The SQZ500 is a 25 t knuckle boom truck-mounted crane with a maximum lifting moment of 53.9 t·m. It runs on a recommended 50 kW power supply with 70 L/min of hydraulic flow at 33 MPa, weighs 6300 kg and has a rated slewing angle of 360°.

Buyers often search for this machine as a 25 ton truck crane or crane truck. The SQZ500 is a loader crane fitted behind the cab, so the truck keeps its cargo body and carries the goods it lifts. That makes it different from a mobile truck crane, which has its own carrier and no cargo deck. We ship the SQZ500 on its own for mounting on your truck; we have fitted our cranes to Dongfeng, Isuzu and Sinotruk trucks.

Why Select the 25 Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane?

The compact form factor of this crane makes it stand out among other traditional designs. Nevertheless, the reduced size is not an indication of inefficiency. On top of the reliability, it has other benefits like a greater load ratio, and light nature, making it suitable for environments with space restrictions.

The 25 Ton Knuckle Boom Truck Mounted Crane is also easy to operate and offers high performance. The distribution network of this crane is extensive so you won't have to worry about availability. Best part is that we offer post sales customer service, and you can also expect a quick response to all your queries. Any orders you make for equipment or accessories are delivered promptly.

The crane’s boom has 4 link boom design for better lifting capacity and cost-effective operation. Other great features are its user friendliness, and enhanced hydraulic lock mechanism which allows for better safety. It has a 3-point bridge design that reduces the amount of stress on the chassis during operation.
