Autokranit

Autokranit is a term of Slavic origin, specifically from Polish, meaning "cranes" in the plural. It is most commonly used in reference to mobile cranes, also known as truck-mounted cranes or all-terrain cranes. These are heavy-duty machines mounted on a truck or specialized chassis, designed for lifting and moving heavy loads.

The primary function of an autokranit is to provide on-site lifting capabilities for construction, infrastructure projects, and industrial operations. They are characterized by their telescopic boom, which can be extended and retracted to achieve various working heights and outreach. Outriggers are essential components that extend from the chassis to provide stability during lifting operations, counteracting the immense forces involved.

Autokranit are equipped with a powerful engine that drives both the vehicle and the crane mechanism. They can be operated remotely or from a cabin located on the chassis. Their mobility allows them to be transported to different job sites efficiently, unlike fixed cranes. The specific lifting capacity of an autokranit varies significantly depending on its size and design, ranging from a few tons to several hundred tons.

The use of autokranit is crucial in many sectors, including building construction, bridge building, port operations, and the installation of heavy machinery. Their versatility and adaptability make them indispensable tools for modern construction and logistics.
