SKPL-LIFT · CUSTOMER CASE STUDY 10 Ton Truck Mounted Crane in the Philippines A family-run truck rental company turned a local gap into a profitable crane rental business. |
The SKPL-LIFT 10 ton knuckle boom crane on site
2 cranes | 35 days lead time | 3 months payback | 8 months running |
01 Customer Background
The customer is a family-run truck rental company in a small town in the Philippines, with around 20 employees and five vehicles. Truck rental was the original business.
The owner, who manages the fleet himself, kept hearing the same complaint: loads arrived by truck, but unloading heavy equipment required renting a crane from a distant city, paying for travel time and waiting days.
Located in a remote area with very few truck mounted cranes for rent, he saw a clear opportunity. Adding crane rental to the fleet would serve an unmet local need and give his existing truck customers a reason to stay with one provider.
02 Why They Chose SKPL-LIFT
The owner compared SKPL-LIFT with European brands Hiab and Palfinger, and also looked at second-hand cranes from the local market. The conclusion surprised him.
Hiab / Palfinger (new) | Local used cranes | SKPL-LIFT (new) | |
Price | Significantly higher | Cheap upfront | Factory-direct, much more affordable |
Lifting capacity | Same class | Varies, unknown | Comparable lifting capacity to European brands |
Working life | Long | Short, high wear | Brand-new, long service life |
Customization | Limited / expensive | Not possible | Raised outriggers for off-road chassis at no extra cost |
Certification | CE / local | None | CE certified |
03 The Two 10 Ton Knuckle Boom Cranes
Built for daily rental work in tight spaces and rough terrain, the cranes were tailored to the customer’s fleet.
· Folding boom design: does not occupy the truck bed, so the vehicle can still carry cargo and do two jobs at once.
· Raised outriggers: matched to the customer’s special off-road chassis, modified in the drawings before production.
· LED work lights: for night and low-light jobs.
· Chassis compatibility: fits most truck chassis, or custom drawings before manufacturing when needed.
04 Delivery & Training
Lead time: 35 days from order to delivery, shipped by sea to the Philippines with experienced freight partners. Customers choose the port closest to their site.
Training: a complete installation manual, online video guidance and a simple mounting design. Even a first-time team installed without trouble, and the operator learned to run the crane in about one day.
05 Results in Numbers
Because the folding boom does not take up cargo space, the company quickly won equipment transfer contracts with a local machinery factory. By the second week after the cranes arrived, the owner was already working with the equipment manufacturer on a steady basis.
The two cranes paid for themselves in just three months. Eight months later, both machines are running well, and the owner is still receiving rental requests.
