XCMG SQZ4500C Knuckle-Boom Crane

Overview

The XCMG SQZ4500C is a flagship model in XCMG’s large-tonnage knuckle-boom crane range. The series is built around high lifting capacity, combined with a low body height for working in restricted headroom, powered boom extension under load, fine combined movements and all-round lifting capability. XCMG states the range covers lifting capacities from 40 t to 220 t and targets heavy, precise lifting inside factories and tunnels.

With a 106 t maximum lifting capacity and a lightweight, compact chassis, the SQZ4500C is aimed at workshops and plant buildings where a conventional crane cannot reach or cannot fit.

Key Features

• Six-section boom, four-stage twin push — stronger lifting and powered extension capacity for heavy loads at reach.
• Cushioned sequenced telescoping — sequentially extended cylinders with cushioning for reliable, smooth and precise boom movement.
• Twin high-torque slewing reducers — strong slewing power and effective braking for smoother, safer slewing.
• Integrated box-section frame with six outriggers — all-round working capability with side lifting up to 60 t.
• Proportional hydraulics — fine control and combined movement, with a differential boom circuit that switches between fast and slow speeds, plus XCMG wide-temperature hydraulic oil for operation from -23 °C to 88 °C.
• Lightweight, road-legal design — reduced own weight within legal limits.
• Compact footprint — short body and small turning radius for moving in tight spaces, and low overall height so the crane can enter workshops and factory buildings.

Applications

Lifting and hoisting, construction sites, and factory and plant handling.
