What Can A 40t Crane Lift?

A 40 tonne crane does not automatically lift 40 tonnes in every situation.

Actual lifting capability changes based on:

  • Lift radius
  • Boom configuration
  • Counterweight setup
  • Site conditions
  • Lift height
  • Outrigger positioning

Even small adjustments in setup can affect lifting performance.

How To Choose The Right Crane For Your Lift

The largest crane is not always the most practical option.

Some projects need greater reach. Others benefit from easier access, faster setup, or equipment suited to tighter working environments.

LOAD DETAILS

Understand the weight, dimensions and type of the load.

AVAILABLE SPACE

Assess access, clearance and setup space on site.

WORKING RADIUS

Consider the distance from the crane to the lift point.

SITE CONDITIONS

Evaluate ground conditions, terrain and any potential site constraints.

THE RIGHT SOLUTION

Matching the crane to your project ensure safer lifts, better efficiency and smoother outcomes.
