Why this configuration
The cab is 2.1 m wide and single-row, with a full interior trim, leather seats, power windows, central locking and a remote key, so it drives more like a car than a working truck.
Weichai supplies the 220 hp engine and Fast the 8-speed gearbox: a large-displacement engine and a high-torque transmission, which is what a crane truck needs when it has to move a loaded body and then work the crane on the same trip.
An aluminium fuel tank and the 250 mm three-layer frame carry the crane and the body, and the factory electric-control air conditioning is specified for hot markets.
Crane, Body and Steering
The crane is not fixed on this page because it is not fixed on the truck. This chassis is offered with 5 t, 6.3 t, 7 t and 8 t cranes; the make, the boom sections, the maximum reach and the crane's own load chart are confirmed on the quotation rather than assumed here. Tell us the loads you handle and the reach you need, and the crane is matched to the job and to this chassis's axle and gross-weight limits. The cranes in the photographs are examples of what has been fitted to this chassis.
Send us the job — the loads, the reach you need and where the truck has to work — and we will come back with the complete build: chassis, crane, body, the load chart for the crane we propose, and the price.
