Construction 55 Ton Truck Cranes
Construction 55 Ton Truck Cranes are heavy road-mobile cranes for lifts that call for more capacity and a longer boom than mid-size units can give. The crane travels on its own truck chassis, then sets outriggers and lifts with a telescopic hydraulic boom. We build them in China and export them factory-direct, with the specification locked before the build starts.
Jobs that call for 55 Ton Truck Cranes
At this size the crane starts to take on work that once needed a crawler crane. Typical tasks include setting bridge girders, erecting steel for warehouses, lifting tanks and pressure vessels, and placing wind or telecom tower sections. The long boom also helps when the crane cannot park close to the lift point, such as over a trench or a site fence.
Still, the 55 ton figure only holds at short radius on full outriggers. The load chart sets the real limit at each boom length and angle, and the ground under each pad must carry the outrigger force.
What is usually fitted
The table below lists the confirmed figures for this model, with typical items marked. For this class you can expect:
- Power: usually a diesel engine with telescopic hydraulic boom and outrigger stabilizers
- Control: hydraulic telescoping boom, cab and outrigger controls
- Steelwork: high-tensile steel boom, steel wire rope, and a heavy hook block
Before you place an order
A heavy crane is a large freight item, so we plan the shipping mode with you early. Buyers usually ask us whether the unit goes by roll-on roll-off or on a flat rack, and what the shipping weight and size will be. We also confirm steering side, cab climate, engine emission level and spare parts packs.
For tenders, share the technical spec and delivery date from the award. We match the configuration, confirm the compliance paperwork that can be supplied, and set a production slot against your deadline.
Other cranes in the range
If most of your lifts are lighter, the 12 ton mobile crane is far cheaper to run. For the heaviest road-mobile work, see the 100 ton truck crane. All models sit in our construction machinery category.
