American 5510

The American 5510 is a heavy-duty lattice boom truck crane with a robust design, capable of handling large-scale lifting tasks with a maximum capacity of 62.5 tons. This crane is engineered for versatility and performance, offering several jib options to accommodate different job site requirements. It is particularly useful in construction, infrastructure development, and industrial applications where lifting heavy loads at extended distances is essential.

Boom and Jib Specifications:

The main boom of the American 5510 can be configured to a minimum length of 80 feet, and when extended with jibs, it enhances the crane’s ability to handle long-reach applications. The crane supports a 7HL Jib, which offers several offset angles and lengths to maximize operational flexibility.

Jib Length Options:

• 30 feet
• 40 feet
• 50 feet

Maximum Jib Capacity:

• At 0 to 6 feet offset, the crane can handle a load of 16,000 lbs for both the 9-foot and 12-foot jib.
• For longer jib lengths of 30 feet, the crane still manages loads up to 16,000 lbs, while at the maximum 50-foot jib length, it supports 11,000 lbs.

The effective weight of the jib at the boom point varies based on the length:

• 1,400 lbs for a 30-foot jib
• 1,950 lbs for a 40-foot jib
• 2,630 lbs for a 50-foot jib

These jib configurations provide the crane with the ability to perform operations at various heights and working radii, offering significant adaptability for lifting materials at different angles and distances.
