Truck cranes and crane trucks in India: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

A truck-mounted crane in India is listed from about ₹19,00,000 for an 80-tonne unit to around ₹1,21,00,000 for a 45-tonne one, depending on capacity and condition. Rental rates were not in the listings we checked, so the quickest way to current figures for your job is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and what to check on paper

The Indian Standard IS 4573 covers power-driven mobile cranes, and BIS certification applies to cranes and their assemblies and components. Ask the seller for the load chart of the exact machine, which shows how much it can lift at each boom length and working radius. Crane safety guidance for India also names a 12-month examination, rules on who may operate a crane, and checks on ground and outrigger support. Ask for the latest examination record before you agree on a price.

Season and site conditions

The climate here is tropical, with heat all year and separate wet and dry seasons. Heavy rain softens the ground under the outriggers and can stop lifts, so plan crane work for the drier weeks and leave room in the lease term for weather delays. Check the forecast for your city before you fix the dates, and ask the seller whether the machine has worked on wet sites.

Delivery and how a crane is bought here

A truck crane drives to the site under its own power, so ask whether the seller can bring it within your city and what the travel charge is. Give weights in tonnes and boom lengths in metres, and state the working radius you need, because a crane's lifting capacity drops as the radius grows. The table shows purchase prices. For rental, ask whether the rate is per hour, per day or per month, and whether the operator and fuel are included.

What to write in your request

Name the machine type, the lifting capacity in tonnes, the boom length and the load you need to lift. Add whether you want to buy or rent, new or used, the year you prefer, the city, the lease term and your budget. With those details sellers can quote a precise price instead of a wide range.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. Describe the crane in your own words in the chat and add a photo if you have one. The AI asks for missing details such as tonnage and radius, searches sellers' websites and price lists in India, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact.
