Types of Crawler Cranes We Supply

Lattice Boom Crawler Cranes

Lattice boom crawler cranes remain the preferred choice for heavy lifting projects across the United States. Available in capacities ranging from approximately 50 tons to more than 3,000 tons, these cranes offer the flexibility needed for complex lifts on large-scale construction and industrial projects.

Configurations can include main boom setups, fixed jibs, luffing jibs, and superlift systems to meet specific lift requirements. Whether you are handling heavy process modules, wind turbine components, bridge sections, or nuclear plant equipment, lattice boom crawlers provide the reach and lifting performance required for demanding applications.

These cranes are commonly used on Gulf Coast LNG and refinery developments, Midwest wind farm tower erection projects, nuclear plant construction and refueling outages, and major highway bridge projects throughout the country.

We regularly supply machines from leading manufacturers including Manitowoc MLC and MX series cranes, Liebherr LR series models, Demag CC series cranes, Kobelco, Link-Belt, and Terex.

Telescopic Crawler Cranes

Telescopic crawler cranes offer a practical alternative where faster mobilization and reduced setup time are priorities. Unlike lattice boom cranes, telescopic models can be transported and assembled more quickly, making them well suited to repetitive lifting operations and projects with limited access.

These cranes are widely used for industrial plant turnarounds, precast concrete erection, utility work, and urban infrastructure projects where space constraints can affect crane selection. Their ability to travel with loads and move efficiently around congested jobsites makes them a valuable option for many contractors.

Demand for telescopic crawler cranes continues to grow across the US petrochemical and healthcare construction sectors. Popular models include the Tadano GTC series, Liebherr telescopic crawler cranes, and Sennebogen crawler cranes.

Duty Cycle Cranes

Duty cycle crawler cranes are designed for continuous-cycle applications where lifting is only one part of the machine’s role. These machines are commonly used for clamshell excavation, dragline stripping, foundation work, demolition, and marine construction.

Many US foundation contractors rely on duty cycle cranes for piling operations using vibratory hammers, diesel hammers, and related attachment systems. Marine contractors also utilize these machines for dredging, seawall construction, and waterfront infrastructure projects.

Because duty cycle cranes are frequently configured around specific attachments and project requirements, many machines are supplied to order. Speak with the Omnia Machinery sales team to discuss your application and identify the most suitable configuration.

Why US Contractors Buy Crawler Cranes from Omnia Machinery

Omnia Machinery supplies used crawler cranes to contractors, industrial operators, and engineering firms throughout the United States. Our global inventory provides access to machines that can be difficult to source through domestic channels, particularly in larger capacity classes and specialist configurations.

Many buyers compare our stock against equipment available through rental fleet disposals and auction platforms such as Ritchie Bros. and IronPlanet. By sourcing directly from Omnia Machinery, customers can often access competitively priced equipment while benefiting from detailed machine information before purchase.

We regularly arrange ocean freight to major US Gulf Coast and East Coast ports, helping buyers manage logistics from purchase through delivery. Our team works closely with shipping partners to coordinate transportation for complete crane packages, including boom sections, counterweights, and supporting components.

Documentation is a key part of every transaction. Where available, we provide load charts, operator manuals, maintenance records, and service history documentation to support the evaluation process. We can also assist buyers seeking information related to ASME B30.5 compliance requirements and inspection preparation before commissioning the crane on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you ship a crawler crane to the United States?

Yes. We regularly arrange shipment of crawler cranes to major US ports including Houston, Savannah, Baltimore, and Long Beach.

Crawler cranes are typically disassembled for transport, with boom sections, counterweights, carbody components, and machinery decks shipped separately. Our team can assist with export documentation, customs clearance coordination, and freight planning.

Transit times from Europe to the United States generally range from four to six weeks, depending on the shipping route and destination port. Re-assembly supervision and technical support can also be arranged where required.

What documentation comes with a used crawler crane?

Available documentation commonly includes load charts, operator manuals, service and maintenance records, and component hour logs.

Before placing any used crawler crane into service, we recommend completing an ASME B30.5 annual inspection through a qualified US crane inspector or rigger. This helps verify the crane’s condition and confirms compliance with applicable site and project requirements.

What capacity crawler crane do I need for my project?

Selecting the correct crawler crane depends on several factors beyond the weight of the load. Buyers should consider maximum load weight, required lift radius, boom and jib configuration, lift height, and site ground bearing pressures.

A crane that can safely lift a load at one radius may not have sufficient capacity at a greater distance. Ground conditions can also affect crane selection and configuration requirements.

Providing lift plans and project details allows the Omnia Machinery team to review available stock and recommend crawler cranes that match your lifting requirements.
