The SQ12SA5 is a 12 ton telescopic boom truck crane. It lifts 12,000 kg at 2.5 m, 5,100 kg at 5.77 m and 600 kg at its full 19.35 m reach, with a 30 t·m maximum lifting moment and 360° slewing. The crane itself weighs 4,550 kg and needs 1,200 mm of space behind the cab.
What the 12 ton SQ12SA5 is built for
The SQ12SA5 has a five-section straight boom that runs out from 5.8 m to 19.3 m. It suits heavy trucks handling steel, precast concrete and machinery, where the long straight boom sets loads down well away from the truck. Stowed, the crane stands 2,781 mm high.
Rated capacity always depends on radius. At 12.6 m the SQ12SA5 lifts 2,000 kg, so check the weight of your heaviest regular load at the distance you need before you choose a tonnage.

Mounting it on your truck
The SQ12SA5 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 |
1,200 mm |
| Outrigger span |
2,309–5,700 mm |
| Width of the crane base |
2,489 mm |
| Height of the crane when stowed |
2,781 mm |
| Hydraulic supply |
75 L/min at 26 MPa, about 42 kW |
| Oil tank |
200 L |

Choosing the right model
Need more than 12 t? The next class up is the SQ14SA5 at 14 t. For lighter loads, the SQ10SA4 at 10 t is the class below.
Before ordering, check that the truck's power take-off can deliver 75 L/min at 26 MPa. We recommend 42 kW of hydraulic power. Its self weight of 4550 kg adds to the load on the truck, so allow for it in the payload.
