Introduction

• These are truck cranes that have a self contained telescoping

boom.
• Telescoping boom contains a number of tubes fitted one
inside other.
• Can travel on public highways.
• Once the crane is leveled at the new worksite it is ready to
work without setup delays.
• If job require crane utilization for few hours to a couple of
days, telescopic crane should be given first consideration
because of it’s ease of movement.

• To lift the load A, force B should be applied at equal distance

on the other end.

 Concept in cranes
• In cranes, the force A is the load to be lifted.

• Force B is the force applied i.e. counterweight.

(counterweight also contains fixed pulley block on which the cable is wrapped)

• The pulley system delivers a force to the load that is equal to the applied force multiplied by
the length of cable (boom) between the load lifted and counterweight.

• This is known as Mechanical advantage.

• So we can say that, load lifting capacity of any crane depends on the length of the boom.

 Economy
Before using or buying an equipment owner should answer two question??

1- how much does it cost to operate the machine on a project ?

2- what is the optimum economic life and the optimum manner to secure a machine ?

The reason to purchase an equipment maybe to generate profit .

• Upon deciding there are two costs associated the construction equipment
• ownership cost
• Operation cost
• Generally know as O&O costs
• Suppose $90/hr and a production of 300 tons/hr so production cost would be $90/h/300 tons /hr
