What is a Crane Artic?
A crane artic is an articulated truck — a tractor unit and trailer combination — fitted with a hydraulic loader crane, typically mounted behind the cab. This allows the driver to self-load and offload heavy or bulky items at delivery points without the need for a forklift, overhead crane or additional labour on site.
Crane artics are widely used for multi-drop deliveries of building materials, timber packs, steel beams, precast concrete products and other heavy goods where site access or available handling equipment may be limited.
