The SQ8SA5 is an 8 ton telescopic boom truck crane. It lifts 8,000 kg at 2.5 m, 4,100 kg at 5.1 m and 400 kg at its full 18.5 m reach, with a 20 t·m maximum lifting moment and 360° slewing. The crane itself weighs 4,100 kg and needs 1,100 mm of space behind the cab.
What the 8 ton SQ8SA5 is built for
The SQ8SA5 has a five-section straight boom that runs out from 5.1 m to 18.5 m, which makes it the choice when you need long reach from a medium or heavy truck. It stands 2,571 mm high when stowed and the outriggers spread to 5,990 mm for a stable base. Typical work is delivering steel, precast concrete and building materials to sites where the truck cannot park close, setting poles and street furniture, lifting machinery and containers of tools onto roofs and platforms, and utility and municipal maintenance. Raised to 75° with the boom fully extended, the hook reaches about 19 m.
Rated capacity always depends on radius. At 8.5 m the SQ8SA5 lifts 1,800 kg, at 11.8 m it lifts 1,350 kg and at 15.2 m it lifts 920 kg, so check the weight of your heaviest regular load at the distance you need before you choose a tonnage. If your loads must go over walls or into tight spots, compare it with the 8 ton knuckle boom crane.
If you need more load at medium radius, the 10 ton boom truck crane SQ10SA4 lifts 2,200 kg at 9.0 m and 1,050 kg at its full 15.5 m reach, with four boom sections.
Load at each radius
Figures from the SQ8SA5 load chart with the boom horizontal. Raising the boom shortens the radius and adds capacity: fully extended to 18.8 m at 75°, it lifts 2,800 kg at 5 m. Download the SQ8SA5 load chart (PDF)
Mounting it on your truck
The SQ8SA5 mounts on a truck chassis behind the cab. These are the figures your body builder needs from the dimension drawing:
