PPM – other models: the collection page for the French truck-mounted cranes, AC and TC ranges, six- to eight-cylinder diesels, gross weights up to 60 tonnes
This page gathers vehicles from PPM (Potain-Poclain Manutention), a French manufacturer of mobile cranes built on purpose-designed multi-axle chassis, which is why the register lists them among the trucks. The AC designation (All Terrain Crane) marks off-road cranes on their own chassis, TC (Truck Crane) cranes on a reinforced truck chassis; the following number gives the lifting-capacity class in tonnes, and the "/2L" or "/3L" suffix the number of axles. PPM was absorbed into the US group Terex in the 1990s as the European crane industry consolidated.

The register lists 17 versions here with 5,958 to 11,946 cm³ displacement from six- to eight-cylinder engines, weights of 15,600 to 59,900 kg, gross vehicle weights of 17,100 to 60,000 kg, lengths of 10,500 to 14,760 mm and widths of 2,480 to 2,800 mm.
As a specialist crane builder, PPM served the market for mobile lifting equipment in construction and industry, competing with Grove, Liebherr and Faun; the vehicles on this page span the range from more compact truck cranes to heavy multi-axle all-terrain cranes.
On these specialised vehicles, check the condition of the boom and hydraulic cylinders including seals, the structure of the outriggers and chassis, the engine and drivetrain condition given the high operating weight, the function of the load-moment limiter, and — because of the low production numbers — the availability of load charts and maintenance documentation.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
