INTRODUCTION
A truck chassis and hydraulically operated crane
(loader) are advanced technical products. When these
products are combined into one efficient tool, it is
important that the installation of the crane on the
chassis, reinforcement of the chassis, and choice of
pump and hydraulic connections be performed in a
professional and correct manner.
Installation of the crane (loader), and reinforcement of
the chassis, must be performed in accordance with
the instructions of the carrier vehicle manufacturer
and the information provided in this Installation
Manual. The crane must always be installed on the
chassis with the suspension traverse pointing
forward. This applies to rear mounted cranes also.

WARNING
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
PROVIDED BY THE VEHICLE AND CRANE
MANUFACTURER CAN RESULT IN EQUIPMENT
FAILURE, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH.
WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE IMT CRANE
OPERATORS SAFETY MANUAL AND ALL OTHER

MOUNTING BOLTS INFORMATION

MOUNTING FITTINGS-TYPE A
Use 20mm mounting bolts, bracketed to the frame
with M14 bolts, 4 places. See Fig. 5.

The mounting bolts are manufactured from heat

treated steel of high quality. They MUST NOT be bent
or heated. The threads have been rolled and must not
be lengthened by means of cutting. Doing so will
weaken the bolt. Nuts must never be secured by
means of tack welding.

MOUNTING FITTINGS-TYPE B
A combination of types C and D. The single bolt fitting
is fastened using M14 bolts, 6 places. The twin bolt
fitting has a cross bar under the chassis. The single
bolt fitting is not raised above the frame as mentioned
below, but the crane must rest on the frame.

The mounting fittings are bolted onto the chassis

frame via driven bolt connections. Special mounting
bolts, on which the smooth part of the shaft is able to
reach almost through the mounting fitting and the
chassis, must be used. Drilling diameter is 13.8mm.
Place a hard washer (HB 200) under the head of the
bolt and the nut.

MOUNTING FITTINGS-TYPE C
See Fig. 6 and 7. Use 7/8" or 30mm mounting bolts,
fastened using M14 bolts, 6 places. The mounting
fitting is raised until there is a distance of
approximately 0.2" (5mm) between the loader and the
frame. See Fig. 7.
MOUNTING FITTINGS-TYPE D
See Fig. 8. Use 7/8" or 30mm mounting bolts, 2
places, and a cross bar under the chassis.
The height of the spacer inside the side member of
the chassis must be carefully adjusted to fit between
the flanges, and the four corners rounded 0.2"R (R5).
You must prevent the spacer from turning by locking
it to the subframe using a piece of flat iron. The flat
iron must not be welded onto the chassis. The edges
of the cross bar towards the chassis are rounded 0.2"
(R5) to prevent wear and tear on the chassis.
Fastening must take place in stages in order for the
cross bars to press evenly against the lower side of
the side member.

WELDING OF STOP
To prevent the loader from moving on the chassis,
stops (1) are welded on, when the loader has been
mounted on the chassis. The position of the stops are
shown in Fig. 10 and 11.
When the mounting bolts have been tightened, the
square washers are tack welded to the suspension
traverse and the mounting pockets of the base, not to
the base itself.

PARTS-10

CHASSIS REINFORCEMENT
In most cases it is necessary to reinforce the chassis
so that it can sustain the strain applied by the crane.
The strain from the crane represents a bending
moment on the chassis approximately corresponding
to the load moment of the crane, plus 15%. Thus, a
necessary reinforcement is calculated on that basis.
The dimensions of the chassis frame being taken into
consideration.
It is a general rule for all subframes that if the crane
is fastened against the frame, you must place a wear
plate as shown in Fig. 13. If the crane is raised until it
is free of the frame, as shown in Fig. 7, the wear plate
is not needed.
Fig. 12

To maintain the flexibility of the chassis, the

subframe should be fastened to one end only, other
fastenings must be flexible. Where great demands are
made to the strength, the subframe and the chassis
could be bolted together with fixed strap-plates in the
total length of the frame.
The subframe for crane, body hoist, tipping gear, and
for coupling for semi-trailer, etc., must always be in
one piece, and preferably with the same crosssection in the whole length.
If the cross-sections of the subframe are different,
the crossing must be smooth, see Fig. 12, and the
welding must be done very carefully, and all the way
through.

INSTALLATION WITHOUT CHASSIS

REINFORCEMENT
If no reinforcement of the chassis is necessary, the
crane may be mounted as shown in Fig. 13, 14 and
15.
Fig. 13.
The crane must never rest directly on the chassis
frame, but should be placed on a wear plate of .39"
(10mm) flat iron. The length (L) should be 7.87"
(200mm) longer than the distance between the
crane's mounting bolts. The width (B) equals the width
of the side member less .59" (15mm). When welding,
avoid damage to the edges of the side member.
This mounting method is only recommended for small
cranes, and you must be sure that welding on the
chassis frame is accepted by the authorities and the
truck manufacturer.

PARTS-12

Fig. 14.
If welding is not allowed, wear plate can be made as
shown. The length (L) equals the distance between
the mounting bolts, plus 7.87" (200mm). For cranes
up to 7 ton-meters, an .31" (8mm) plate is used. For
larger cranes the plate should be .39" (10mm) thick. It
is often necessary to make cutouts in the plate to
accomodate bolts, struts, etc., on the chassis.
Fig. 15.
If the crane has to be raised above the chassis
because of gear box, etc., the crane is mounted on a
short subframe as shown in Fig. 15. For cranes up to
10 ton-meters, a box section of .31" (8mm) thick
material is used. For cranes of 10 ton-meters or more,
the thickness of material must be .39" (10mm). The
sections are tapered 30 at both ends, and two Usections - a bit lower than the box section and of .24"
(6mm) thick material - are welded between them. The
lower edges of the subframe should be rounded .2"R
(R5) to prevent wear and tear on the chassis.

INSTALLATION BEHIND CAB

The drawing below shows mounting of subframe
fastened to the chassis by means of strap-plates in
front and flexible fastenings at the rear. The subframe
is made of U-sections, and between these, traverse
U-sectons, which are placed a bit lower and have a
thickness of material of .24" (6mm), are welded. A Usection is placed as close as possible to each
mounting bolt. From the crane and to the rear, the Usections are placed at a distance of 78.7" (2m)
maximum. From the rear mounting bolt and to the
rear, the subframe is fastened by means of a strapplate (see Fig. 16) at a distance of approximately
31.5" (0.8m), and then by means of a flexible
fastening (see Fig. 17) at a distance of 47.24" (1.2m)
maximum to the rear, as shown on the drawing. If the
distance from the front mounting bolt to the front edge
of the subframe is maore than 7.87" (200mm), you
should mount a strap-plate.

FRONT MOUNTED CRANE PLUS

TIPPING GEAR
The subframe of the tipping gear must be safely
fastened to the chassis around the rear bearing.
Therefore, the subframe must be fastened from the
rear to the spring suspension of the rear axle by
means of strap-plates (See Fig. 16) and further on by
means of flexible fastenings.
The mounting fittings of the crane must not be welded
onto the subframe. If large demands are made of the
reinforcement of the chassis, and the truck is mainly
used on even ground, strap-plates can be used along
the entire length, and mounting fittings can be welded
onto the subframe.

REAR MOUNTED CRANE

The subframe should be made of box sections to

ensure maximum stability when driving, and should
be made as described in the previous paragraph.
Traverse U-sections are welded between the box
sections at a mutual distance of 78.74" (2m)
maximum, though there must be a U-section by each
mounting bolt. If the loader is rear mounted the
stabilizer legs must face backwards. To the front
spring suspension of the rear axle the subframe must
be fastened to the frame by means of fixed strapplates. In front of this section flexible fastenings
should be used.

on the chassis is accepted by the authorities and the
truck manufacturer.
The drawing shows side member with flat iron
reinforcement welded on. In front the flat iron is
carried as far ahead as possible and tapered 30. On
the upper side of the side member the flat iron is
carried as far back as possible and on the lower side
to the rear spring suspension. The flat iron should be
about .59" (15mm) narrower than the side member
and is placed .39" (10mm) from the inner edge of the
side member. The welding is made as shown displaced on the inner side - and damage to the inner
edges of the side member should be avoided. On top
of the flat iron strip, a wear plate of .31" (8mm) flat
iron is placed as shown.

STABILITY CALCULATION
When a crane is mounted on a truck, it is necessary
to check the stability against overturning.
Note that the rules concerning installation of truck
mounted cranes may vary from one country to
another, and that this installation manual should be
regarded as a guide only. You should check the local
rules and take those into consideration. The truck
manufacturers often have special instructions for
mounting of extra equipment which must be complied
with, if the guarantee is to apply.
CRANE MOUNTED BEHIND CAB
Fig. 1 shows a truck with crane on which the outrigger
legs are extended. The supporting area is now formed
by the letters Q-R-S-T-U-V. If the load (PL) is swung
outside this area, the truck will be in danger of tilting.
Normally, this risk will be greatest when the boom is
in the shown position, at a right angle to line m
The stabilizing moment (MS)
can be determined as follows if the center of gravity
(G2) of the crane lies within the tilting line m:
MS = (PF x LF) + (PR x LR) + )G1 x LC) + (G2 (LC - H2))
If G2 lies outside the tilting line the last term of the
above equation is negative.
The tilting moment (MT) is determined as follows:
(MT) = PL x a
The safety factor against overturning must be:
MS

If G2 lies outside the tilting line the last term of the

Often, it will be impossible to obtain sufficient

When the crane is mounted at the rear of the truck,

the supporting area will be a triangle. In consequence
of the flexibility of the chassis you cannot utilize PF.
The tilting lines are drawn through PF as shown.

is determined as follows when G lies within tilting line
m:
MS = (PR x LB) + (G1 x LC) + (G2 x (LC - H2))

SUPPLEMENT TO STABILITY
CALCULATIONS
The increasing demands from the authorities
regarding stabilty and the tendency to mount
proportionally larger cranes on vehicles of standard
gross weight mean that it is necessary to check the
theoretical stability before mounting the crane.

In such cases, the stability test is required to be
carried out with a stability load of 1.25 x PL + 0.1 x

cranes. (G2 is the weight of the boom).
If the stability requirement cannot be complied with
by means of the crane's outrigger legs, it may be
necessary to mount an extra outrigger beam. See Fig.

PARTS-21

If four outrigger legs are used, it is necessary to

make the chassis torsion resistant in order for the
extra outrigger legs to transfer the moment. This is
done by making a subframe of RHS (Rectagular
Hollow Section) tubes supported by a transverse
bracing of corresponding profiles.
This is against the truck manufacturer's general
requirement for flexible chassis, and therefore, we
have to refer to the recommendations of the truck
manufacturer.

PUMP & HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

It is important that the correct pump be chosen, and
that it is installed properly, in order for the crane to
work to full satisfaction.
If the pump chosen is too small, the crane will
operate slowly. If the pump is too large, the working
speed, and thus the shock factor on the crane is too
high, and the life expectancy of the unit will be
reduced. Furthermore, the generation of heat is
increased, and in some cases it may be difficult to
get enough torque from the carrier vehicle's engine.
PUMP SELECTION CHECKLIST
Determine the requirements of the pump
performance. The performance stated in the
Instruction Manual is effective performance at
working pressure of the crane.
Choose number of engine revolutions.
Choose gear ratio of PTO.
Choose the pump size according to the following
table.
If a suitable pump size is not found, choose the one
nearest your requirements, and change the number of
engine revolutions accordingly.
Check that the engine can perform the necessary
torque.
Check that the PTO and the drive shaft can transfer
the necessary torque.
Check that the regulator of the fuel pump operates at
the chosen number of revolutions

By mounting of double pumps on divider gearbox, the

gear ratio must be taken into consideration, as it
changes the speed of the pump and applies more
stress to the drive shaft. Before mounting of pump,
remove the seal of the drive shaft and plug the leakoil hole. Fill the gear housing with oil. Refer to the
pump manufacturer's instructions.

If the pump is mounted with drive shaft, the universal

joint yokes must be parallel, as shown.

PUMP HYDRAULIC LINES

By mounting of drive shaft the two angles B1 and B2
must be the same. The axle of the PTO and the axle
of the pump must be parallel.
This also means that if the engine tilts backward in
the chassis, the pump must be mounted with the
same slope.

SUCTION LINE
The suction line must be synthetic rubber hose with
steel coil insert, to prevent collapse of the hose when
bent. Dimension according to table.

PRESSURE PIPE
The pressure pipe is made of high-pressure hose of
dimension and quality according to the table below, or
of pipes indicated in the table. Pipe material must be
seamless steel, ST35.4 NBK annealed (DIN2391.2/

NORMALLY MOUNTED CRANE

Pipe and hose connections must be made as short
as possible, and be placed with as few bends as
possible. Angular connections must be avoided on
the pressure pipe and banjo connections must not be
used. The suction line must fall down towards the
pump without upward bends, which may create air
pockets. The suction hose must be mounted
carefully, in order to avoid air being sucked into the
pump.
REAR MOUNTED CRANE
A separate tank with a capacity of approximately 1.5
to 2 times the pump performance must be mounted
close to the pump. The base of the crane cannot be
used, as the suction line will become too long and
create cavitation in the pump. The pressure pipe and
return pipe should be one dimension larger than
indicated in the table.
NOTE
THE BASE OF THE CRANE MUST ALWAYS BE
FILLED WITH HYDRAULIC OIL TO ENSURE
LUBRICATION AND TO AVOID CORROSION OF THE
ROTATION SYSTEM.

REAR MOUNTED DETACHABLE CRANE

The rear mounted detachable crane is connected
using quick-release couplings turned opposite each
other to prevent incorrect connection.
A safety valve (part no. 60 357) is mounted between
the pump and return pipe, close to the pump, to
protect the pump in the event that the quick-release
coupling is not connected. Opening pressure should
be 435 psi (30 bar) higher than the working pressure
of the crane.
A blow-off valve of 725 psi (50 bar) (part no. 12 43
614) is mounted in the return line of the crane
between the valve block and the quick-release
coupling to protect the system in the event the return
quick-release coupling is not connected.
CRANE MOUNTED 2-CIRCUIT HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM (TYPE TS)
Due to the larger volume of circulating oil, the crane's
standard oil tank and return filter will not be adequate,
therefore a separate oil tank should be mounted. The
capacity of the oil tank should be approximately 1.5
times larger than pump performance. See chart
below.

SYSTEM CHECK
After the crane has been installed, check the
following:
1. Check that the oil tank is full and the crane is
lubricated. If a separate tank is installed, check that
the base of the crane has been filled with hydraulic
fluid.
2. Check that all functions of the crane are bled.
3. Check that the Serial Number placard is correct.
4. Check the pressure setting with a pressure gauge,
and that it corresponds to the crane's requirements.
5. Check that all pressure setting adjustment screws
are sealed.
6. Check all connections for tightness. Tighten if
necessary. Also check that hoses are free of
obstructions and not twisted. Check adjustment of
lateral play in the outrigger beams.
7. Load and function test.
8. Top up the hydraulic oil.
9. Remove unnecessary protective paper from hoses
and labels.
When the crane is delivered, the following should be
demonstrated:
1. Use of outrigger legs.
2. Operation of the crane.
3. Crane maintenance.
An explanation of these points is provided in the
Instruction Manual.

A linking of standard tank and separate tank is not

recommended. Remember to fill the tank in the base.
