Rough Terrain Cranes For Sale in Canada

Rough-terrain cranes are the beasts of burden needed to get heavy lifting jobs done in hard-to-reach places. This is why most of them come with four-wheel drive as well as four-wheel steering for maximum maneuverability and traction. What makes rough-terrain cranes different from all-terrain cranes, for example, is that they aren’t necessarily designed to drive on motorways, which means they often require a truck and trailer of some kind to haul them from site to site. But once you get them into those harsher environments, they’re ready for action as heavy-duty, highly durable lifting machines.

Some of the major manufacturers and brands in this space include Grove, Kato, Kobelco, Link-Belt, Tadano, and Terex, among many others. Terex, as an example, sells RT series and Quadstar series rough-terrain cranes in unique configurations for different jobs. The RT 230 features a maximum rated capacity of 27.3 tons, a maximum boom length of 94 feet, and a max tip height of 141 feet. And the Quadstar 1100 sports a maximum rated capacity of 90 tons, a max boom length of 174 feet, and a max tip height of 230.
