III. Dimensions, Material & Design Concept

• Cargo Box Dimensions: 8,500 × 2,290 × 550 mm (27.9 × 7.5 × 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 construction material transport and heavy equipment hauling.

• Chassis Frame: 300 mm (11.8 inches) triple-layer straight-through high-strength steel channel. The frame features full three-layer reinforcement throughout, providing exceptional load-bearing capacity and structural rigidity for demanding crane operations. This heavy-duty frame design ensures long-term structural integrity under repeated stress and prevents deformation during maximum capacity lifting.

• Design Philosophy: "Strength Through Innovation." The vehicle is built around a philosophy of robust engineering and operational efficiency. The cab options (D913 or T702) provide flexibility for different operator preferences, with the T701 luxury cab featuring modern aesthetics and premium comfort features. The design incorporates advanced technologies including single-cylinder cable synchronous telescoping for improved efficiency and multi-section boom geometry for optimal strength. The crane utilizes pentagonal or hexagonal boom technology for superior performance.

• Primary Material: High-strength alloy steel throughout critical load-bearing components. The crane boom features advanced geometry design with pentagonal or hexagonal section for maximum strength-to-weight ratio. The chassis utilizes triple-layer reinforcement construction for exceptional durability.
