truck crane by lifting capacity?

Lifting capacity is determined not by the maximum passport value, but by the load characteristic at a specific boom reach.

Provide the load weight, required reach and lifting height, and ILIEV Solutions will select a model with a confirmed working characteristic at your site.

What truck cranes are suitable for working in the city?

Highway cranes with a compact base and the ability to install outriggers on a limited area are suitable for urban sites: Liebherr LTM series and Grove GMK.

Important parameters: outrigger installation radius, weight without counterweights and permissible ground pressure.

Is it possible to select a used truck crane with a technical audit?

ILIEV Solutions conducts a technical inspection of used cranes before delivery: boom, hydraulics, winches, outriggers, electronics, documents.

The client receives equipment with a confirmed condition, and not just according to the seller's description.

How long does the selection and delivery of a truck crane take?

The selection and approval of a model takes approximately 3-7 days depending on the technical task. Delivery of a used crane from Poland or the Czech Republic takes in the range of 2-4 weeks, a new one from the factory is approximately from 6 weeks.

Deadlines are clarified after determining the specific model and shipping point.
