Hey guys, just wanted to know if a crane lorry can be driven with just a class 2 licence? Many Thanks
Unless its an artic towing a trailer then YES.
No restrictions within the licences on equipment carried its just down to rigid or towing a trailer

surely you’d need a C+E+E licence drive one of those 
Yes, you can drive one although you won’t generally be able to use the crane attachment unless you have a HIAB certificate.
Incidentally, a bit of trivia for you, HIAB stands for Hydraliska Industri AB. Not a lot of people know that

There is no law that says you have to have a hiab ticket to operate a hiab.

And Michael Caine never said “My name is Michael Caine” or “Not a lot of people know that”
What we really want to know is . . . why are there so many HIAB (sorry) vehicle mounted loading cranes, whose origin of manufacture is Italy?

would be the same answers, well i was told aslong as it was a rigid truck i could drive it, as i asked if you could drive one of those 500 ton 18 wheel cranes out of curiosity, could be wrong though?

No, but virtually nobody would employ someone to operate a crane lorry unless they had one.

Fassi is the only italian brand of hiab im aware off.
theres also Copma and Pesci lorry loaders that are made in Italy
and fancy someone mentioning ALLMI as ive just spent the past week retraining all our hiab operators well all 6 of them after qualifying as an ALLMI approved instructor last month

You can drive anything on a car licence, so long as it has had the fifth wheel taken off.
High-speed train, space shuttle, anything. Just so long as it has had the fifth wheel taken off. Honest to God, that’s the truth, that it.

I once overheard a driver shouting it out in the Routemasters . . Pride of Kent iirc
Serious question, can you drive a tractor unit on a C as long as you don’t pull a trailer? Or does the fifth wheel need removing/covering?

Actually a mobile crane, no matter how big can be driven on a agricultural tractor licence.
