HOWO
Flatbed Truck with Crane | Complete Foreign Trade Product Introduction
1. Product Overview
Howo Flatbed Truck with Crane, also known as Truck with Crane,
Crane Truck,
Lorry Crane or
Loader Crane, is a specialized multifunctional engineering vehicle. It perfectly integrates a professional hydraulic crane system with a heavy-duty modified HOWO flatbed truck chassis. The vehicle is purpose-built for lifting, lowering, loading and transporting heavy loads, combining superior road mobility and powerful lifting capability in one single unit.
This flatbed crane truck is equipped with a portable hydraulic boom crane mounted on a reinforced HOWO truck chassis. It adopts either hydraulic telescopic boom or knuckle boom to lift and move all kinds of heavy materials, delivering excellent mobile working performance for construction, logistics and utility projects. The complete vehicle structure consists of four core components: truck chassis, flatbed cargo bed, hydraulic crane (telescopic / knuckle boom optional), and hydraulic stabilizer outriggers.
The lifting capacity covers small and medium-duty operation ranging from 2 tons to 20 tons, fully meeting most daily working demands. Custom heavy-duty models can reach over 100 tons for ultra-heavy industrial lifting tasks. With dual functions of lifting and transportation, the HOWO flatbed crane truck features high versatility and wide industry adaptability.
2. Working Principle
The HOWO flatbed
Truck Mounted Crane adopts mature hydraulic transmission working principle. The truck chassis provides stable power to drive the full hydraulic system, realizing precise hydraulic lifting, boom extension, retraction and 360° full continuous rotation. Operators can freely adjust the lifting height and working radius according to different working conditions to complete accurate material handling.
Before heavy-load operation, the hydraulic stabilizer outriggers are fully extended to form a wide and stable supporting span, greatly improving vehicle balance and ensuring stable and safe operation under full-load conditions. Whether equipped with a telescopic straight boom or folding knuckle boom, the crane runs smoothly with low failure rate, supporting long-time continuous outdoor operation.
3. Daily Application Scenarios
Thanks to its dual functions of lifting and transportation, flexible mobility and flatbed cargo carrying capacity, the HOWO flatbed crane truck is widely applied in construction, logistics, municipal engineering and emergency rescue fields.
It is commonly used for building material transportation, steel handling, equipment delivery, roadside maintenance, urban infrastructure construction and field rescue work. The flatbed design allows larger cargo loading space, suitable for long-size goods, bulk materials and mechanical equipment transportation. The mobile crane function enables on-site loading and unloading without additional lifting equipment, greatly improving working efficiency.
4. Comparison With Traditional Models
Compared with traditional ordinary flatbed trucks and separate cranes, the integrated HOWO flatbed truck with crane has obvious comprehensive advantages. Traditional working modes require separate trucks for transportation and separate cranes for lifting, resulting in high procurement costs, low equipment utilization and complicated vehicle scheduling.
This HOWO flatbed crane truck integrates lifting and transportation in one vehicle with extremely high versatility. It adopts a compact integrated structure, saving working space and reducing overall operating costs. Different from traditional cranes without stable supporting structure, it is equipped with professional stabilizer outriggers to ensure safer and more stable heavy-load operation. In addition, it features flexible mobility and can quickly reach various complex working sites that large fixed lifting equipment cannot access.

5. Vehicle Purchase Guide
Customers can select suitable configurations according to actual working requirements. For open construction sites, long-distance lifting and high-altitude operation, the telescopic boom crane is recommended for longer working radius and higher lifting height. For urban narrow sites, complex working conditions and flexible operation, the knuckle boom crane is the ideal choice.
For conventional light and medium cargo handling and engineering tasks, 2–20 ton models fully meet daily operation needs. For ultra-heavy load projects, customized 100+ ton heavy-duty versions are available. The HOWO flatbed chassis provides larger cargo space and stronger bearing capacity, very suitable for customers who need both cargo transportation and mobile lifting functions.
6. Operation and Maintenance
6.1 Standard Operation Specifications
Before operation, inspect the truck chassis, flatbed condition, hydraulic oil level, crane boom integrity and outrigger flexibility to ensure no abnormal faults. During operation, fully extend all stabilizer outriggers to ensure stable vehicle support. Strictly follow standard operating procedures, operate hydraulic lifting, extending and rotating actions smoothly, and prohibit overload operation and violent manipulation to guarantee construction safety.
6.2 Daily Maintenance Tips
Regularly check and replace hydraulic oil and filter elements to keep the hydraulic system clean and stable. Inspect boom connecting parts, hydraulic pipelines and outrigger structures regularly to prevent loosening, oil leakage and jamming. Clean dust and sundries on the crane and flatbed surface daily to reduce component wear. Scientific daily maintenance can effectively reduce failure rate and extend the service life of the entire vehicle.
