Background: A Philippine customer previously purchased 20-ton class truck cranes from Henan Runli Automobile Co., Ltd. While these large machines offered excellent lifting capacity, they proved too big and less maneuverable for narrow streets, small civil works sites, and urban maintenance projects.
The New Requirement: The customer needed a smaller body size with no compromise on load capacity – a machine that can enter tight spaces but still handle heavy lifting and transport.
The Custom Solution: Henan Runli designed and built a tailor-made 8-ton self-loading truck crane based on a HOWO 10-wheel chassis.
| Feature | Advantages |
| Strong base and compact body size HOWO chassis 5100mm wheelbase, 10 wheels | Easy to maneuver in narrow streets, small workshops, and confined job sites. |
| Boom crane 8-ton lifting capacity | boom length 18.6meters, Heavy-duty performance despite the smaller frame. |
| High jack outriggers | Support stable lifting performance, and assist truck body tilting. |
| Rear spring-assist ladder | Allows excavators and manlifts to load/unload more easily and safely – reduces slope angle and prevents tipping. |
| The bottom support beams of the cargo box adopt a frame structure | Suitable for heavy-duty transportation, with a lower center of gravity for better maneuverability. |
The customer already owns 20-ton cranes for large projects.
This 8-ton model is not a downgrade – it is an addition to their fleet for flexible, small-site operations.
Henan Runli optimized the wheelbase, outrigger span, and ladder angle based on the customer’s real-world feedback.
