The Confined AreaLifting Capacities(CALC) systemprovides threeoutrigger positions:• full retraction• intermediate
extension• full extension
Lightweight nylon headsheaves (including theoptional auxiliary liftingsheave shown here)reduce overall machineweight and increase liftcapacities.
Quick reeve boom headallows rope to be easilyreeved over boom head.
The exclusive “A-Max”system providesoptimum strength andstability. For in-close,big picks, the “A-Max”mode allows theoperator to extendonly the inner mid-section of the boom.
Hammerhead boomnose allows the operatorto work at high boomangles.

Four modes of steering:• Independent front• Coordinated four wheel• Four wheel “crab”• Independent rear
Smooth ride...4-Link suspension
The fully independent rear 4-Link suspension greatly reducesthe inherent bouncing at medium speeds and
greatly improves handling, maneuver-ability and turning radius in both
on- and off-road conditions.To further reduce the bounce,the exclusive Hydro-gas™Ride system serves as ashock absorber through
a charged accumulatorsystem for greatly improved
carrier stability.
Operators-Cab...Roomier and more ergonomic than traditional cabs, the Cab features include:
• Larger window openings for increased operator visibilty• Tilt-telescopic steering column now includes controls and
switches for excellent operator control and comfort• Six-way adjustable fabric seat with lift-up armrest
(which deactivates control functions when raised)• Armrest mounted, responsive dual axis hydraulic controllers• Bubble level sight level mounted on console
• Single foot pedal control• Ducted air through automotive-style
directional vents• Sliding right side, rear
windows and swing-uproof window
• Corner-post-mounted,backlit gauges
• Dashless design• Large, sweeping electric wipers
Access is the name of the game
Fold-up steps and hand rails at sixpoints and non-slip surface strips on the
carrier’s deck provide the ultimate inmachine access.
Deflector rollersprevent prematurewire rope wearwhen working atlow boom angles.
The large rear grille door (above)and swing-out engine hood providequick and easy access for routineservice and maintenance.
Standard load hoist system consists of a mainwinch with two-speed motor and automaticbrake for power up/down mode of operation.
A bi-directional hydraulic motor, driven througha planetary reduction unit provides precisesmooth load control with minimal rpm’s.
Asynchronous, parallel double-over grooveddrums minimize rope harmonic motion,improving spooling and increasing ropeservice life. A two-speed auxiliary winchis an available option.

�������READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATOR’S AND SAFETY MANUALS AND THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONSAND RATED LIFTING CAPACITIES BEFORE OPERATING CRANE. OPERATION WHICH DOES NOT FOLLOWTHESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSGENERAL:1. Rated lifting capacities in pounds as shown on lift charts
pertain to this crane as originally manufactured andnormally equipped. Modifications to the crane or use ofoptional equipment other than that specified can result ina reduction of capacity.
2. Construction equipment can be dangerous if improperlyoperated or maintained. Operation and maintenance ofthis crane must be in compliance with the information inthe Operator’s, Parts, and Safety Manuals supplied withthis crane. If these manuals are missing, orderreplacements through the distributor.
3. The operator and other personnel associated with thiscrane shall read and fully understand the latestapplicable American National Standards ASME B30.5safety standards for cranes.
4. The rated lifting capacities are based on crane standinglevel on firm supporting surface.
SET UP:1. The crane shall be leveled on a firm supporting surface.
Depending on the nature of the supporting surface, it maybe necessary to have structural supports under theoutrigger pontoons or tires to spread the load to a largerbearing surface.
2. When making lifts on outriggers, all tires must be free ofsupporting surface. All outrigger beams must beextended to the same length; fully retracted, intermediateextended, or fully extended.
3. When operating on tires over the side, do not exceed 75�maximum boom angle. Loss of backward stability willoccur causing a backward tipping condition.
4. When making lifts on tires, they must be inflated to therecommended pressure. (See Operation note 20 andTire Inflation.)
5. For required parts of line, see Wire Rope Capacity andWinch Performance.
6. Before setting up on intermediate outriggers, retractedoutriggers, or tires, refer to Working Range Diagrams andrated lifting capacities to determine allowable craneconfigurations.
OPERATION:1. Rated lifting capacities at rated radii shall not be
exceeded. Do not tip the crane to determine allowableloads. For concrete bucket operation, weight of bucketand load shall not exceed 80% of rated lifting capacities.For clamshell bucket operation, weight of bucket andbucket contents is restricted to a maximum weight of6,000 pounds or 80% of rated lifting capacity, whicheveris less. For magnet operation, weight of magnet and loadis restricted to a maximum weight of 6,000 pounds or80% of rated lifting capacity, whichever is less. Forclamshell and magnet operation, maximum boom lengthis restricted to 50 feet and the boom angle is restricted toa minimum of 35 degrees. Lifts with any fly erected areprohibited for both clam and magnet operation.
2. Rated lifting capacities shown on fully extended outriggersdo not exceed 85% of the tipping loads. Rated liftingcapacities shown on intermediate extended or fullyretracted outriggers are determined by the formula, ratedload = (tipping load – 0.1 X load factor) / 1.25. Rated liftingcapacities shown on tires do not exceed 75% of the tippingloads. Tipping loads are determined by SAE crane stabilitytest code J–765.
3. Rated lifting capacities in the shaded areas are based onstructural strength or hydraulic limitations and have beentested to meet minimum requirements of SAE J–1063cantilevered boom crane structures–method of test.Rated lifting capacities in the non–shaded areas are basedon stability ratings. Some capacities are limited by amaximum obtainable 78� boom angle.
4. Rated lifting capacities include the weight of hookball/block, slings, bucket, magnet and auxiliary liftingdevices. Their weights must be subtracted from the listedrated capacity to obtain the net load that can be lifted.Rated lifting capacities include the deduct for either flystowed on the base of the boom. For deducts of either flyerected, but not used, see Capacity Deductions ForAuxiliary Load Handling Equipment.
5. Rated lifting capacities are based on freely suspendedloads. No attempt shall be made to move a loadhorizontally on the ground in any direction.
6. Rated lifting capacities are for lift crane service only.7. Do not operate at radii or boom lengths (minimum or
maximum) where capacities are not listed. At thesepositions, the crane can tip or cause boom failure.
– 3 – RTC–8040 Series II
8. The maximum loads that can be telescoped are notdefinable because of variation in loadings and cranemaintenance, but it is permissible to attempt retraction andextension within the limits of the applicable load ratingchart.
9. For main boom capacities when either boom length orradius or both are between values listed, proceed asfollows:a. For boom lengths not listed, use rating for next longer
boom length or next shorter boom length, whicheveris smaller.
b. For load radii not listed, use rating for next larger radius.
10. The user shall operate at reduced ratings to allow foradverse job conditions, such as: soft or uneven ground,out of level conditions, wind, side loads, pendulum action,jerking or sudden stopping of loads, hazardousconditions, experience of personnel, traveling with loads,electrical wires, etc. Side load on boom or fly isdangerous and shall be avoided.
11. Rated lifting capacities do not account for wind onsuspended load or boom. Rated capacities and boomlength shall be appropriately reduced as wind velocityapproaches 20 mph.
12. When making lifts with auxiliary head machinery, theeffective length of the boom increases by 2 feet.
13. Power sections of boom must be extended in accordancewith boom mode “A” or “B”. In boom mode “B” all powersections must be extended or retracted equally.
14. The least stable rated working area depends on theconfiguration of the crane set up.
15. Rated lifting capacities are based on correct reeving.Deduction must be made for excessive reeving. Anyreeving over minimum required (see Wire RopeCapacity) is considered excessive and must beaccounted for when making lifts. Use Working RangeDiagram to estimate the extra feet of rope then deduct 1lb. for each extra foot of wire rope before attempting to lifta load.
16. The loaded boom angle combined with the boom lengthgive only an approximation of the operating radius. Theboom angle, before loading, should be greater to accountfor deflection. For main boom capacities, the loadedboom angle is for reference only. For fly capacities, theload radius is for reference only.
17. For fly capacities with main boom length less than 105 ft.and greater than 80 ft., the rated loads are determined bythe boom angle using the 105 ft. boom and fly chart. Forangles not shown use the next lower boom angle todetermine the rated capacity.
18. For fly capacites with main boom length less than 80 ft.the rated loads are determined by the boom angle onlyusing the 80 ft. boom and fly chart. For angles not shown,use the next lower boom angle to determine the ratedcapacity.
19. The 33 ft. boom length structural capacities are based onboom fully retracted. If the boom is not fully retracted, donot exceed capacities shown for the 40 ft. boom length.
20. Rated lifting capacities on tires depend on tire capacity,condition of tires, and tire air pressure. On tire capacitiesrequire lifting from main boom head only on a smooth andlevel surface. Pick and carry operations are restricted tospeed of 2.5 mph and creep . The boom must becentered over the front of the crane with two–positiontravel swing lock engaged and the load must berestrained from swinging. Lifts with any fly erected ontires are prohibited. For correct tire pressure, see TireInflation.
DEFINITIONS:1. Load Radius: Horizontal distance from a projection of the
axis of rotation to the supporting surface, before loading,to the center of the vertical hoist line or tackle with loadapplied.
2. Loaded Boom Angle: � ° The angle between the boombase section and horizontal with freely suspended load atthe rated radius.
3. Working Area: Area measured in a circular arc about thecenter line of rotation as shown on the Working AreaDiagram.
4. Freely Suspended Load: Load hanging free with nodirect external force applied except by the hoist line.
5. Side Load: Horizontal side force applied to the lifted loadeither on the ground or in the air.
6. No Load Stability Limit: The radius or boom anglebeyond which it is not permitted to position the boombecause the crane can overturn without any load on thehook.
7. Load Factor: Load applied at the boom tip which givesthe same moment effect as the boom mass.
