What is a truck-mounted crane?

Simply put, a truck-mounted crane is a lifting device installed on a cargo truck. It cleverly combines the functions of cargo transport and lifting-much like giving a truck a "super arm." This "arm" is not just a simple piece of machinery; it consists of several components, each serving a specific purpose. The crane boom is the primary working component-much like a human arm, it can extend, retract, raise, and lower, allowing for precise positioning of the load. A slewing mechanism enables the boom to rotate 360 ​​degrees within a certain range, greatly enhancing flexibility by allowing cargo to be picked up and moved from various directions. Then there is the hook-the "hand" that directly engages with the load. Depending on the type of cargo being handled, these hooks come in various designs and specifications.
