Imagine a machine that can roll over gravel, mud, snow, or even your contractor’s excuses — and still lift 100 tons like it's a yoga stretch.
That’s the vibe of an All-Terrain Crane (AT Crane) — the rugged, road-ready, heavy-lifting beast of the crane kingdom.

What Is an All-Terrain Crane?

An All-Terrain Crane is basically the lovechild of a truck crane and a rough-terrain crane.
It’s designed to drive on highways like a truck AND crush off-road sites like a tank — all while packing a lifting capacity that’ll make your forklift cry.

Quick Specs:

  • Mobility: On-road + off-road

  • Capacity: From 30 tons to over 1,200 tons

  • Reach: Telescopic booms up to 500 feet (150+ meters)

  • Setup: Fast hydraulic setup, often within a couple of hours

Why Use One? (A.K.A. Why They Slap)

  1. You’re building where there’s no road
    AT cranes don’t need perfect asphalt. Gravel, uneven terrain, mud, snow — they’ll roll in like a boss and do the job.

  2. You need serious height & muscle
    Some AT cranes have multi-axle systems and hydraulics that extend the boom to crazy heights — perfect for towers, bridges, or wind turbines.

  3. One machine, many missions
    From city streets to mountain sites — one crane to rule them all. Less hauling, more doing.

  4. Speed = Saved $$$
    They’re faster to set up and tear down, which cuts costs (and keeps your foreman from developing a caffeine addiction).

Typical Projects Using All-Terrain Cranes

  • High-rise construction (reach + lift = match made in heaven)

  • Bridge installation

  • Wind turbine assembly

  • Utility work in rural areas

  • Industrial plant maintenance

  • Lifting heavy equipment where forklifts dare not go

Basically, if it’s large, awkward, and in a place Google Maps fears to tread — call in the AT crane.

Safety First (Because Big Toys Need Big Rules)

AT Cranes are powerful, but that means one thing: zero room for sloppy work.

Pro tips:

  • Stabilize like your life depends on it (because it does)

  • Respect the load charts — that extra pallet of bricks might cost you a lawsuit

  • Hire a certified operator, not your cousin with a trucker hat and ambition

Want us to handle that part? We’ve got operators certified in multiple states, and trained to handle everything from gusty wind to grumpy site inspectors

How Much Does It Cost to Rent One?

All-Terrain Cranes aren’t budget-friendly like toy cranes at the mall —
But renting is waaay cheaper than buying one (unless you’re planning to go full Transformers franchise).

Factors affecting price:

  • Lift capacity required

  • Height / boom length needed

  • Job duration

  • Travel & setup complexity

On average, renting an AT crane starts around $800 to $2,000 per day, plus operator and fuel.
Compare that to the millions you’d spend buying one — yeah, it’s a no-brainer.
