The company STMO from Sartrouville (Paris) owns this interesting Scania P124G-420 in 8x2*6 layout.

STMO is a machinery moving company, that is why this Scania is equiped with a heavy Heila crane. It is a HLR 170-5RS, a crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 150 ton/mtr.

The crane extends 5x hydraulically and is mounted at the center of the truck, it can’t transport any load.

Only 1 axle is driven, this isn’t a problem as the truck is mostly used in buildings. The crane is laying in transportposition here, it cannot fold together. The steering rear axle and the relatively short wheelbase give a good manoeuvrability in buildings.

The 6 outriggers provide good stability, also to the rear. At the same time some ballast above the front outriggers provide more stability when working to the rear.

At this side of the crane there is a seat for the crane-driver. The own weight of the truck is 31,6 tonnes.

A big oiltank is mounted above the front outriggers, below the crane boom we see the heavy winch.

A very nice crane truck suits its purpose.

The lifting table of this crane that can lift 11 tonnes at a distance of 11,18 meters !

Many thanks to STMO for co-orporation
