La stabilité est un élément essentiel. Pour les grues sur rails ou sur camion, cette stabilité doit tenir compte de la largeur réduite de la base de sustentation, ce qui nécessite parfois l'adjonction de vérins sur poutres coulissantes pour pouvoir disposer d'une base de sustentation élargie. Certaines grues sur voie ferrée peuvent être réalisées sur voies plus larges que la voie normale. 7, record 1, French, - grue%20sur%20rails
