How to Read a Truck-Mounted Crane Load Chart
Read a truck-mounted crane load chart by matching the exact crane and installed configuration, identifying the working radius and boom arrangement, then following the chart's stated limits, deductions and restrictions. A maximum lifting figure in a product title is not the capacity available at every point around the truck. Procurement teams and operators need the chart and operating manual supplied for the particular installation. This guide explains the reading sequence; it does not provide a replacement load chart or authorise a lift.
Transport & Delivery
Construction Truck Pre-Delivery Inspection Checklist
A construction truck pre-delivery inspection should check the identity, condition, installed equipment, agreed functions and handover documents of the actual vehicle being shipped. Work through a written checklist and record discrepancies against the order, rather than treating a short video or a clean cab as complete acceptance. The checks below help a buyer organise inspection of a tipper, mixer or fuel supply truck. They do not set pressure, load, braking or stability test limits; those belong to the relevant manufacturer procedures and the agreed inspection scope.
Compliance & Documentation
Buying Tipper Trucks for a Project Fleet: A Procurement Checklist
Buy tipper trucks against a common work specification, then record any vehicle-specific differences before comparing quotations. A useful fleet brief joins the material, loading equipment, haul route, tipping area and maintenance plan in one document. Choosing every truck by the same advertised body size or lowest price can leave the fleet with incompatible tyres, controls or spare parts. For contractors buying for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia or Zimbabwe, the starting point is the actual project and operating base, rather than an assumed country-wide specification.
