Telematics
Auto Crane was also the first to integrate cranes with fleet telematics systems such as Telogis (now Verizon) to bring metrics that fleet managers need to help optimize trucks.
Best Warranty
Auto Crane offers the best warranty in the service crane industry with a 2-year “bumper to bumper” warranty from time of in-service. Read the specifics of our warranty here.
Competitors only cover “major components” or “components they manufacture” leaving you to replace expensive electronic components. They also have “gottchas” like proof of maintenance required, or you have to buy their OEM maintenance supplies or the warranty is void. Some even require you to get pre-approval to fix your crane.
