Monroe Truck Equipment Crane Packages Do the Heavy Lifting

When it comes to safety on any jobsite, one truth is constant: an extra hand is always welcome. Whether you're replacing a bulldozer track, repairing a water main, or lifting a massive generator onto a barge, safety and efficiency are critical. With purpose-built crane bodies designed to handle the toughest jobs, Monroe Truck Equipment tailors each crane package to keep workers safe and make every lift easier.

Safety Isn’t Optional

Many companies face increasingly strict safety regulations, especially regarding lifting heavy objects. In many large cities across the country, workers are legally prohibited from lifting anything over 50 lbs. without mechanical assistance. That’s where Monroe’s crane-equipped truck bodies become essential. With lifting capacities ranging from 2,000 lbs. to 10,000 lbs., our crane packages help companies prevent workplace injuries, reduce liability, and stay compliant with OSHA and workers’ compensation laws.

Whether it's a 2,000-lb. electric crane for lighter service work or a 10,000-lb. P.T.O. operated powerhouse for major repairs and installs, Monroe has a solution that fits.
