Terex Rough Terrain Crane A300 to RC45: what the number in the name actually means, 96.9 to 223.7 kW, 19.3 to 277 t weight
Terex runs its rough terrain cranes in two parallel lines with different numbering logic: the A-Series (A300 to A600) and the RC-Series (RC35 to RC45). In each case the number gives a rough capacity class in tons – not an exact rating. According to manufacturer spec sheets, the A400 lifts a maximum of about 35 tonnes, the A600 about 60 tonnes, and the RC45 about 44 tonnes, each figure only achievable at the shortest boom and widest outrigger spread.

The "Terex Rough Terrain Crane" bucket here groups 35 live-listed models across both lines. Among 22 models with recorded weight, operating weight starts at 19.3 tonnes and up; engine power across 35 models spans 96 to 223 kW.
Among 34 models with recorded torque, values run from 356 to 1,355 Nm; displacement reaches up to 8,300 cm³, and cylinder count among 12 models spans 4 to 6.
Buying used, beyond operating hours, focus on the condition and seal tightness of the boom telescoping cylinders, play in the outriggers, a function test of all four outrigger legs, and the condition of the wire rope drum. Models such as A300, A400, A600, RC35 and RC45 appear across the listed inventory.
One thing every buyer should keep in mind: actual rated capacity always depends on radius and outrigger spread, and isn't found in the model name – only in that crane's load chart.
