The register lists an engine of 15,928 cm³ producing 390 kW. Against a kerb weight of 60,000 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 72,000 kg, around 12,000 kg of payload remains for the crane superstructure and its equipment. The vehicle is 15,200 mm long and 3,000 mm wide.
Vehicles of this size are carrier chassis for mobile cranes, where the chassis itself already accounts for a substantial share of the total weight so that it can safely carry the mounted crane while travelling. To use public roads, such vehicles depend on special transport permits and correspondingly trained drivers with crane-operating qualifications, and the journey itself is usually escorted by pilot vehicles.
When buying a used crane carrier of this size, the condition of the hydraulic system for the boom and outriggers, the function of the crane controls and the load capacity of the axles under heavy axle loads matter most. Add to that a check of the braking system under full load, corrosion on the frame and boom parts, and the availability of spare parts through the crane manufacturer.
