Sisu R500 - Teollisuusmuutot
I saw this new Sisu of Teollisuusmuutot from Helsinki at a parking spot beside the highway.
It is a fine Sisu R500 in 10x4 version. It is equiped with a 13-liter 6 cylinder Renault engine that delivers 500 hp.

A Fassi F1500AXP.28 has been mounted behind the cab, this means it is a 8x hydraulic extending version with an outreach of 19,4 meter. The lifting capacity at this outreach is still 4,465 ton. Closer to the crane, for instance at 9,3 meters a load of 10,8 tonnes can be lifted. The maximum load is 30 tonnes.

The Fassi 1500 has been equiped with the new heavy Fassi jib, the L816 wit JDP (Jib Dual Power). During normal usage this jib gives an outreach of 31,3 meters with a capacity of 1260 kg. When the base crane has been extended completely (in height, not outreach) the jib can lift a maximum loaf of 6,5 tonnes. When the crane is not fully extended, e.g. only up to 6 extensions, the lifting capacity of the jib is higher. The maximum load in this situation increases to 8 tonnes that can be lifted to a height of about 20 meters.

The jib wasn't mounted here. The heavy winch is visible here.

This Sisu already has a factory made support frame on it, from the so called Sisu Crane series. The chassis has got a support frame that runs from the back all the way to the front. The own weight of this truck with the crane is about 34 tonnes, this gives a loading capacity in Finland of about 3,5 tonnes.

The Sisu crane chassis also goes to the front, but Sisu only delivers up to 110 t/m, so this chassis was extra reinforced by the builder (Grutech Oy). After that they mounted support legs to the front so that the crane can also be used to the front with it's full capacity.
