800 kg Pickup Crane SQ08ZA3

What the 800 kg SQ08ZA3 is built for

The SQ08ZA3 is the lightest model in our pickup range. It bolts to the bed of a pickup or light truck and sits on a 660 × 465 mm base. It suits short stops: loading generators, pumps, engines, gas cylinders, bagged materials and tool boxes, roadside and farm service work, and small deliveries where no forklift is available. Folded, it stands 1,614 mm tall; raised to 75°, the boom clears high tailgates and stacked cargo.

Set the outriggers before every lift so the load does not sit on the vehicle’s own suspension and tyres. Park on firm, level ground and respect each figure below. If you need more reach, compare it with the SQ08ZA3+1, which adds a manual extension and reaches 4.15 m.

The outriggers are the same as on the SQ08ZA3+1: two legs with a span of 1,464–3,020 mm and a height adjustable from 640 to 1,020 mm.

What the 800 kg SQ08ZA3+1 is built for

The SQ08ZA3+1 is sized for pickups and light trucks. It bolts to the bed of the pickup, and its two outrigger legs adjust from 1,464 to 3,020 mm in span and from 640 to 1,020 mm in height to steady the vehicle while the crane lifts. The boom extends in stages from 1.34 m to 4.15 m, so you can reach from the bed to the ground beside the vehicle. Typical jobs are loading generators, pumps, engines, gas cylinders, bagged materials and tool boxes, roadside and farm service work, and small deliveries where no forklift is available. Raised to 75°, the hook reaches about 5.7 m above the crane base.

Rated capacity always depends on radius. At 3.23 m the SQ08ZA3+1 lifts 300 kg, so check the weight of your heaviest regular load at the distance you need before you order. If you do not need the extra reach of the manual extension, compare it with the SQ08ZA3 without manual extension.
