DUBLIN, Mar. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w3tfhd/crane) has announced the addition of the "Crane Truck/Mechanic Service Body Manufacturing in North America" report to their offering.

Crane truck bodies examined in this report are service/utility truck bodies with special modifications for mounting a crane onto the body. These bodies are also known as mechanic service bodies.

The truck beds have external side cabinets for storage of tools, parts and hardware. The compartment below the crane is reinforced to support the crane and withstand the demands of various lifting applications. A crane mounted on a truck body provides mobility, thereby eliminating the need for special equipment to transport such cranes to the jobsite.

Most crane truck bodies are manufactured by companies that also manufacture telescopic and articulated cranes. Truck-mounted cranes can be sold as standalone units or integrated units. In the case of integrated units, both the crane and the truck body are manufactured and assembled by the crane manufacturer. Standalone units are sold through equipment dealers, who mount these cranes onto bodies with crane reinforcements sourced from various service/utility body manufacturers.

This research has identified twenty-nine manufacturers of crane truck bodies in North America. Eleven of the identified companies manufacture both the cranes and the truck bodies on which they are mounted. The report presents estimates of 2013 production/sales in units and at market values, as well as an overview of the broad competitive pictureincluding standings of key manufacturersand the demand outlook for the industry through 2018.

The report can be put to immediate use for sales and market planning, M&A identification, competitive share analysis, alliances and technology transfer considerations.
