As the name suggests, overhead cranes are those cranes placed on large vehicles and capable of lowering and lifting loads to the desired location. On-site cranes are used for loading and unloading works at construction sites, infrastructure and superstructure activities, auto recovery and towing works, lifting and transportation works, scraping activities and similar works. This type of crane is preferred because of its ability to move very fast, to be used anywhere and to carry loads when necessary.
Truck-mounted cranes also perform car towing, rescue, lifting and transportation. There are many types of truck mounted cranes. These cranes, which have different types according to the load and distance to be lifted, are fixed and folded onto the vehicle after finishing their works and do not make any obstacle in traffic.
Truck-mounted cranes, which are a hydraulic system, are also used in warehouses, shipyards, race tracks and lifting heavy machinery left on the road. Periodic control should be made according to the regulations on health and safety conditions and lifting and conveying equipments in the use of work equipment of truck mounted cranes.

This type of crane is preferred because of its ability to move very fast, to be used anywhere and to carry loads when necessary.
Using truck-mounted cranes is also a highly demanding skill and experience. When performing any lifting operation, it is extremely important to know the weight and dimensions of the load to be lifted, to recognize the physical conditions of the work place and to know the lifting system, lifting capacity, dimensions, weight and carrying capacity of the truck mounted crane.
There are various models of truck mounted cranes suitable for the characteristics of the work to be performed and the working conditions. For this reason, it is necessary to make the right choice of the most suitable vehicle and crane.
The capacity of such cranes varies depending on the longest distance they can reach and the maximum weight they can lift. Starting to work without knowing this capacity means endangering human health and property safety. In addition, as they are used under heavy load, regular controls and examinations are required to prevent possible risks.
In the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment, the construction machinery and equipment used in the enterprises must meet the minimum requirements for health and safety. The tests of the crane which are accepted among the lifting and conveying group machines are also carried out by the inspection institutions with the 1,25 floor of the declared load.
Our company carries out regular inspections and inspections of truck-mounted cranes within the framework of periodic controls of lifting and conveying machines in accordance with the relevant legal regulations. A few standards are based on:
TS 10116 Lifting and conveying machines - Cranes - Inspection and test methods
Steel wire ropes - Safety - Section 12385: Operation and maintenance information
TS ISO 4309 Cranes - Wire ropes - Application rules for inspection and decommissioning
