"Powerful performance is never too much in the world of cranes."

As Tony Zhang, a senior crane sales expert, said.

When selecting a new ZORY loader crane, it is essential to have a long-term vision and consider both the current operational needs and future business plans. A suitable truck-mounted crane will bring unparalleled value to the work itself.

1. Know the Types and Weights of Goods

You must first determine the basic lifting capacity of the crane. To do this, you need to understand the types of goods you will handle and their respective weights. This step is crucial. It's like laying the foundation for a building. It provides a solid basis for all subsequent decisions. If the crane has sufficient lifting capacity to handle your existing goods, you can rest assured that any problems caused by insufficient lifting capacity will be avoided. If the lifting capacity is insufficient, the operation process will undoubtedly be severely hindered, affecting work efficiency and project progress.

2. Consider the Working Radius

The working radius is another crucial factor affecting the choice of crane. Simply put, the working radius is the distance from the parking position of the truck to the actual lifting point of the goods when the crane is lifting goods. This distance directly determines the required lifting capacity and overall performance of the crane.

3. Select the Appropriate Boom Type

The boom is a key component of the crane, and the choice of its type is directly related to the performance of the crane in different working scenarios.

Telescopic Boom Crane: It lifts materials by using a hydraulic winch and raising and lowering the boom. The operation is very simple: rotate, extend, raise and lower as needed.

Knuckle Boom Crane: The articulated loader crane mainly uses the hook at the tip of the boom to lift loads. The articulated boom truck-mounted crane has fast movements and high work efficiency. The folding boom truck-mounted crane is more suitable for relatively narrow working environments such as factory warehouses, while the telescopic boom requires more space due to its structure.

3. Decide the Control Method

Manual control Operation

Manual control Operation: Manual control has always occupied an important position in many traditional working scenarios. The operation is simple and easy to understand, and the operator can master it proficiently after basic training. Its greatest advantage is that it is economical and practical. For some enterprises with limited budgets and relatively simple and regular operation tasks, a manually controlled crane is a practical choice.

Remote Control Operation: The biggest feature of remote control operation is that it provides operators with greater flexibility, higher safety, and a clearer view of the goods. In complex working environments, remote control operation allows the operator to stay away from dangerous areas and accurately control every movement of the crane from a safe position. At the same time, through the display screen on the remote control, the operator can observe the lifting status of the goods in real-time to ensure the accuracy and safety of the operation and avoid accidents that may be caused by blocked sight or inconvenient operation.
