This 2019 National NBT45-1 is a mounted boom truck — a crane mounted on a carrier chassis, also commonly referred to as a knuckle boom truck or picker truck in certain segments of the industry — used for lifting, placing, and handling heavy loads from a mobile platform across construction, utility, energy, and infrastructure applications. National Crane is a well-established manufacturer of boom trucks and hydraulic cranes, producing equipment widely used across commercial construction, electric utility, telecommunications, and oil and gas sectors.
This unit is configured as the NBT45127-1 model and carries a rated capacity of 45 US tons. The main boom extends to 127 feet, and the machine is equipped with a 31- to 55-foot jib, giving operators a substantial combined reach for demanding lifts at elevation. A 102-foot aluminum work deck is included, providing a safe and lightweight elevated working surface. The operator's cab is fitted with air conditioning for comfort during extended operation, and the crane features a single front outrigger alongside a manual rotation lock for the bearing.
The crane is mounted on a Peterbilt 567 chassis, a heavy-duty commercial truck platform well suited to the demands of crane mounting and road transport. Power is supplied by a Cummins X-15 engine rated at 500 horsepower, paired with an 18-speed Eaton UltraShift Plus automated transmission for smooth and controlled operation. The front axle is rated at 20,000 pounds and equipped with disc brakes; the rear axle is rated at 46,000 pounds, also with disc brakes. Two lift axles rated at 13,500 pounds each provide additional load distribution and regulatory compliance support during transit.
The frame rails have received a zinc-coated anti-corrosion treatment, extending the structural service life of the carrier in demanding or harsh working environments. Additional equipment includes a fuel heater — useful for reliable cold-weather starting — and work lights for low-light or night operations. The seller notes that further features and equipment are present beyond those itemized above. The unit is located in Ohio, USA, and is offered in used condition.
