First Canadian Crossover 8000

Ontario based Canadian Professional Crane (CP Crane) has taken delivery of the first 80 ton/72.5 tonne Terex Crossover 8000 boom truck in Canada. The crane was supplied through Terex distributor Cropac Equipment.

Launched at Conexpo earlier this year, the 80 ton Crossover 8000 features a four-section 38 metre main boom either a 9.8 metre fixed length or 10 to 17 metre swingaway extension, with zero, 15 or 30-degree offsets. With a maximum tip height of 57.6 metres.

Mounted on a 2014 Freightliner 114SD chassis, the Crossover 8000 can travel with full counterweight up to speeds of 70mph. Other features include an X-pattern outrigger design, a quick-reeving five-sheave hook block and an operator’s cab which can tilt up to 18 degrees.

Aram Malek of CP Crane, said: “Thanks to the crane’s capacity and boom length, CP Crane is able to take on more jobs. The additional capacity and the compact footprint allows us to lift massive loads in tight areas, giving us an edge over our competitors. And, having one operator on the job saves us a considerable amount of expense we would otherwise have to incur when using a crane that can handle this amount of weight.”
