Dongfeng KR Truck With XCMG 360 Degree GSQZ160 8Ton Folding Boom Crane

The Dongfeng KR truck mounted with the XCMG GSQZ160 8-Ton Folding Boom Crane (also known as a knuckle boom crane) is a common and highly functional specialized vehicle configuration, often sold by manufacturers like Chengli Special Automobile Co., Ltd

Lifting: The crane can load and unload the vehicle itself, making it a self-sufficient unit on a job site.

Transportation: The flatbed cargo box behind the cab is used to transport materials (e.g., steel, equipment, construction elements) after they have been lifted.

Applications: The truck is widely used in construction, logistics, utility work (e.g., pole setting, transformer installation), and general equipment handling. The knuckle boom's ability to fold and articulate makes it excellent for working in confined spaces compared to a straight boom crane.

Dongfeng KR Truck: This is the base vehicle, referring to the Dongfeng KR series of medium to heavy-duty truck chassis. This chassis provides the engine, cab, and frame structure necessary to mount the crane and carry cargo.

XCMG 360 Degree: XCMG (Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group) is one of the largest construction machinery manufacturers in the world. The "360 Degree" refers to the crane's ability to fully rotate on its base, giving it a wide working area.

GSQZ160: This is the model designation for the XCMG crane unit. The "GSQZ" series (or similar models like SQ8ZK3Q) generally refers to their knuckle boom (folding arm) truck-mounted cranes.

A key reference suggests the XCMG GSQZ160.4 Knuckle Boom Truck-mounted Crane has a Maximum Rated Lifting Capacity of 8,000 kg and a Maximum Lifting Torque of 167kN⋅m.

8 Ton: This specifies the maximum lifting capacity of the crane, which is 8,000 kg or 8 metric tons.

Folding Boom Crane: This specifies the type of crane. Also known as a knuckle boom crane, it has multiple hydraulic joints (like a human finger) that allow it to fold into a compact shape when not in use and maneuver around obstacles in tight spaces.
