Checklist for a truck-mounted crane
A truck with a crane needs a deeper inspection than a standard lorry. Experienced inspectors look to used trucks with a crane and inspect the condition not just of the truck but also of the crane. Using a inspection checklist for truck mounted crane helps to perform a reasonable job. Our inspectors take notes and make tests:
- Basic Truck configuration
- Cab condition, seats, levers, switches, A/C
- Engine information and condition
- Condition of the Exterior (chassis, sheet metal, paint)
- Power train, gearbox, transmission
- Condition of hydraulic and steering system (pump, performance, hydraulic lines and cylinders)
- Functional test (steering, brakes, electrics, retarder)
- Crane condition and lift test (load required by seller)
- Condition of the tyres
- Comments and recommendation for repairs
- Transport dimensions
See a sample of a report below. On request we can send a PDF-version of such a report.

Types of trucks
We inspect different types of trucks. We have a specific inspection form for each one – so we make sure that every detail is checked.
- Semi-Truck (Tractor head): These trucks have a saddle coupling that allows them to tow semi-trailers or trailers. They are often used for transporting cargo over long distances.
- Tipper Truck: These trucks have a hydraulic tipping mechanism that allows them to unload materials such as sand, rubble, or debris. They are commonly used in construction projects or mining.
- Delivery Van or Truck: Small to medium-sized trucks primarily used for transporting goods in urban areas. They are often used for delivering packages, food, or other goods in delivery operations.
- Tank Truck: These trucks are specifically designed for transporting liquids such as fuel, water, chemicals, or milk. They have specialized tanks designed for the safe transport of the liquid.
- Refrigerated Truck: These trucks are equipped with cooling or freezing systems and are used to transport perishable goods such as food or medical supplies that require refrigeration to maintain freshness.
- Trucks with a crane: These trucks are equipped with a crane that can lift and move heavy loads. They are often used in construction projects or for loading and unloading cargo.
- Dump Truck (Articulated or rigid): Similar to tippers, but with a bed that can lift off the truck frame to quickly unload materials. They are commonly used on construction sites or in mines.
- Timber Truck: These trucks are specifically equipped for transporting timber and can carry either logs or already cut wood.
