This crane truck is widely used in warehouse loading, urban construction, and industrial maintenance applications where compact equipment performance is essential.

II. Core Specifications

III. Dimensions, Material & Design Concept

• Cargo Box Dimensions: 4,350 × 2,150 × 550 mm (14.3 × 7.1 × 1.8 feet). This durable flatbed or cargo bed is constructed with high-strength materials for long-lasting performance. The design accommodates various cargo handling requirements for diverse applications including light construction material transport and equipment hauling.

• Chassis Frame: 200 mm (7.9 inches) high-strength steel channel specifically designed for crane applications. The frame provides optimal load-bearing capacity while maintaining lightweight construction for improved fuel efficiency.

• Design Philosophy: "Agility Through Intelligent Design." The vehicle is built around a philosophy of compact efficiency and operational versatility. The short wheelbase design (3,800 mm) provides exceptional maneuverability for mountain roads and confined spaces. The design offers both straight and folding boom options to suit different operational environments—straight booms for open areas requiring maximum reach, and folding booms for tight spaces requiring flexibility. The crane technology incorporates advanced features including four-link mechanisms and flange-type telescopic boom connection.

• Primary Material: High-strength alloy steel throughout critical load-bearing components. The crane boom features optimized geometry for maximum strength-to-weight ratio. The chassis utilizes reinforced construction for durability while maintaining lightweight characteristics.
