The SQ10ZA6 is a 10 ton knuckle boom truck crane. It lifts 10,000 kg at 2 m, 4,650 kg at 4.5 m and 1,150 kg at its full 14.68 m reach, with a 21 t·m maximum lifting moment and 360° slewing. The crane itself weighs 3,700 kg.
What the 10 ton SQ10ZA6 is built for
The SQ10ZA6 folds its boom into a compact package behind the cab: stowed, it is 2,460 mm wide and 2,340 mm high, so most of the truck bed stays free for cargo. Unfolded, the knuckle joint lets the boom reach over a wall, a stack of material or a parked vehicle and set the load down at a low angle, which suits delivering blocks, steel and building materials to sites, loading machinery and containers, and utility and maintenance work. Raised to 84°, the hook reaches about 17 m.
Rated capacity always depends on radius. At 8.51 m the SQ10ZA6 lifts 2,280 kg and at 10.56 m it lifts 1,800 kg, so check the weight of your heaviest regular load at the distance you need before you choose a tonnage. If you need a straight boom instead, the 10 ton telescopic SQ10SA4 is in the same class.

Mounting it on your truck
The SQ10ZA6 mounts on a truck chassis behind the cab. These are the figures your body builder needs from the dimension drawing:
| Installation space behind the cab |
1,199 mm |
| Outrigger span |
2,499–5,799 mm |
| Width of the crane when stowed |
2,460 mm |
| Height of the crane when stowed |
2,340 mm |
| Hydraulic supply |
40 L/min at 30 MPa, about 30 kW |
| Oil tank |
160 L |
Send us your truck make, model and wheelbase, and we check that the chassis and power take-off suit the crane before you order. Download the SQ10ZA6 dimension drawing (PDF)

Optional attachments
- Hydraulic gripper opened and closed by its own cylinder to grab and release loads.
- Clamshell bucket for loading, unloading and light digging of waste, chippings and soil.
- Orange peel grab for scrap and bulk material.
- Timber grapple for logs and timber.
- Auger for tree-planting holes, utility poles, foundation piles and soil sampling.
Certification
The SQ10Z series holds a CE certificate of conformity under the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Choosing the right model
Need more than 10 t? The next class up is the SQ12ZA6 at 12 t. For lighter loads, the SQ8ZA6 at 8 t is the class below.
Before ordering, check that the truck's power take-off can deliver 40 L/min at 30 MPa. We recommend 30 kW of hydraulic power. Its self weight of 3700 kg adds to the load on the truck, so allow for it in the payload.
