The mobile crane has become an increasingly popular machine in
industry, and it is becoming the preferred option as far as cranes and lifting
equipment go. These machines are used greatly in construction to shift
building materials, while warehouses and factories make use of them to load and
unload. Depending on the industry they are operating in, companies’ lifting
demands are somewhat diverse, so utilising a versatile crane that can be used
to complete many tasks is a priority. New technology has allowed for this. We
look at some of the latest developments in mobile crane technology below.

The multi-functionality of the mobile crane is one of its best
characteristics. It can travel long distances to work sites, and its all wheel
drive capability allows it to function well in just about any terrain
conditions. Like with all cranes, new technology has been developed to make the operation of this machine more straightforward and convenient. Best of all, it’s
lower operating costs too.
A mobile crane is usually a wire controlled machine mounted on a
truck or rubber-tired carriers. There is a telescopic boom on the truck
platform fitted with hydraulic power, chains and a control panel, so it has the
ability to lift heavy loads.
Advanced telescoping or lattice boom capable cranes can be
operated in diverse areas for difficult lifting purposes. New Auto Cat technology
has enabled them to function faster and more smoothly. Modern cranes are also
built with improved safety features, which is possibly the biggest priority in
the manufacturing of machinery.

Another recent technological advancement that has been extremely
beneficial has been GPS tracking systems. Installed into the crane, this
provides information about distance traveled for fuel consumption and
regulatory compliance. If you've hired a large number of cranes, GPS systems
also allow the tracking of their locations and status. In the case of mobile
cranes, which often travel long-distances, it can be very helpful to know
exactly where the machine is at all times.
Quicklift utilises these features and has a modern fleet
consisting of more than 20 well maintained machines. Technological advances are
being developed all the time and we are committed to providing these advantages
to our customers. Not only that, but our team will guide you through every step
of the process to help you get the right crane for the job and get the work
done on-site as quickly and safely as possible.
