Crane components
Boom sections, counterweights and machinery-house components each have prescribed lifting and transport support locations.
Measure before selecting
- Component length and maximum section width
- Approved support and lifting points
- Component weight and centre of gravity
- Stacked height including dunnage
Loading approach
Plan crane reach, rigging access and placement before choosing the deck. Do not move support points just to match a trailer.
Support & load concentration
Counterweight stacks create concentrated reactions; lattice boom sections may require separated supports. A distributed deck rating cannot stand in for either case.
Configuration traps
An extendable trailer’s open-state rating may depend on load span and support position.
Build a measured configuration brief →Build the load record
Keep the model reference, actual attachment configuration, measured transport envelope and support drawing together. A change to the machine or its loading position requires the affected comparisons to be updated.
Equipment links support research. Highway Match uses the measurements you enter and does not silently import a related model’s values.
