HOWO 8x4 20 t Straight Boom Crane Truck

Built on a HOWO 8x4 chassis, this truck mounted crane is intended for heavy equipment loading where a cargo bed and lifting gear are needed together. The SQS500-5 straight boom has a stated 20,000 kg maximum at a 2.5 m working radius, including a hook weighing about 160 kg. At its maximum working radius of 22.1 m, the chart gives 1,000 kg. These are different operating points, so a lift must be planned from the full chart.

The vehicle is 12,000 × 2,550 × 3,990 mm overall, with a 2,100 + 4,300 + 1,350 mm wheelbase. Its 31,000 kg gross weight and 21,300 kg curb weight leave a rated 9,505 kg payload. The chassis has a 297 kW engine, twelve speed transmission and 315/80R22.5 tires. The five section octagonal boom reaches a maximum lifting height of 23.2 m. Its dropside bed measures 8,500 × 2,450 × 600 mm, with final dimensions subject to configuration.

For construction and industrial deliveries, the truck can transport materials on the bed and then lift them into position. The long reach is useful when obstacles keep the vehicle back from the unloading point, but it sharply reduces the permissible load. Confirm the chart for the supplied boom and stabilizers, the actual load radius, axle loads and bed payload before choosing this model.
