A crawler is mounted on an undercarriage. Between 40 and 3500 short tons are lifted using the crawler cranes. Using crawler cranes brings a lot of advantages. They need just a little set up.

Crawler cranes offer great stability as against hydraulic or truck cranes because they do not have outriggers. However crawler trains are very heavy and moving them from the project site to other places will require you to spend money. The crawler has to be disassembled. Once that is done, it has to be moved in trucks, ships or rail cars. This forms the major drawback of crawler cranes, otherwise, they are modern and ease for lifting works.
