Crane bodies are engineered to deal with the torque applied by the crane, and serve to organize your tools and equipment. To complement the bodies we offer, we have a complete line of manual, electric, and hydraulic cranes to help position heavy parts in place for installation and to help load parts on the truck. These crane bodies are heavy machinery workshops on wheels!
