A truck-mounted crane is a specialized vehicle that combines a crane with a truck chassis, enabling the transportation and lifting of heavy loads directly from the truck. This design makes it versatile and efficient for a range of applications in industries like construction, logistics, and utilities.
Truck-mounted cranes come in several varieties, including articulating cranes, hydraulic cranes, telescopic cranes, and others. Articulating cranes feature a boom constructed with multiple foldable, pin-connected components that can be extended or contracted using hydraulic cylinder power. These cranes are powered by electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic drives, offering lifting capacities categorized as below 15 tons, 15 to 30 tons, 30 to 50 tons, and above 50 tons. They serve diverse end-users, including industrial, commercial, infrastructure, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the truck mounted crane market by increasing costs of imported steel structures, hydraulic systems, control electronics, and drivetrain components. Construction and utility sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported crane assemblies, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on exported equipment. These tariffs are increasing equipment prices and extending procurement cycles. However, they are also promoting local assembly, regional supplier development, and innovation in cost-efficient crane designs.
The truck mounted crane market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides truck mounted crane market statistics, including truck mounted crane industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a truck mounted crane market share, detailed truck mounted crane market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the truck mounted crane industry. This truck mounted crane market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The truck mounted crane market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.72 billion in 2025 to $8.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of construction and infrastructure projects, expansion of logistics and utility services, increasing use of mobile lifting solutions, availability of hydraulic lifting technologies, rising urban development activities.
The truck mounted crane market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart construction equipment, rising adoption of electric and hybrid cranes, expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, growing demand for efficient material handling, increasing focus on automation in lifting operations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of multi-functional lifting equipment, rising demand for high-capacity mobile cranes, growing integration of telematics and load monitoring, expansion of infrastructure development projects, enhanced focus on operational safety.
The rising construction of public infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the truck mounted cranes market. Public infrastructure includes facilities and structures developed for general public use, such as roads, flyovers, and public buildings. Truck mounted cranes are widely employed in urban infrastructure projects due to their ability to transport materials efficiently in limited and congested spaces. For instance, in February 2024, the UK Infrastructure and Projects Authority reported 660 projects and programs in both public and private sectors, with planned investments of approximately $204 billion up to 2024/25 and estimated $850-950 billion over the next decade. Around $78 billion of these investments will involve Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in the next two years. Therefore, the expansion of public infrastructure is boosting the truck mounted cranes market.
Major companies in the truck mounted cranes market are introducing innovative technologies to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. For example, in March 2024, Hiab, a Sweden-based provider of intelligent load-handling solutions, launched the HIAB wspr, a next-generation electric hybrid crane. This crane features a dual power source, operating on both the truck engine and a separate electric power take-off (ePTO), making it ideal for low- or zero-emission zones. The HIAB wspr comes in three variants: a standard model for 1-2 days of operation per charge, a light-duty model with an integrated battery pack for drop-off tasks, and a heavy-duty model for extended working hours mounted directly on the truck chassis.
In September 2024, Tadano Ltd., a Japan-based crane manufacturer, acquired Manitex International Inc. for $223 million. This acquisition enables Tadano Ltd. to expand its global truck loader crane and aerial platform portfolio. Manitex International Inc., a US-based company, manufactures truck cranes, boom trucks, knuckle boom cranes, mobile elevating work platforms, and specialized lifting solutions.
