Dongfeng 4x2 8 t Five-Section Straight Boom Crane Truck

This Dongfeng 4x2 crane truck suits contractors and equipment dealers who need more reach than a light crane truck offers but still want a two-axle chassis that is easy to register and drive between sites. The SQS200-5 crane uses a five-section straight telescopic boom rated for a maximum lift of 8,000 kg and a lifting moment of 200 kN·m. It reaches a 16 m maximum working range and a 17.5 m lifting height, with a 75° maximum boom angle and full 360° slewing. Capacity falls as the boom extends, so each lift should be planned with the crane's load chart.

The chassis has a Dongfeng D1 cab, a 5,000 mm wheelbase and an 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight, with a 12,800 kg curb weight and 5,070 kg rated payload. A B6.2NS6B210 Euro 6 diesel delivers 154 kW (210 hp) through a 5-speed gearbox. Axles are rated at 6.5 t front and 11.5 t rear on leaf springs, running on 10.00R20 tires. Four fully hydraulic square-box outriggers span 5,270 mm, and the hook retracts automatically when stowed. The 5,400 × 2,400 × 550 mm dropside box can be customized.

Typical tasks include steel and formwork delivery, placing pumps and generators, moving construction machinery parts and port or yard handling. The straight boom favors height and outreach over the compact stowage of a knuckle crane.
