BODY REINFORCEMENT
The truck body must be reinforced and outriggers provided to withstand the combined loads resulting
from lifting and the weight of the crane and boom.
The maximum combined overturning moment for the HT55KX is 55,000 ft. lbs.
The maximum vertical load for the HT55-25' VLC is 10,650 lbs.
CRANE MOUNTING
The crane base plate or mounting pedestal must be bolted to the body reinforcing plate with eight [8]
grade five (5) bolts of 1" dia. with either coarse or fine threads, torqued to 587 foot pounds. A 6" dia.
hose clearance hole must be cut in this plate to allow the hoses to swing and coil freely.
ROTATION POSITIONING
The HT cranes are shipped with the boom rotated as shown on drawing 20051. It can be in any
position that pleases the user since the boom can always reach the storage and travel position by
rotating one way or the other.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
The crane is furnished with a pressure, return and a case drain hoses that come down through the
center of the housing. The pressure and return hoses connect to two hydraulic swivels to prevent
damage while rotating the crane right and left.
Arrange the pressure & return hoses in the compartment below the crane so that they are
connected in a relaxed position while the crane is at the midpoint of the 400 degree rotation range --
regardless of the final position of the boom during storage/travel. See installation pages 22913 for
more information on hose connections.
NOTE: If you purchased one of Venturo's hydraulic packages (P/N 19294-X.XXX), you will have
received our pressure gauge kit. This kit includes a gauge, hose and bulkhead "T" fitting and should
be installed on the main pressure hose.
