Understanding Truck Crane Anatomy: A Comprehensive Guide

“A dream come true,” exclaimed Mr. Bay from Nguyen Trai Street as he received his new truck equipped with a crane. His dream of owning a “two-in-one” truck, capable of both transporting and lifting goods, had finally become a reality. But few know that behind this powerful exterior lies a sophisticated system: the anatomy of a truck crane.

Truck Crane Structure: Each Part – A Mission

Truck cranes, also known as “mobile cranes,” are indispensable tools for drivers, enabling them to lift and move heavy loads. To better understand this “secret weapon,” let’s dissect each of its components:

1. Base System

• Chassis: This is the solid foundation for the entire crane system, typically made of high-strength steel to ensure durability and stability during operation.
• Outriggers: Like sturdy “legs,” outriggers stabilize the truck during crane operation, preventing tipping or tilting.
• Turntable: Allows the crane to rotate 360 degrees, providing flexibility in any situation.

2. Crane System

• Boom: The longest part, responsible for lifting loads, usually made of reinforced steel and may consist of several connected sections.
• Jib: Attached to the end of the boom, extending the crane’s reach.
• Wire Rope System: High-strength wire ropes connected to the hook, responsible for pulling and lifting loads.
• Winch: Enables easy and safe winding and unwinding of the wire rope.

3. Control System

• Hydraulic System: Powers the crane’s movements, including lifting, luffing (changing the boom angle), and rotating.
• Control Panel: Where the operator controls all crane operations precisely and safely.

The control panel is the crane’s command center, with buttons, switches, and displays that provide information and allow the operator to easily manipulate and monitor the system.
