Crawler Crane Capabilities

Crawler cranes are built for serious lifting. Featuring a tracked undercarriage, they provide excellent stability on soft ground and uneven terrain. Unlike mobile cranes, they don't require outriggers and can often "walk" with a load, making them ideal for complex or remote site operations. 


Many models include a lattice boom with modular extensions, offering high reach and substantial lifting capacities from 80 tonnes up to 600 tonnes or more. Other Models are Hydraulic Crawler cranes which have a telescopic boom which require minimal setup but still pack a punch when it comes to lifting, these machines range from 16 tonnes all the way up to 220 tonnes.

Applications range from bridge construction and high rise builds to oil and gas infrastructure, where reliability and sheer power are essential.

We feature a wide range of crawler crane configurations and global manufacturers. Most crawler cranes sold through Crane Auction are lattice boom units, though telescopic boom crawlers will often appear as part of our crane auction selection. Popular brands include:
