On cost, I have no idea from the Crane comapny's stand point but from the trucker it all depends on where the crane is at and how far the travel is for its next job. It gets real expensive when the load out/in area is very small/tight for trucks to get around in. Then you end up using trucks/trailers speced for maneuverability to shuttle all of the loads out to an area that allows you to unload and reload onto trucks/trailers that are capable of legally and safely carrying the loads to the destination. I think the smallest crawler with the fewest loads we move is a Linkbelt 218 which consist of one 9 axle lowboy (in CA.) and 2 step decks. The largest cranes we have moved have been upwards of 60 loads. An example would be the Manitowoc 18000, but it all depends on what configuration it is being set up in for how heavy a pick it is going to make.
