A tire-type crane is a mobile lifting device known for its safe and reliable hoisting capabilities, multiple steering modes, self-powered system, and high maneuverability. It features several core technologies including multi-lifting-point synchronous hoisting, anti-slip tire technology, synchronized detection and feedback control, flexible and adaptable steering control, and internal force release of the gantry on complex road surfaces. It is widely used in scenarios requiring heavy-duty lifting such as boat handling, warehousing and logistics, ports, road and bridge construction, and industrial and mining enterprises.
Tire-type cranes are widely used in boat handling, warehousing and logistics, port loading and unloading, bridge and road construction, and industrial and mining operations. They are particularly suited for confined spaces and complex terrains.
