Toolbox and Crane Installation

Toolbox and crane installation mounts storage boxes, service cranes, and compressors to a chassis or service body, with fabricated mounting rated for the equipment's load and reach. Crane installation also includes stability assessment and outrigger provision.

Rated mounting and stability

A service crane at full extension applies a large overturning moment. The mount has to carry it and the vehicle has to remain stable under it, which is what outriggers and counterweight positioning are for.

We fabricate the mount to the crane manufacturer's requirement and verify the stability envelope for the specific chassis rather than assuming a generic setup transfers.

  • Crane base fabrication and frame mounting
  • Outrigger installation and stability verification
  • Toolbox and storage mounting
  • Compressor mounting and power supply
  • Hydraulic plumbing and control installation

FAQ

Toolbox and Crane Installation questions

Does the chassis need reinforcement for a crane?
Usually yes at the mounting area. How much depends on the crane rating and the frame section, and it is determined before installation.
Can you install a crane on an existing service body?
Yes, provided the mounting can reach the frame. Mounting a crane to a body alone rather than the chassis is not adequate.
Do you install air compressors?
Yes, engine driven, hydraulic, or standalone units with the associated mounting and plumbing.
