Crawler cranes are a type of mobile crane that use tracks or “crawlers” instead of wheels. These heavy-duty cranes are designed to handle a variety of terrain and can be used for a wide range of projects. They provide many advantages such as stability, ease of operation, multi-industry applications, long useful life, and value retention.

Crawler cranes are used in a variety of industries and applications. Their versatility and stability make them ideal for handling heavy loads, especially in challenging environments. Here are some common uses for crawler cranes:

1. General Construction

2. Industrial Jobsites

1. Infrastructure applications

1. Demolition

1. Offshore fabrication

2. Wind energy applications
   
   

Buying a used crane can have several benefits. First, it can be much more cost-effective than buying new or renting. Brand new equipment represents a large capital investment, and the initial purchase is just the beginning; maintaining, storing, transporting, and keeping an entire infrastructure to support it can prove costly; a used crane can still offer superior performance at a reduced cost. You can find the right financing for a used crane so that the costs are spread out over time. Second, a used crane can be available much more quickly than waiting for a rental to become available or a new one to be built and delivered, especially in times of slower supply chains. Finally, used crawler cranes are a valuable investment that are based on your individual situation and can even provide some tax benefits.

The capacities of used crawler cranes can vary depending on the make and model of the crane. Generally, crawler cranes’ load capacities can range from 80 tons all the way to 3,000 tons.

The cost of a used crawler crane can vary depending on several factors, such as the age, make, capacity, model, condition, configuration, capacity enhancing attachments as well and usage history. At Maxim we offer a wide range of used crawler cranes at competitive prices.

While crawler cranes belong in the mobile cranes family they stand out as they are mounted on tracks rather than wheels. Because of this special design, crawler cranes are typically more stable than other types of mobile cranes making them suitable for job sites with adverse terrain conditions. Most crawler cranes are also equipped with lattice booms which increases their lifting capacity and makes them more resistant to wind conditions.

To ensure that you are buying a used crawler crane from a reputable crane company, look at the company’s history, reviews, visit their facilities and get a feel for the company as a whole. Additionally, you can ask for references from previous customers. Finally, always inspect your crane and ask about the service and operating history.
