Truck mounted hydraulic cranes (Picker trucks)
RAC-Germany™ truck mounted hydraulic stiff boom cranes are manufactures by “WELDCO-Hydra-Lift cranes” in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They are said to be the strongest and most reliable truck mounted cranes of the world. That is the reason why these cranes are principally used in the oilfields, in mines and on big and rough construction sites.

The range of our truck mounted hydraulic cranes is from 23 ton to 50 ton capacity. Highest quality of the used materials and the professionalism of the production ensure many years of reliable service. The boom is designed as a welded box construction for maximum strength to weight ratio.
WELDCO Hydra-Lift cranes offer an industry proven design and reputation for robust performance in some of the most extreme conditions. From frigid conditions in the Artic to extreme dessert heat in the Middle East: WELDCO-Hydra-Lift truck mounted cranes provide you with safe and reliable lifts year after year.
