A flatbed truck with a boom, often referred to as a flatbed truck with a crane or simply a flatbed crane truck, is a specialized vehicle used for transporting and lifting heavy or oversized loads. It features a flatbed body similar to a standard flatbed truck, providing a level surface for carrying large items or equipment. Additionally, it is equipped with a crane mounted on the rear of the truck or on the flatbed itself. This crane typically has a hydraulic arm or boom with a lifting capacity ranging from a few tons to several tons, depending on the size and specifications of the truck.

The crane allows for the loading, unloading, and positioning of heavy objects onto the flatbed without the need for additional lifting equipment. These trucks are commonly used in construction, logistics, transportation, and other industries requiring the transportation and handling of heavy materials or equipment. They offer versatility and efficiency, enabling operators to complete lifting and transportation tasks with a single vehicle.
