A Few Words
on QMC's Truck Mounted Cranes and Booms
* Capacity: In most
cases, particularly when lifting over the side, QMC machines out
pick the competition by dramatic margins. This is
particularly true at extended radii of 25' to 70".
* Quality: QMC cranes
are made of 100,000 PSI steel, which gives them an unequalled
strength-to-weight ratio. Components are hand fitted
to exact tolerances. In terms of both material and workmanship,
no other North American manufacturer builds a better product.
* Road Speed: Because
QMC mounts truck cranes on standard truck chassis, the carrier
can be equipped with higher performance engines, transmissions,
and suspensions. The result is better road speeds and
high-speed gradability when compared to competitive truck cranes.
* Operator Comfort:
A crane operator would rather spend 40 hours a week driving a
Kenworth or Ford or Peterbuild or other conventional truck
instead of being pounded by a crane carrier all day. Cabs
are also two-man, rather than cramped single operator cabs.
* Replacement ability:
The carrier of a truck crane usually wears out long before the
crane itself. When the chassis wears out with QMC
machines, it can be easily replaced. The crane can be removed
from the old chassis and remounted on a new in one or two
days.
QMC cranes are constantly updated
in terms and design and components. In addition, special
application cranes can be designed and manufactured to meet
the specific needs of end users. |
