What is a mobile tower crane?

The operating principle

This type of machine is a game-changer on the job site. Unlike traditional fixed installations, the self-propelled tower crane has its own chassis. The mast and boom fold directly onto the truck for easy road transport. Once on site, the machine deploys its outriggers and counterweights. Assembly then occurs automatically, without any tedious manual intervention. This is precisely what makes it one of the most versatile pieces of equipment on the market. You arrive in the morning and can start working immediately.

Mobile tower crane vs. conventional tower crane

It all comes down to site preparation. A fixed crane requires days of assembly, the assistance of another crane, and the pouring of a concrete foundation. The mobile version, on the other hand, arrives ready to use and positions itself on its own supports. Site managers love this tower crane on wheels when time is of the essence or space is severely limited. No more work areas blocked for weeks.

Here's an overview of the capabilities of our flagship models to give you an idea. Of course, our teams always tailor the solution to the specific constraints of your site.

The many advantages offered by mobile tower cranes

The mobile tower crane offers numerous advantages for lifting heavy loads. Operated by a single person, the crane can be deployed or retracted in minutes without requiring dismantling or specialized technical intervention. Truck-mounted cranes can be easily transported using the national road network, allowing for flexible access to the worksite. Larger machines can also be transported via the road network as special convoys.

The mobile tower crane can easily move from one construction site to another without requiring any assembly or disassembly, thus offering an economical solution with only one operator needed from start to finish.

For which construction sites should this equipment be used?

Interventions in city centers and restricted spaces

Working in the heart of a city is often a challenge. Space is scarce, and residents dislike prolonged noise. This is where a mobile crane truck becomes invaluable. The machine easily maneuvers into courtyards or narrow alleyways. It positions itself as close as possible, performs its lifting work, and then leaves the same evening, leaving the area clear. It's a real game-changer for difficult access situations.

The carpentry work and the installation of modules

Construction professionals love using it for short jobs. Erecting a roof frame requires speed and precision. The same goes for assembling modular homes or prefabricated elements. You need a reliable tool to lift heavy loads smoothly. With a mobile tower crane, you can keep pace with your teams without wasting time waiting for a conventional lifting device.

Quick assembly and on-site commissioning

An automated and autonomous installation

The major advantage of this machine is its setup. The crane operator parks the truck, initiates the commands, and simply monitors the deployment. Everything is done automatically in just a few dozen minutes. There's no need for a separate erection crane. Using a fast-erecting tower crane makes site preparation much safer. It requires fewer people on the ground and significantly reduces the risk of accidents related to heavy loads.

Logistics, transport and regulations

Moving such a machine inevitably requires some organization. Depending on its size, the crane will either move on its own or be transported on a lowboy trailer. If you need to set up on a public road, authorization from the town hall is required. As for operating it, a specific CACES certification is of course necessary. Rest assured, our team will assist you with all these procedures so that your project starts on schedule.
