This 2023 Manitex 2892C is a mounted boom truck — sometimes called a boom crane truck or a knuckle-free telescopic crane truck — a type of work machine that combines a hydraulic lifting crane with a carrier vehicle, allowing operators to transport the unit over the road and then lift, place, or set loads directly at the job site. Manitex is a well-established American manufacturer of lifting and material-handling equipment, producing telescopic boom trucks, cranes, and specialized lifting solutions widely used in construction, energy, telecommunications, and industrial applications. This example is offered used from California and is currently priced at $360,000.
The crane component is a Manitex 2892C rated at 28 tons. Its primary boom is a 92-foot four-section telescopic unit, and a one-piece 26-foot jib is included as an additional option, extending maximum reach considerably beyond the base boom. Boom length and angle indicators are fitted as standard, and a boom hoist cylinder handles elevation. Rotation spans 372 degrees on a non-continuous basis, supported by a turret rotation bearing and full swing system mounted on a pedestal and sub-frame sized for a 20-foot bed. A removable boom rest is provided for transit.
The hoisting system features a two-speed hoist with a grooved drum, spooled with 300 feet of 9/16-inch rotation-resistant wire rope. The standard hook-and-ball assembly is rated at 7 tons, and the boom head is a three-load-sheave quick-reeve design. An additional 15-ton single-sheave quick-reeve block is included among the optional equipment. Load management is handled by a Load Moment Indicator with audio and visual alert and automatic shutoff, while an externally wired anti-two-block system with lockout provides secondary overwind protection. A system pressure gauge is also fitted.
Outrigger support consists of A-frame link-type front outriggers spreading to 22 feet 4 inches and out-and-down rear stabilizers with a 13-foot 7-inch spread. A front center stabilizer is included as an additional option, as is the control valve required for single-stabilizer operation. An outrigger monitoring system is fitted for verification purposes, and an audible stabilizer motion alarm activates during outrigger movement. The hydraulic circuit is served by a three-section gear pump in standard counterclockwise rotation; because the carrier uses an automatic transmission, a three-section vane pump in clockwise rotation — required for that configuration — is included. A heavy-duty hydraulic reservoir is chassis-mounted, and the standard 70-gallon reservoir includes a suction strainer and ball valve. A Hotshot PTO completes the power take-off arrangement. Dual operator control stations allow crane operation from either side of the machine, and controls include an electronic throttle, foot throttle, engine start/stop, bubble level, and signal horn. An LMI radio anti-two-block system is also fitted, along with operators service and parts manuals.
The working platform includes a 20-foot steel bed with 1/8-inch thick steel tread plate flooring, and an aluminum toolbox measuring 48 inches long by 24 inches wide by 24 inches high is mounted on the unit.
The carrier is a 2023 Western Star 47X tractor chassis powered by a Cummins L9 diesel engine producing 370 horsepower, paired with an Allison 3000 RDS automatic transmission. The front axle is an MFS-20-133A rated at 20,000 pounds, and the rear is an MT40-14X tandem axle rated at 40,000 pounds, supported by a TufTrac Gen2 rear suspension also rated at 40,000 pounds. Fuel is carried in a single polished aluminum 60-gallon tank. The cab is finished in Sterling Gray with full instrumentation, full power windows, dual heated mirrors, heater and air conditioning with defrost, dual air horns, an exterior stainless steel sunvisor, halogen headlights, and an AM/FM/WB world tuner radio with Bluetooth, USB, and auxiliary inputs. The complete unit is painted White Elite.
