Terex Cranes have the reputation for being competent, durable workhorses that do not let you down. Their many operator-friendly features make them favorites at the worksite, as well. Rough terrain brings special challenges that require toughness and maneuverability.

The Terex Quadstar 1100 is the finest of rough terrain cranes, with proven maneuverability and ground clearance suitable for the most rugged conditions. The Quadstar 1100 combines durability and flexibility with low ownership cost. All features are built for operation in rugged terrain and conditions. Typical operating functions for the Quadstar 1100 are bridge building, large-scale construction, and refinery or other plant projects. But this crane will go anywhere that it is needed.

Combine a maximum capacity of 80 US tons, the ability to get on the highway and tackle rough terrain with ease and the result is the Terex T 780 crane. With a 450 horsepower engine and an enhanced 126-foot maximum boom length, the Terex T 780 is a tough and versatile addition to any job site.

Standard truck-mounted cranes may work just fine for most construction sites, but uneven terrain and difficult conditions call for a crane that offers more. The Tadano All Terrain Crane ATF 220G-5 is the perfect choice for medium to large scale erection and construction work in areas with limited access. With 5 axles to support a surprising 350-ton maximum lift capacity, there's little chance of this crane moving or sliding even when parked on a steeply sloped area

Using the right tool for any job is vital. We all know that. But a tool that is right for any number of jobs can be a game changer. Versatility directly equates to performance, economy, and efficiency. The Tadano ATF 130G-5 All Terrain Crane offers the perfect combination of mobility and versatility for jobs in rough or any other terrain, especially where transport is a factor. The ATF 130G-5 is equally comfortable at highway speeds or on rugged job sites. The 5-axle setup with 2 Mercedes-Benz engine configuration allows rapid deployment, where needed, in the most economic, efficient manner.

The old adage "use the right tool for the job," holds true no matter what tool you're using, from a simple screwdriver to the largest, most versatile cranes manufactured in the world today. Although today's cranes definitely aren't simple, this principle certainly applies. It all about getting the right tool  for your project. 

With a 360-degree load radius, the Terex Crossover 8000 Boom Truck out lifts other boom trucks in North America. The Terex Crane also features an 80-ton capacity and 126-feet boom length. It also offers the same upper structure and load ratings as the Terex T780 Truck Crane, whether lifting from rear, front or sides.

The Broderson IC-100 is a self-propelled crane with a compact deck designed to be as reliable as an outdoor industrial crane but is compact for in-plant use. The compact design is only 7 feet 5 inches in height and 6 feet 6 inches in width to maneuver easily inside plants. With the boom extension, the sheave height is 49 feet 4 inches, and it enables a horizontal reach of an amazing 43 feet.

Crane services can make a world of difference on any job in which you need a crane. If not set up correctly or put in the exact position that is needed, you can run into accidents, added unplanned hours and unexpected costs.

Construction firms -- and the managers tasked with making their purchases -- have a laundry list of requirements that the rough terrain cranes they buy must meet. In addition to being powerful and versatile, a rough terrain crane needs to be reliable and offer the company a good value. The Terex RT 100US does an exceptional job of meeting the above standards and more.

The Demag AC220 is the most compact crane in its capacity class, making it extremely versatile and functional. Versatility is built in with 12 forward speeds and 2 backward speeds. The off-road gear can be easily switched on or off.
