The SQ08ZA3 is an 800 kg knuckle boom pickup crane with outriggers and no manual extension. It lifts 800 kg at 1.34 m, 450 kg at 2.25 m and 300 kg at its full 3.23 m reach, with a 1.3 t·m maximum lifting moment and 330° slewing. The crane itself weighs 365 kg.
About the video: the crane filmed is the SQ08ZA3J, the same 800 kg crane fitted with the optional hydraulic winch (the J in the model name). It is shown mounted in a pickup bed, with close-ups of the winch and the electric-hydraulic power unit, then inside a workshop raising its boom to full reach and slewing.
What the 800 kg SQ08ZA3 is built for
The SQ08ZA3 is the lightest model in our pickup range. It bolts to the bed of a pickup or light truck and sits on a 660 × 465 mm base. It suits short stops: loading generators, pumps, engines, gas cylinders, bagged materials and tool boxes, roadside and farm service work, and small deliveries where no forklift is available. Folded, it stands 1,614 mm tall; raised to 75°, the boom clears high tailgates and stacked cargo.
Set the outriggers before every lift so the load does not sit on the vehicle’s own suspension and tyres. Park on firm, level ground and respect each figure below. If you need more reach, compare it with the SQ08ZA3+1, which adds a manual extension and reaches 4.15 m.
The outriggers are the same as on the SQ08ZA3+1: two legs with a span of 1,464–3,020 mm and a height adjustable from 640 to 1,020 mm.

Mounting it on your pickup
These are the figures from the SQ08ZA3 dimension drawing that you or your body builder need:
| Mounting space |
