The SQZ700 is a 34 ton knuckle boom truck crane with a 70.1 t·m maximum lifting moment. Its 34,000 kg maximum capacity applies close to the crane column; on the load chart it lifts 14,360 kg at 4.4 m, 10,600 kg at 5.8 m and 2,500 kg at its full 20.3 m reach, with 360° slewing. The crane itself weighs 8,500 kg.
What the 34 ton SQZ700 is built for
The SQZ700 is one of the heavy cranes in our knuckle boom range, and it keeps useful capacity far from the truck: 6,050 kg at 9.4 m and 3,290 kg at 15.7 m. Stowed, it folds to 2,550 mm wide and 2,450 mm high and takes about 1,650 mm of chassis length behind the cab. It needs a heavy truck chassis with a strong subframe, and suits steel and precast concrete delivery, lifting heavy machinery, generators and transformers, and building and infrastructure sites. With the boom raised, the tip reaches about 23 m above the crane base.
Rated capacity always depends on radius, so check the weight of your heaviest regular load at the distance you need before you choose a tonnage. For comparison, the SQZ800 40 ton knuckle boom crane lifts 6,500 kg at 9.4 m and 2,800 kg at 20.3 m.

Mounting it on your truck
The SQZ700 mounts on a truck chassis behind the cab. These are the figures your body builder needs from the dimension drawing:
| Width of the crane when stowed |
2,550 mm |
| Height of the crane when stowed |
2,450 mm |
| Length of the crane along the chassis |
1,650 mm |
| Outrigger span |
2,250–8,600 mm |
| Hydraulic supply |
90 L/min at 35 MPa, about 75 kW |
| Oil tank |
300 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 SQZ700 dimension drawing (PDF)
