What is a crawler crane?

A crawler crane is a crane which has an undercarriage, and the undercarriage has a set of tracks which provide stability and mobility. The difference between a crawler crane and a mobile crane is that a crawler crane does not move easily from one location to another. Most crawler cranes are hydraulic. A crawler crane is able to lift weights between 40 and 3,500 tonnes!

A crawler crane is more suitable for work which is on uneven or soft ground as the tracks provide stability. A crawler crane is able to lift a lot more weight than a mobile crane with the same attachment.

The main disadvantage of the crawler crane is the size of the crane makes it difficult to move from one location to another, the larger crawler cranes have to be disassembled and moved by trucks and this becomes expensive.

The main advantage of the crawler crane is that it is able to move around a site performing lifts with little set up for each lift. A crawler crane is also capable of travelling with a load.
