Crane trucks are useful in several industries and can be a time saver for many projects. However, it’s important to choose the right crane truck for the job at hand!

Evaluate Your Purpose

When you’re trying to find the right crane truck, the first thing you should do is think about the purpose of the purchase and how often you’ll use it! There are many different sizes, capacities, limits, and features to choose from, so it’s best to know exactly what you need before you begin looking at the different options.

Ask yourself what items you’ll move with the crane and what the job sites might be like. Thinking through the purpose and frequency of use will help you narrow down your choices.

Set a Budget

Once you have a good idea of what features you’ll need, you can set a realistic budget. The size and weight rating of a crane truck will often influence the total asking price, so you’ll want to know the general specifications you need before you determine a price limit. You want to have a budget that encompasses your needs! However, you don’t want to invest more than you should, so make sure to balance your needs with your current financial situation.

Decide How You’ll Buy

With a budget and features in mind, you can move on to the final stages of the buying process. You’ll need to decide how you’ll make the purchase, though! Do you want a new or used model? Do you prefer shopping with a dealer like DTI Trucks or are you interested in working with a private seller? Deciding how you buy will also narrow down your options and make the process simpler.
