What sort of capacity does that hiab have?

[Mike Hill]

Over the road,like a prancing "Arbor-Stallion"

 

Not a big hi-ab,lifts about 6 tonn close in maybe?

[AHPP]

As far as I can tell, knuckleboom sizes are done in tonne metres. So if that blue one lifts 6 tonnes at 3 metres, it'd be an 18 tonne metre crane. On another thread a while ago you said you'd have used a 100 tonne hiab for something. Did you mean 100 tonne metre?

 

Internet not super clear on this subject. What's the common way people size and a describe them?

Not sure. 3 meters would be inside the outriggers?

 

I am working with a whopper hiab on Tuesday so will get the skinny on it.

A 100t crane will lift 100t @1m from the centre of the boom.

Curious, is the truck and hiab more than a 100t?

Doesn't have to be. They can lift far more than what they weigh close in with outriggers and counterweight.

Not any pics of the actual job, just chipping a load of brush for a mate after the 9to5, but did have some visitors while chipping😁

Think of a 100kg bloke deadlifting 200kg Mick.

It’s the same principle, sort of.
