A towed tire-mounted crane is a special type of mobile tire cranes whose chassis design allows for movement via towing, combining the stability of a mobile tire cranes with the flexibility of a towing system.


High Stability: Mobile tire cranes have a wide wheelbase, resulting in high lateral stability. They are typically equipped with a box-type radial underframe and movable counterweights. Stability is further enhanced by outriggers during lifting operations, making them suitable for lifting and installing heavy objects on flat ground.


High Mobility: The towed design allows for easy movement on hard surfaces. Their travel speed is higher than that of crawler cranes. Their short body and small turning radius make them suitable for operation in confined spaces such as construction sites or docks.


Flexible Operation:A 360-degree slewing capability allows them to adapt to lifting needs in different directions. The hydraulic telescopic boom design facilitates adjustment of amplitude and height, enabling efficient and frequent lifting and lowering operations.


Large Load Capacity: While the rated lifting capacity is limited by boom strength and overall machine stability, a torque limiter prevents overloading, allowing for the lifting of heavy equipment ranging from tens to hundreds of tons.


Easy to maintain: The structural design emphasizes practicality, making component replacement and routine maintenance relatively easy. Modern models are also equipped with a self-diagnostic system, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
