Truck Mounted Crane Capacity and Boom Reach Guide

Truck mounted cranes built on Sinotruk HOWO chassis deliver lifting capacity from 3 to 20 tons, with boom reach and stability suited to urban repair, construction, and logistics operations in developing and remote regions. Each unit is built to customer specifications using standard or custom chassis and crane configurations. All cranes are tested before delivery with full documentation provided.

Chassis and Engine Options

Available on 4x2, 4x4, 6x4 and 8x4 Sinotruk HOWO chassis with 140HP to 371HP diesel engines. Gearboxes range from 6 to 10-speed manual. Left or right hand drive models are available. Chassis are selected based on payload, terrain, and road conditions. Engine power and transmission type match the crane’s lifting duty and operating environment.

Lifting Capacity and Boom Reach

Crane capacity ranges from 3 tons to 20 tons depending on chassis and boom configuration. Boom reach is designed for urban and off-road use. 3-ton cranes suit small repair and installation jobs. 12-ton and 20-ton models handle heavy lifting at construction sites, power line maintenance, and equipment transfer in remote areas.

Payload and Cargo Box Capacity

Cargo box loading capacity varies by chassis: 4 tons on 4x2, 5 to 10 tons on 4x2 and 4x4 with 290HP engine, 12 tons on 6x4, and 15 tons on 8x4. Payload is determined by chassis rating and axle configuration. The cargo box is built to support the crane and its load without compromising stability during lifting operations.

Customization and Finish

Tank colour and logo are applied at the factory at no extra cost. Painting and branding are tailored to customer requirements. Crane and chassis are assembled to match the customer’s technical drawings and operational needs. No additional charge for custom livery or marking.
