Rating of the best Russian-made truck cranes for 2022

It is difficult to imagine a modern construction site without the help of technology. One of the main assistants on the site is a truck crane. In the construction equipment market, this category is one of the most sought after. The invention became widespread a little later than the standard car and has since been used on the vast majority of construction sites for loading and related work.

The combination of mechanisms of a crane and a conventional machine gives the invention mobility. In this situation, the tool can be easily transported even to the most inaccessible places, for example, in the countryside. In addition, the truck crane perfectly copes with the tasks and in urban conditions.

History of appearance

The prototype of modern truck cranes are tractors that worked with steam and served military purposes, such as helping with mobile construction or loading and unloading guns. Similar devices were also used for civilian purposes, in the field of agriculture. Just as in modern times, steam engines helped with loading and unloading.

The first domestic crane (Atp-1) appeared in the early 30s of the last century and had sufficient power to lift a load of 1.5 thousand kg to a height of over 2 meters. Over time, these characteristics became insufficient and in the next decade the model was abandoned. The new development of Soviet production (Ak-3) surpassed the previous one by an order of magnitude and showed results corresponding to a carrying capacity of over 4 tons at a maximum height of 4-5 m. Then the war began and the production of construction equipment was curtailed for an indefinite period. In the early 50s, the country built new enterprises and production resumed, and over time, the lack of construction equipment was reduced to a minimum. In the 60s of the last century, Soviet engineers invented an innovative model, the crane worked autonomously from the car system. By the 70s, the approach to the design of such devices had changed again, now cranes are designed with a hydraulic type drive. At the same time, the design of load-bearing trucks was also updated. The main changes in the new technology were considered to be upgraded chassis with reinforcement and advanced, at that time, auto engines, which together made the design the most competitive.

The main specification of the modern domestic production of truck cranes is the chassis standards for different load capacities. If we take models of a small segment, that is, 16-150 tons, then the chassis standards correspond to Russian ones. Models with high load capacity, that is, over 70 tons, use foreign-made chassis. A similar situation has arisen due to the lack of opportunities at Russian factories to manufacture structures designed for high load capacity.

Review:

“I am the director of a construction company, so I need to purchase the appropriate equipment for my work. As for the taps, naturally, the choice fell on a domestic manufacturer, because imported models are much more expensive. Truck cranes designed for loads from 100 tons from the company "Galichanin" show good results in terms of stability and availability of TO. In addition, maintenance during the warranty period is free, the factory bears these costs. I am already buying the 5th copy for the company and I can give a solid recommendation!”
