MAN Crane Trucks at Van Vliet Automotive

Heavy Lifting. Maximum Reach. Built on MAN Performance.

At Van Vliet Automotive, we offer an extensive range of brand-new MAN crane trucks, designed for demanding industrial, construction, infrastructure and logistics operations. Each vehicle combines the trusted engineering of MAN chassis with high-performance loader cranes from world-renowned brands resulting in machines that deliver power, reach and unmatched versatility.

Whether you need a mobile lifting solution for heavy construction materials, container handling, recovery operations, or utility maintenance, our MAN crane trucks are configured to handle it, safely, efficiently and reliably.

Why Choose MAN for Crane Applications?

MAN trucks are globally recognized for their robust construction, high payload capacity and advanced driveline configurations, making them ideal for crane mounting. MAN's TGS, TGM and TGX models provide a stable and durable base for cranes with large outreach and lifting capacities, even in rough terrain or off-road environments.

Key benefits:

• Reinforced chassis to support high crane loads
• High torque engines for PTO-driven hydraulic systems
• Custom axle layouts for weight distribution and stability
• Compatibility with advanced crane tech (e.g., FLY JIB, Smart Winch)

Axle Configurations & Chassis Options

We offer MAN crane trucks in a wide variety of axle configurations, tailored to your terrain, load and operational needs:

• 4x2, 6x2, 6x4
• 4x4, 6x6
• 8x2, 8x4

These configurations determine the number of wheels and driven axles, essential for traction, load-bearing capacity and maneuverability. For example:

• 6x4: Ideal for moderate-to-heavy lifting with off-road capability.
• 8x4: Preferred for large cranes and full 360° lifting operations with four outriggers and front stabilizer.

MAN’s modular axle approach allows for optimized stability during lifting and safe highway performance during transport.

Crane Types and Brands

All MAN crane trucks at Van Vliet are equipped with premium loader cranes from top-tier manufacturers, including:

HIAB

Palfinger

Fassi

PM

These cranes are professionally mounted by certified bodybuilders, ensuring seamless integration with MAN chassis systems. Each crane is selected based on customer needs, from light-duty, fast-deploying units to high-capacity models for industrial lifting.

Lifting Capacity & Stability Systems

Crane capacities range widely based on application:

• Light-duty cranes (e.g., 30–45 t/m): Ideal for material handling and delivery.
• Heavy-duty cranes (e.g., 90–120+ t/m): Suitable for construction equipment, containers and structural steel.

To support safe lifting, heavy-duty MAN crane trucks are fitted with:

• Four hydraulic outriggers
• Front stabilizer beams mounted to chassis extensions
• Load-balancing systems and crane control safety software

These systems allow 360° operational stability, even with long outreach or asymmetric loads.

Outreach & Extension Capabilities

Crane reach depends on the number of hydraulic extensions and optional attachments like a FLY JIB. For example:

• A crane with 9 hydraulic extensions can reach up to 22–25 meters horizontally
• A FLY JIB adds vertical and angled reach, ideal for lifting over obstacles or onto multi-story structures

This makes MAN crane trucks perfect for operations in tight spaces, urban sites, or hard-to-reach industrial zones.

Advanced Features & Controls

Modern MAN crane trucks are often equipped with advanced control systems and accessories, including:

• Remote control units: Wireless operation with full visibility and enhanced safety
• Crane winches (2.5T to 3.5T): For vertical lifting of suspended loads
• Smart winch integration: Synchronizes winch movement with boom telescoping
• Toolboxes & crane accessories: Chains, hooks, pads and remote chargers
• Stability monitoring systems: Alerts and auto-limits to prevent overload or tipping

These features allow operators to work faster, more safely, and with less manpower.

Versatile Body Configurations

MAN crane trucks can be configured with various body types to match specific industry applications:

With MAN’s modular frame and axle designs, the chassis can be tailored for any of these body types, allowing for flexible custom builds.

Emission Standards & Global Compliance

All MAN crane trucks at Van Vliet meet European emission standards, ensuring compliance in cities and clean zones:

• Euro 2
• Euro 3
• Euro 4
• Euro 5
• Euro 6

Depending on your country of operation, we can advise on the best engine variant to match local regulations while balancing power and fuel efficiency.

MAN TGS, TGM and TGX – Built for Crane Applications

• MAN TGS: The workhorse of heavy-duty crane applications. High axle loads, excellent off-road performance and engine outputs up to 510 hp.
• MAN TGM: Mid-range truck ideal for city and regional lifting tasks. Lighter weight with strong payload-to-power ratio.
• MAN TGX: Long-distance and heavy-haul option, used when crane operations are combined with logistics or transport functions.

Each series can be factory-equipped or custom-modified for crane installation, depending on lifting needs, terrain and application.
