Pick-and-Carry Cranes for Sale & Rent
Pick-and-carry cranes are compact, wheeled industrial cranes that lift a load and drive with it, without outriggers. Small carry-deck versions can be lifted onto a deck or into a plant, and their low weight and tight turning make them ideal for indoor and confined industrial lifting where larger cranes cannot fit.
Capacities typically range from about 3 to 40 tonnes. Broderson, Shuttlelift, Kato, Ormig and Valla are well-known makers. Because they lift while free on rubber tyres, their load charts are sensitive to travel speed, ground slope and articulation — key things buyers check against their intended use.

Frequently asked questions
What is a pick-and-carry crane used for?
Moving and placing loads inside factories, workshops and confined plants — machinery installation, maintenance and general industrial handling — where a compact crane must lift and drive the load into position.
Do pick-and-carry cranes use outriggers?
No — they lift free on their tyres and carry the load, which is what makes them useful in tight spaces but also means the load chart derates for travel, slope and steering.
How much can a pick-and-carry crane lift?
Commonly 3–40 tonnes. As with all cranes, capacity falls with radius and is further reduced when the crane is travelling or articulated, so always read the specific load chart.
What should I check on a used pick-and-carry crane?
Tyres, transmission and brakes, boom and cylinder condition, load-chart and safety systems, and hours — plus any indoor-use requirements such as non-marking tyres or emissions.
