crane truck
Explanation:
My technical dictionary (Ansteinsson, Reiersen) gives crane truck or derrick car, although the latter is used on railways.

Truck-mounted crane is another alternative.

crane crawler


Explanation:
I offer this as an option, depending on the context. If the 'kranvogn' is tracked, this may be better than crane truck.
See reference for variations of mobile, crawler, rail and stationary cranes.
