field. These vehicles not only serve as transportation for your frontline workers, but they also provide the tools and resources they need to get their job done. Typically, these vocational units feature a variety of upfit solutions that customize the vehicle for a particular role, and in some applications, the buildout includes a mobile crane.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a mobile crane to a fleet vehicle is a complex process that requires significant planning and expertise. With that in mind, Holman&#8217;s Mike DeCesare recently discussed the topic with\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/fleetmobility.ca\/heavy-truck-and-specialty\/mobile-muscle-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fleet &amp; Mobility<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>to help fleet operators make an informed decision.<em>\u00a0<\/em>In the article, Mike said that most companies are best served partnering with an industry expert or fleet management provider who can help them navigate the intricacies of adding mobile cranes to their fleet mix.<\/p>\n<p>Mike noted that when a fleet operator needs a mobile crane, more often than not, the crane is incorporated in the upfit specification for a mechanic&#8217;s truck buildout. He also highlighted several key considerations that will help determine the type of vehicle chassis and crane you&#8217;ll need to tackle a particular job.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<style>\n\tsection{margin:0;}\nsection.resource-wysiwyg{margin:20px 0 0;padding:0;}\nsection.resource-wysiwyg:first-of-type {margin:35px 0 0;padding:0;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p{margin-bottom:16px;font-size:16px; line-height: 24px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg h2, .resource-wysiwyg h3, .resource-wysiwyg h4{margin-top:40px;color:#003057;}\n.resource-wysiwyg h3{margin-bottom:16px;color:#003057;font-weight:500;}\n.resource-wysiwyg h4 {line-height: 24px; font-size:16px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg h5{font-size:14px;font-weight:500;margin:16px 0;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img{padding:16px 24px;max-width:40%;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img.alignright{float:right;padding-right:0px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img.alignleft{float:left;padding-left:0px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg ul{margin-left:0;padding-left:1rem;margin:16px 0;}\n.resource-wysiwyg ul li{font-size:16px;font-weight:400;}\n.resource-wysiwyg ul li::marker{color:#2C9941;font-size:20px;margin-top:5px;}\n#form-container-gated #ebook-form h2, #form-container-gated #ebook-form h3, #form-container-gated #ebook-form h4{margin-top:0px;}\n@media(max-width:600px){section.resource-wysiwyg:first-of-type{margin:16px 0 0;}.resource-wysiwyg img{max-width:50%;height:auto;padding:8px 12px;}}\n<\/style>\n\n\n    <section class=\"holman-resources quote-testimonial\" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"inner\">\n            <div class=\"quote-testimonial-quote\">\n                <div class=\"body-1\"><p>\u201cYou need to know approximately how much weight you\u2019re lifting, and more importantly, how far you need to lift it. Is it a vertical lift, meaning simply up and down, or do you need to rotate your crane with the load? Are you reaching over the side of the truck or just in the rear?
