Foton Truck-Mounted Crane System

Modular Lifting Solutions for Light & Medium-Duty Commercial Chassis

1. System Overview

The Foton truck-mounted crane series comprises four standardized models engineered for rapid integration onto Foton BJ, Auman, and custom flatbed platforms. Designed for utility, logistics, and municipal applications in demanding environments (including North and Sub-Saharan Africa), the system balances structural efficiency, hydraulic responsiveness, and minimal chassis intrusion.

All models comply with CE machinery directives and are validated for operation in ambient temperatures from -20°C to +55°C.

2. Technical Configuration Matrix

Design Note:
– Telescopic variants (SQxSK2Q) prioritize reach and line-of-sight precision.
– Knuckle variants (SQxZKx) enable obstacle negotiation and confined-space operation via multi-joint articulation.

3. Integration Specifications

• Mounting Interface: Bolt-on base plate compatible with Foton standard frame rail spacing (U-section 280–320 mm).

• Hydraulic Supply: Requires PTO-driven gear pump (min. flow: 25 L/min @ 18 MPa). Standard QH50 or equivalent PTO recommended.

• Control System: Manual proportional levers (dual-axis) with mechanical feedback; optional electro-hydraulic remote available.

• Protection: All pivot pins hardened (HRC 50+); cylinder rods chrome-plated; structural welds ISO 5817 Class B.

4. Operational Advantages in African Contexts

• Dust Mitigation: Sealed rotary joint with labyrinth seal design prevents ingress in high-particulate environments (e.g., Algerian Sahara, Zambian copper belt).

• Thermal Stability: Hydraulic hoses rated to SAE 100R16, operational up to 120°C fluid temperature.

• Corrosion Resistance: Primer: zinc phosphate; Topcoat: polyurethane (≥80 μm total DFT).

• Maintenance Access: Grease fittings grouped at base; no disassembly required for daily lubrication.

5. Lifecycle Support (Algeria / Zambia / Tanzania)

• Warranty: 12 months on structure, 6 months on dynamic components (seals, hoses, valves).

• Spare Parts Availability:

• Algeria: Oran depot – clutch kits, control valves, pin sets (lead time: 72h)

• Zambia: Ndola service hub – hydraulic seals, boom bushings

• Tanzania: Dar es Salaam warehouse – full gasket kits, pressure relief valves

• Documentation: English technical manual, torque specs, hydraulic schematic, CE declaration included.

6. Ordering Protocol

To initiate procurement:

1. Provide host vehicle model (e.g., Foton BJ1061 4x2, Auman EST 6x4)

2. Specify operating region and primary use case (e.g., telecom pole installation in Tanzania)
