The most significant advance in the tractor crane was the BHB crane, based on the Australian Chamberlain Industrial tractor. Manufacturer Fowler protected this design with patents, which partly explained the lack of change. This crane had a 5-ton capacity, and changed little in basic design until the early 1970s. For positioning the load, the crane gooseneck was sufficiently tall that the truck or tractor could turn under the gooseneck to face the hook.Īustralian engineer Laurie Hardman had the idea that the front axle of the prime mover could be dispensed with, to create an articulated crane that was more manoeuvrable.
The crane section was mounted on a turntable, and trailed behind a truck or tractor when travelling.
