Why put a crane on a flatbed
A crane truck on a JAC N120 solves the main supply problem: sites rarely have a forklift. The crane behind the cab lifts the load off the platform and places it where the truck cannot reach — over a fence, onto the second tier of a warehouse, down into a pit. One vehicle instead of a truck-plus-forklift pair.
You pay for it in payload: the crane and its subframe take part of the chassis’ 7,690 kg, and the usable deck length shrinks by the space the boom occupies. So we work the configuration out in advance: what weight and reach the crane needs, and what is left for the load.
What we do
COND builds the flatbed platform and the reinforced subframe for the crane, installs the crane on the chassis, runs the hydraulics and outriggers, and fits the aluminium folding boards and side guards. The crane itself is a bought-in unit, chosen for the job by lifting moment and boom reach.
Extending outriggers on both sides: the crane must not work without them or the truck will tip. The subframe is calculated for the crane’s moment; otherwise the chassis frame will crack within the first season.
Best for
Construction and site supply, metal depots, traders in profile, pipe and slab, installation crews, delivery of machinery and equipment. If you do not need the crane, we build the same body as an open flatbed platform, and for a curtain — as a curtain-side.
