How do we define a self-propelled crane?
This machine stands out for its remarkable autonomy. No tractor is needed to move it. It has its own engine, allowing it to drive and lift loads completely independently.
Thoughts for managing on her own
The real strength of these machines lies in their movement under load. You grab a heavy piece with the telescopic boom, then drive smoothly to the drop-off point. Naturally, this saves a tremendous amount of time and avoids cluttering the site with fifty different machines. In fact, it's often nicknamed the "slow crane," given its cautious approach on uneven ground.
Everything is controlled from the cabin
The crane operator manages absolutely everything from their seat, from driving to lifting. This centralizes controls, provides excellent visibility, and above all, enhances safety. The operator's day is much more comfortable since they don't have to make multiple ascents and descents.
Self-propelled crane and road-mobile crane: what are the differences?
These two major families are often confused. However, in practice, they do not do the same job at all.
Two very distinct uses
The road version is designed to devour kilometers on public roads. It's often compared to a crane truck, with its multiple axles allowing it to travel at high speeds. The problem is that once it arrives at a complex construction site, its large size can quickly become a hindrance.
The key advantage for difficult access
Mobile cranes, on the other hand, thrive in challenging environments. Their compact size and large all-terrain tires help them maneuver easily, even in mud or tight corners. They don't break any speed records on asphalt, but they excel where a road-going model would simply get stuck.
Our range of self-propelled cranes
We select equipment that can withstand the vagaries of the weather and the most challenging terrain. We distribute the Terex range, a true benchmark for reliability in difficult areas. Mud, steep slopes, confined worksites—these machines don't flinch.
Terex Model Table
Here is a brief overview of the capabilities available to support your teams on a daily basis.
| Model | Capacity (t) | Arrow (m) | Shift | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terex A600 | 60 t | 32.4 m | 4×4 | Rough terrain, Construction |
| Terex TRT 35 | 35 t | 30.1 m | 4×4 | Confined spaces |
| Terex TRT 80 | 80 t | 42.1 m | 4×4 | Heavy infrastructure |
One machine for each environment
With a wide range of tonnages available, we meet all the needs of today's construction industry. Each model guarantees perfect stability, from approach to installation.
Choosing your lifting capacity
Tonnage is what determines the success of the project. It is essential to accurately anticipate the maximum weight to be lifted and the effective reach to reach the intended area.
Focus on agility with smaller builds
A 35-tonne machine works wonders in urban areas or on medium-sized projects. It easily maneuvers between walls. Furthermore, it can be easily transported from one site to another on a specially adapted trailer.
Power at the service of industry
As soon as the loads become more complex, switching to a 50 or 60-tonne machine becomes the obvious choice. We consult the charts together to determine the exact right machine. There's no need to go overboard; the goal is to control the budget while ensuring maximum safety during operations.
Investing in new or choosing second-hand
Purchasing this type of equipment represents a significant financial investment. Several options are available to you, depending on the duration of your project and your financial situation.
The advantage of buying new
Buying new gives you access to the very latest technologies, such as ultra-precise remote control systems. It's the peace-of-mind option for businesses that handle large-scale operations throughout the year.
The opportunity, a clever alternative
If you're looking to reduce costs, opting for a used crane is a great option. In our workshops, each machine undergoes a thorough inspection before being put back on the market. You'll leave with fully functional equipment at a much lower price. Feel free to browse our used equipment section to see what we have available.
