How to choose Isuzu boom crane truck? listen what our

Isuzu boom crane trucks are almost now best brand crane trucks around the world as Isuzu trucks' good quality, reliable performance and easy to maintenances. But when you want to buy a Isuzu boom crane truck, what should you consider before you decide to buy? Today our Isuzu experter will you. 


Firstly, A telescopic boom crane, or a knuckle arm boom crane
According to our real demands, what cargos we have to transport, and the lifting weight of the crane, before we buy a Isuzu boom crane truck, we have to ask these questions to ourselves.
The telescopic crane is installed behind cab, and it's has a straight crane boom above the cargo box body area. So when you transport a lot of big size or high size cargos, maybe the telescopic boom crane will affect and not that convenient. 
But if you installed a folding or knuckle boom crane, it's fold behind the cabin after use, the rear cargo box area is free to use.  
Especially when you choose big size crane, like a 10 tons, 12 tons, or 16 tons crane, the advantages of folding crane is better and more convenient to use. So when you buy a Isuzu boom crane truck, we have to figure out these questions.

Secondly, Lifting capacity & Load capacity
We have to figure out that how many ton cargos we usually transport or we have to transport, the more we have to load, the bigger size truck and crane we have to choose. We have Isuzu crane truck with load capacity from 3 tons, 4 tons, 5 tons, 8 tons, 10 tons, 12 tons, to 30 tons; these capacity crane boom trucks covers Isuzu 100P, Isuzu 600P, Isuzu KV100, Isuzu KV600, Isuzu 700P, Isuzu GIGA FTR, Isuzu GIGA FVR, Isuzu FVZ, Isuzu GIGA VC66 for crane capacity from 2 tons to 25 tons or more; So we have to know how many ton truck we have to choose, this is also very different from its price. 
And for crane, we have 2 tons crane, 3.2 ton, 4 ton, 5 ton, 6.3 ton, 7 ton, 8 ton, 10 ton, 12 ton, 14 ton, 16 ton, 18 ton, 20 ton, 25 ton, 28 ton, 30 ton or above capacity for Isuzu truck mounted crane, no matter telescopic or knuckle crane. 

Thirdly, Crane brand
For crane choose, one of the most important is to choose a good brand that suitable for you.  We have famous and popular crane brand like XCMG, PALFINGER, UNIC, CLW, HIAB, etc. These brands are very popular, but price is very different. Like UNIC and PALFINGER cranes are the most expensive, if you were buying for big enterprises or for government, you have enough budget, it's a good option for you;  if personal or company use, XCMG and CLW brand crane is a good choice. CLW  brand is a crane brand that starts from , now has 20 years experiences, it covers telescopic crane and knuckle crane, lifting capacity from 2 ton to 30 tons; and also has heavy duty crane truck 50 ton, 100 ton, 200 ton, 260 ton. Isuzu truck mounted CLW brand crane sells a lot to overseas market and more and more welcomed by end users. 

Fourthly, 2WD or 4WD
For Isuzu boom crane trucks, our company is the leading supplier & manufacturer to provide full series and full products in China. Since , our company works with Isuzu factory and then so became its main cooperator and partners. We started to use more Isuzu cab chassis in our full product series not only for crane trucks, but also for sanitation vehicles, logistics trucks, fuel tankers, water tanker, etc. 
So for your Isuzu boom crane trucks, if you use in the urban, you can choose normal 4x2 wheel drive or 2wd Isuzu crane trucks.  But if you are in the countrysides or mountain areas, maybe normal 2wd 4x2 Isuzu crane trucks are not enough to bear the tasks. We have 4wd 4x4 Isuzu boom crane trucks for you, including Isuzu 100P 4x4 crane trucks that can install 2 ton, 3.2 ton, 4 ton crane;  and Isuzu 700P 4x4 crane boom trucks that can install 3.2 ton ~ 6.3 ton crane; and Isuzu GIGA 4x4 heavy truck mounted crane that can install 5 ton, 6.3 ton, 8 ton, 10 ton heavy crane. These three Isuzu 4x4 crane trucks almost covers most popular crane trucks capacity for users. 

Fifthly, Budget
In the firstly tip for isuzu boom crane truck, we said there are telescopic crane and knuckle crane for options, then we all choose knuckle crane, is this right?  NO. for same lifting crane, the telescopic crane can lift more weight at same outreach, that means telescopic crane is stronger;  and knuckle crane for same capacity is more expensive than telescopic crane.  So if our budget is enough, we can choose knuckle boom crane,and good brand crane.

During the hundreds of classes, Columbus McKinnon’s training team has conducted over the years, there are a variety of questions that arise regarding the use, maintenance and inspection of overhead cranes and hoists. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to outline seven of the most common concerns, myths, and misconceptions we’ve received from crane and hoist operators and technicians during our classes.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Yuan tai Truck sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Q1)Do monorails need to be labeled with their rated load?

Answer: According to ASME B30.11, rated load markings are not required on monorails but are recommended. Before marking the monorail, a qualified person must determine the rated load on the monorail beam. Once the monorail is marked, the rating should be legible from the ground floor. ASME’s recommendation also applies to marking the rated loads of hoists on the monorail. For more information on hoist marking guidelines, see ASME B30.16.

Q2) Can rated loads for hoists and trolleys be different from the crane’s rated load?

Answer: The short answer to your question is “yes.” However, ASME B30.16 stipulates that when a system is comprised of components with different rated capacities, the rated load of the “system” shall be based on the lowest-rated individual component.

System is defined as the combination of Monorail, Hoist and Trolley in the case of a Monorail and Crane; Hoist and Trolley in the case of an Underhung Crane.

ASME B30.16-1.3.2 states that the supporting structure, including trolleys, monorail, or crane, shall be designed to withstand the loads and forces imposed by the hoist for the rated load.

Important note: As of , ASME B30.11 Monorails & Underhung Cranes and ASME B30.17 were consolidated. This was done to better harmonize the standards, as many people have noticed in the past that B30.11 and B30.17 had similar wording and, in some instances, were exactly the same. This can cause confusion when referencing and interpreting the standards. Therefore, the ASME committees for both standards came to a consensus and created only one standard that refers to Cranes & Monorails (With Underhung Trolley or Bridge). This standard is ASME B30.17. You can see a cover page of the standard here

Q3) Are yearly load tests required on a hoist and crane?

Answer: There is no specific time period during which load tests must be performed once the initial installation is inspected and load tested. Some states require operators to load test hoists and cranes every four years, but, in most cases, if the hoist is not altered, repaired or modified, it can remain in service indefinitely without a load test being required.

Q4) Are monthly records of inspection required for hoists, wire rope, chain and hooks?

Answer: This depends on the type of crane. OSHA regulation .179 applies to top-running overhead and gantry cranes with top-running trolley hoists. For these types of cranes, monthly inspections of the hoist’s chain, wire rope and hooks are required with a recorded certification. This certification record must include the signature of the person who performed the inspection and the identifier of the chain, wire and hook that was inspected. If a hoist and trolley are underhung, frequent inspections are required, but written documentation is not.

Q5) Do you have to be certified to inspect and repair hoists and cranes?

Answer: According to ASME standards, you must be a “qualified person” to inspect and repair cranes and hoists. A “qualified person” is a person who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional standing, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work. These individuals do not have to be professional engineers.

Q6) Do you need to disassemble hoists for yearly inspections?

Answer: Hoist disassembly is not always required for yearly inspections. What is found during the inspection typically determines how far you need to break down the hoist. Be sure to reference the manufacturer’s OEM manual when disassembling any hoist.

Q7) Do chain slings require latches on hooks?

Answer: According to OSHA .184 and ASME B30.9, slings do not require latches on the hooks, unlike hoist and crane hooks where latches are required unless they constitute a hazard.
