What Is a Vehicle-Mounted Hydraulic Crane?
A vehicle-mounted hydraulic crane, also known as a vehicle crane, is a heavy-duty lifting device equipped to vehicles, such as vans, pickups, trailers, and lorries. These cranes, powered by an internal hydraulic system, can lift significantly heavier loads compared to smaller, electric-powered jib cranes.
Penny Engineering’s hydraulic crane lifting equipment range ensures the safe and efficient handling of loads of up to 3300kg. Featuring powerful, smooth, and precise hydraulic controls, our cranes can enhance your material handling capabilities while minimising the risk of sudden movements that could cause injury or damage.
Manufactured from only the highest-quality materials, our hydraulic cranes are strong and durable yet lightweight and compact – optimising long-term costs, emissions, and payload. With expert advice and a wide range of customisation options and accessories, we can develop the perfect solution for your vehicles, load types, and operational demands.

Benefits of Crane Lifting Equipment
Manual handling is responsible for 1 in 3 accidents at work. Mechanical lifting aids, such as vehicle cranes, eliminate the need for heavy lifting, protecting your staff from injury and assets from damage.
Hydraulic cranes and lifting equipment enhance operational efficiency by expanding material handling capabilities and reducing group tasks to just a single operator – helping you increase productivity and revenue.
Our vehicle-mounted hydraulic cranes are compact, easy to use, and fully configurable, making them the ideal solution for your diverse material handling needs – including awkward and heavy loads of up to 3300kg.

Hydraulic Vehicle Crane FAQs
A hydraulic crane, also known as a vehicle crane, is a hoisting machine mounted to vans and trucks used to lift a wide range of load types. Unlike smaller, electric-powered cranes, hydraulic crane lifting equipment relies on an internal hydraulic system that allows the crane to lift heavier loads.
A lifting equipment hoist is a key component of a hydraulic crane, raising the cargo from its original position and lowering it to its destination. Other main parts of a crane include the hook, which connects the crane to its cargo; the boom, which moves and positions the cargo attached to the hook; and the counterweights, which prevent the crane from tipping.
Mechanical lifting aids, such as vehicle cranes, offer numerous benefits for commercial and industrial lifting operations. Primarily, this type of lifting machine reduces the need for manually handling heavy items, minimising the risk of workplace injuries and damage to assets. They are also incredibly versatile, providing smooth and precise control for a variety of load types.
An estimated lead time for your custom hydraulic crane will be provided with your quotation. This is typically 5-6 weeks (comparable with our standard crane ranges). The total turnaround time will vary depending on the size, complexity, and any other additional requirements.
As standard, the maximum working load of our hydraulic lifting equipment range is 3300kg. Should you require a greater lifting capacity, please speak to our team for guidance on the right lifting device for your needs.
