[0002] Crawler crane is a boom-rotating crane that uses crawler tracks to move. The crawler tracks have a large ground contact area, good trafficability, strong adaptability, and can move with loads. They are suitable for hoisting operations in many occasions (wind power, petrochemical, subway, bridges, prefabricated buildings, etc.). With the development trend of large-scale equipment, intensive design, and modular construction, crawler cranes are becoming more and more widely used. The truss boom is the core component of the crawler crane, which is related to whether the hoisting work can be completed safely and efficiently.
