Self Propelled Cranes ~ these are mobile cranes mounted on a
wheeled chassis and have only one operator position from which
the crane is controlled and the vehicle driven. The road speed of
this type of crane is generally low, usually not exceeding 30 km
p.h. A variety of self propelled crane formats are available ranging
from short height lifting strut booms of fixed length to variable
length lattice booms with a fly jib attachment.
