This delivery method uses a truck mounted crane. The vehicle pictured has the crane mounted on the rear, some vehicles have the crane mounted just behind the cab, but for container deliveries it is best to use rear mounted. This method is best suited where there is limited space in front or behind the truck where the container is to be located. It is also the best way to position a container at an angle to the delivery truck (e.g. 90 º, 45°, etc. See picture 3 & 4) or up on a platform/raised area, over colourbond/chain wire fences etc. The truck can off load the container to either side or the rear of the truck.
When the container is being offloaded, the truck needs to extend outrigger legs to either side of the truck for stability (picture 2). The vehicle in these photos is able to deliver 10’ & 20’ containers, 40’ containers can be delivered in the same method, but with a semitrailer/articulated truck rather than a rigid body truck. Due to the extra weight and reach, there are more restrictions when delivering 40’ containers.
When considering using a hiab crane truck for delivery of your container, these trucks will require additional space for it out rigger legs for stabilisation and extra height for the hiab crane.
The minimum width required is 3.5m. You’ll need a minimum of 10m in height not to mention the length of the truck, hiab crane trucks come in differing sizes!
