What is a Rough Terrain Crane?

Rough terrain cranes are a specialized type of crane designed for jobsites with difficult or uneven terrain. These cranes feature a single cab fixed on a rotating superstructure where a single operator can drive and operate the crane. 

Rough terrain cranes have several characteristics to give them excellent off-road performance. Equipped with all-wheel drive on two axles and oversized tires, they have optimal maneuverability even on the most uneven terrain. Attached outriggers allow operators to stabilize the crane for heavy lifts. These capabilities make rough terrain cranes a versatile option in a variety of outdoor locations.
