The largest mobile cranes in New Zealand have 8 axles and lift 450 tonnes. The smallest have two axles and lift around 10 tonnes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mobile crane has outriggers or stabilisers which are legs that extend from the side of the crane and allow for a greater &#8216;working radius&#8217; or the distance from the crane that the crane can lift a load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost all bar the smallest mobile cranes have a separate cab for the crane driver to operate the crane from. This usually slews (turns) with the crane. Some cranes have remote control units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/crane-600x356.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/crane-600x356.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/crane-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/crane-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/crane.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Mobile crane with separate cab for the crane operator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mobile crane is different from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/what-is-a-truck-loader-crane-or-truck-mounted-crane\/\">truck-mounted crane<\/a> (mobile cranes don&#8217;t carry loads that are unrelated to the crane&#8217;s operation). It&#8217;s also different to a crawler crane which is a crane on tracks, and a tower crane, which is a crane on top of a tall vertical tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a truck loader crane, companies tend to own them or lease them long-term as they are an integral part of a company&#8217;s operation, such as delivering building materials. Drivers do a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/course\/truck-mounted-crane-certificate\/\">truck-mounted crane course<\/a> to get qualified. With a mobile crane, mostly they are rented for a specific job, such as lifting a large yacht off a trailer or a turbine onto a wind farm pylon, and they come with a qualified operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specific qualifications are needed to operate a crane in New Zealand, including a W endorsement and the correct type of licence based on the weight of the crane (most likely to be a class 4 for all but the smallest mobile cranes). Australian and other overseas qualifications cannot be mapped to the NZ qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crane operators do not need to keep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/course\/logbooks\/\">logbooks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mobile crane is a wheeled, self-propelled vehicle with either a cable-controlled or hydraulic-powered telescoping boom crane.
