American 5510 Load Chart PDF + Specifications

The American 5510 is a robust and high-capacity lattice boom truck crane designed to perform under the most challenging lifting conditions. With a maximum rated lifting capacity of 62.5 tons, it serves as a dependable solution for large-scale construction projects, infrastructure development, and industrial lifting tasks that require strength, extended reach, and versatility.

At the core of its design is a main boom with a minimum length of 80 feet, constructed using high-strength lattice sections that offer both durability and reduced weight for optimal lifting efficiency. The crane can be configured with optional 7HL jibs, allowing the operator to increase the working radius and height as needed. These jib extensions make the 5510 suitable for lifting loads at various elevations and angles, especially in tight or difficult-to-reach spaces.

The jib configurations enhance the crane’s operational flexibility, with three main length options available: 30 feet, 40 feet, and 50 feet. These jibs are designed to provide stable performance without compromising on capacity. At 0 to 6 feet offset, the crane can handle up to 16,000 lbs on the jib for both 9-foot and 12-foot sections, while even at the maximum jib extension of 50 feet, it still supports a solid 11,000 lbs. This allows the crane to maintain high lifting performance even when operating at extended reaches.

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

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

This information is essential for accurate load chart calculations and helps ensure safe lifting operations under different configurations.

The American 5510’s design supports high adaptability across job sites. Whether lifting structural steel on a high-rise, installing bridge components, or handling precast elements in industrial plants, this crane delivers the performance needed. Its compatibility with multiple jib offsets provides increased flexibility, allowing operators to adjust the boom-and-jib setup for different lifting geometries and obstructions.

In summary, the American 5510 is a versatile and powerful lattice boom truck crane capable of handling heavy-duty lifts up to 62.5 tons, with a combination of boom reach, jib extensions, and lifting strength that make it ideal for a wide variety of complex job site applications. Its proven mechanical design and lifting adaptability ensure efficient performance wherever reach, load, and reliability matter most.
