I think Cranes and heavy machineries cannot be classified as  "commercial vehicle" for Income Tax purposes . 

as per Note 6 to Appendix I of Income Tax Rule - "Commercial vehicle" means "heavy goods vehicle", "heavy passenger motor vehicle", "light motor vehicle", "medium goods vehicle" and "medium passenger motor vehicle" but does not include "maxi-cab", "motor-cab", "tractor" and "road-roller". The expressions "heavy goods vehicle", "heavy passenger motor vehicle", "light motor vehicle", "medium goods vehicle", "medium passenger motor vehicle", "maxi-cab", "motor-cab", "tractor" and "road-roller" shall have the meanings respectively assigned to them in section 2 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (59 of 1988).

even 'tractor' and 'road-roller' are not included  in "commercial vehicle" for income tax purpose.

YES 30% DEPRECIATION CAN BE CLAIMED ON COMERCIAL VEHICLE RUNNING THEM ON HIRE.
