Terex Cranes Tucson

Within the crane business, the all-terrain crane is a luxury kind of a mobile hydraulic crane. The reputation of this crane is similar to driving a Hummer or a Range Rover on pavement. All-terrain cranes are considered to be a hybrid between a mobile truck crane and rough terrain crane. Another remarkable feature of this equipment is its multi-functional ability to be able to navigate through all kinds of off-road terrain. One of the main selling features of this specific crane is that it travels equally well at top speeds down roads.



The First Rough Terrain Crane

Grove introduced the first rough terrain crane to the market during 1959. The crane was designed for the intended application of being a multi-purpose equipment for use on construction sites. The industrial strength of the crane's tires is capable of handling all types of difficult terrain and is able to move small loads in carry mode. During the 1970s, Grove launched the 4 axle Super-RT 1650 model. This specific model has a 270 foot or 82.8 meter height under hook in production, in addition to a 135 ton lifting capacity. At the end of the day, the rough terrain crane would become the most notable machine of the company through the years.



The Crane's Drawbacks

Amongst the major disadvantages of the rough terrain crane was the issue that it was not capable of being driven on public highways with any other traffic. Japan was the only nation within the world which will make an exception to this rule. Moreover, one more issue happened when the lowered boom on the crane tended to block the driver's right and left views, that depends upon how the cap was positioned. All these issues with the crane's design ended up being both hazardous and serious and lead to many accidents with RT cranes, particularly while turning. As a result, low-loaders, lowboys, flatbeds were used as the primary means of transporting rough terrain cranes.
