What the 8-Ton Crane Does in a Yard

Yard and plant work rarely needs the longest boom; it needs a crane that can lift a skid, a pump or a steel section, move it 5-12 m, and still carry the part on the same truck. This Dongfeng 4X2 pairs an 8-ton hydraulic straight boom with a steel cargo bed, so one vehicle does the pick, the travel and the set-down without a second flatbed.

The boom slews 360 degrees continuously on hydraulic drive, and the H plus vertical outriggers with bi-directional locks spread the load before the hook takes weight. An integrated winch and telescopic hook handle the lift; a sub-hook is available for two-part picks. The two-stage gear pump, relief and counterbalance valves and oil cooler keep hydraulic temperature stable through repeated cycles, while the load moment limiter, anti two-block, boom-length indicator and audible alarm cover the safety side.

The crane runs from a gearbox PTO with the engine idling, which keeps fuel use and noise low between lifts. Specify the boom configuration and outrigger spread against the actual footprint: a 5 m minimum radius is useful inside a workshop, but a 12 m reach needs clear ground and a load-chart check at every radius. Wireless remote, rear extensions, alloy bed and sub-hook are factory options; GB announcement and tax-exemption documents come with the chassis, and the upfit carries a two-year warranty with lifetime parts support.

Before You Order

• Check the load chart at the radius you will actually use, not only at the 8-ton rating.
• Confirm ground bearing pressure where the outriggers will sit; yard slabs and backfilled areas behave differently.
• Decide whether the cargo bed must take the same load as the crane, or only the rigging.
• Ask for the GB announcement and tax-exemption documents required at your port.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 8-ton rating mean at 12 m radius?
The 8-ton figure is the maximum hook load near the crane, not at full reach. Capacity falls as radius increases; always read the load chart for the radius and configuration you plan to use.

Can the crane lift with the truck engine off?
No. The crane is PTO-driven and works with the engine idling. The outriggers and hydraulic system need the engine running.

Is a wireless remote available?
Yes, wireless remote is a factory option, along with rear extensions, an alloy bed and a sub-hook for two-part lifts.
