Crane trucks are a complex but useful piece of equipment that can be used to lift heavy and unwieldy objects. A crane truck has a boom with several sections that telescope together. Reinforced steel cables run from behind the cab up and over the boom-the more lines, the higher weight load can be lifted. (A heavy metal ball keeps the lines taut when the crane is not lifting a load.) Beneath the cab is a large gear that enables the crane truck to maneuver 360 degrees. The gear is driven by a hydraulic motor on the cab and is controlled by the operator via a foot pedal. Crane trucks are frequently used in construction, transportation, utilities, mining, drilling for oil, railroad yards, heavy equipment yards and building supply dealers. Crane trucks can be custom ordered and assembled with different specifications that suit the buyer, be it the size of the engine or the length of the boom.

Here are some tips on how to use crane trucks:

  1. One of the biggest hazards of operating a crane is the possibility of electrocution. When working near overhead power lines, employers, supervisors, and workers must exercise extreme caution. Preventing Electrocutions of Crane Operators and Crew Members Working Near Overhead Power Lines, a publication of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, provides a sobering look at this possibility and discusses how to prevent it.

  2. And not to dwell on the hazards, but be aware that occasionally trucks are fitted with boom cranes when they have not specifically been designed for such applications. Fortunately, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is watching out for you and discusses this danger in this Hazard Information Bulletin.
