I run convoys and have sat in the cab of a few Tatras. The interior is basic but functional. Armor options and NBC filters are real pluses for crew safety, and it seats up to eight depending on layout. Climate options exist - AC and independent heating - so long missions are tolerable, but don’t expect luxury. Engines come air-cooled or from Cummins/Cat. Air-cooled units are simpler to work on in the field, fewer cooling-system headaches, but parts for unique Tatra components can be a pain to source outside Europe. That means maintenance costs and downtime can vary a lot. Fuel range is decent with the 420 L tank, about 750 km, so you don’t have to refuel every day. Driving aids are there (auto box, ABS) so you get control help, but servicing logistics are the weak spot if you’re far from support.

I've driven the Tatra T815 in some challenging terrain, and I must say, its off-road capabilities are impressive. The backbone tube chassis design provides unparalleled durability in rugged conditions. The air-cooled V12 engine option I had was very reliable. However, the operational range could feel a bit limiting on extended missions. Overall, it's a solid truck for its intended applications.

I was planning to buy a Kato NK 500 crane from 2002 with a carrying capacity of 50 tons. I actively sought advice from experienced guys about this machine. In the end, after 3 months of searching, I found a decent option. The crane has been working well for almost a year now, we'll see how it goes in the future. As for the purchase, I would like to say the following: make sure to check the engine, pumps, cylinders, rollers, cables, or take a specialist with you for inspection. It's better to slightly overpay upfront than to spend a lot later on.

I bought the ATF 110 G-5 TADANO mobile crane based on a friend's recommendation 5 years ago. I needed a reliable piece of equipment with a minimum lifting capacity of 50 tons. We had to work on sticky clay soil, but the machine performed exceptionally well in such conditions due to its robust wheels and advanced transmission. We purchased the machine in used condition, but it works well. In the first 1.5 years, we didn't need any repairs, and over the course of 5 years, there were only a few minor breakdowns.

If you enjoy working on repairing heavy construction equipment, be sure to get your hands on this "wonder" of Chinese industry. The crane falls apart right before your eyes!...

I rented the Tadano ATF 50-G3 all-terrain crane for the installation of construction blocks. I operated it myself, so I want to highlight the convenient controls and comfortable conditions in the cabin. The crane is operated with hydraulic controls using two joysticks. The reinforced steel frame makes the crane reliable and safe. Despite its bulky appearance, it is remarkably maneuverable.

Last year, I had the opportunity to test the Liebherr LTM 1070 mobile crane. We rented it from a well-known company in the city. One of the distinctive features of this machine is the presence of two engines. The crane is fully drivable, with a wide range of wheel rotation modes. The required mode can be set using the onboard computer. The system allows entering data on all the objects that need to be dealt with on the construction site. At every stage, the computer monitors the operator's work, ensuring reliable protection against the so-called "human factor" interference. The crane operator's cabin is spacious, ergonomic, and equipped with a climate control system.
