In recent years, pick and carry cranes have become commonplace on construction sites thanks to their compact size and affordability. One of the other major benefits that pick and carry cranes offer is the fact that they are compatible with a range of attachments and accessories.

Various attachments mean that these cranes are exceptionally flexible in their applications, and just one piece of machinery can now handle a variety of jobs on your job site!

When discussing which attachments are available for pick and carry cranes, it is important to remember that each model is slightly different and will be compatible with a different set of attachments.

Some popular attachments and accessories for pick and carry cranes include:

Fork Attachment

The fork attachment is undoubtedly one of the most popular pick and carry crane attachments available. When the fork is attached to the head of the lifting beam, the crane essentially turns into a telehandler and can take on a wide variety of jobs. Modern fork attachments come with cutting-edge technology that offers automatic levelling.

Jibs

Jibs come in hydraulic and manual forms and offer an extension to the crane’s reach and tilt. This can be very helpful, especially on small construction sites where space is limited. Hydraulic jobs are the more popular option as they allow you to extend your reach by simply pushing a button!

Heavy-duty Winch

Popular with all sorts of different mobile cranes, heavy-duty winch attachments allow you to raise and lower loads without ever having to adjust your boom’s angle. This makes for easy and convenient cooperation. With a heavy-duty winch, you can also lower it below floor level. This is a useful attachment that really comes in handy.

Remote Controls

In the past decade, remote control for cranes has become very popular. These innovative controls allow you to lift, lower and move loads from as far away as 50 metres from the crane. Operate the crane as you would if you were sitting inside and gain even better precision! In our opinion, this is really the future of construction.
