About this crane
Heavy Lifting. Extended Reach. Professional Crane Service.
When your project demands serious lifting power, extended reach, and dependable equipment, Shaw Crane Service delivers. Our Manitex 40124SHL 40-Ton Hydraulic Boom Truck Crane, mounted on a Peterbilt truck chassis, combines powerful lifting performance with excellent mobility and versatility.
Equipped with a 124-foot telescoping main boom and a 31–55-foot jib extension, it reaches maximum tip heights of approximately 187 feet — an excellent choice for structural steel erection, modular construction, rooftop equipment installation, and specialized lifting operations.
Every lift is performed as an operated crane service, so you never need to supply your own crane operator.
Why choose our Manitex 40124SHL?
Powerful 40-ton capacity
With a maximum rated capacity of 80,000 pounds, it’s built for substantial loads — setting heavy structural steel, installing large mechanical equipment, or positioning prefabricated building components.
Reach up to about 187 feet
A five-section hydraulic boom extends to 124 feet, and the jib brings tip heights approaching 187 feet. Especially useful for:
- Multi-story structural steel erection
- Rooftop HVAC installations
- Commercial building construction
- Elevated mechanical equipment placement
- Long-reach specialty lifting
Peterbilt truck-mounted mobility
Mounted on a Peterbilt commercial chassis, our crew travels between sites without the transportation arrangements larger crawler or all-terrain cranes require — efficient for residential, commercial, and industrial jobs with suitable truck access and setup space.
Professional operator included
You get more than equipment. A trained operator manages setup, operation, and load movement, and our team coordinates with your contractors and site personnel to evaluate conditions, plan the lift, and place materials under control.
Jib for extended reach
The jib expands lifting capability beyond the 124-foot main boom — ideal for lighter loads that need extra height or reach, like rooftop mechanical equipment and elevated installation work.
Versatile across industries
Hydraulic boom operation, multiple approved outrigger configurations, and professional operation let us support a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial jobsite requirements.
Lifting capacity varies with working radius, boom length, outrigger setup, and other operating conditions. Jib capacities are governed by the manufacturer’s dedicated jib load charts and are lower than the crane’s maximum main-boom rating.
