June 16, 2016 - Guay Inc., Quebec, Canada, has added a new Terex Crossover 8000 boom-truck crane, mounted on a Peterbilt truck chassis, to its fleet. The Crossover 8000 gives Guay a cost-effective lifting solution for the company’s growing residential and commercial business sector.

 

The crane has an 80-ton rated capacity, a 126-ft. maximum boom length and a tip height with jib of 190 ft. Guay selected the Terex Crossover 8000 because of the unit’s versatility and ability to travel over-the-road while carrying all its counterweight and support equipment.

 

“The Terex Crossover 8000 is a great addition to our fleet,” says Jean-Louis Lapointe, director of equipment. “With a few modifications to the chassis, we’re able to meet DOT regulations while carrying counterweight, rigging equipment, pads, and tools. We’ve been able to significantly reduce set-up time and transportation costs since we do not have to use an additional truck to move extra components.”

The truck chassis incorporates a modified axle configuration, tool boxes and hook block support mounted between the crane frame and a rack on the rear of the machine for pads.

 

Guay is already keeping its new boom-truck crane busy in the Montreal area. By choosing a crane that fits a standard truck frame, Guay’s crews can travel from jobsite to jobsite at 65 mph with air-ride comfort.
