carry the necessary inventory for complex repairs without sacrificing lifting strength. The cranes also feature extended boom lengths up to 32 feet.
The Summit 829 hydraulic crane available for purchase beginning in early 2026 has 29 feet of maximum horizontal reach and an 8,000-pound maximum lifting capacity. Key innovations include a fully proportional control valve that enables seamless movement of all functions simultaneously, a redesigned rotational assembly that weighs over 100 pounds less than its predecessors and allows for continuous rotation and a relocated winch. On the crane as well there is an updated ASE Phase 5 control system that offers enhanced customization, ease of use and access to diagnostic capabilities encompassing all devices within the truck’ s electrical environment.
Stellar hydraulic service truck cranes have lifting capacities from 7,500 to 14,000 pounds. The cranes feature an octagonal boom and compact boom tips for maintaining strength while reducing weight and making access to tight spaces easier, a planetary winch with a hydraulic or mechanical brake system, and full hydraulic extension for-10 degrees to + 80 degrees articulation. Also available are radio remote control and the Stellar CDTpro Control System with Range Finder technology.
Supporting Onsite Work“ From an engineering standpoint, service cranes allow mobile service operations to handle more complex work without adding additional equipment or vehicles,” said Christian Glascock, product development engineer at Summit Truck Bodies.“ When a crane is lighter, stronger and easier to control, it expands what technicians can safely do in the field. That translates to greater efficiency, shorter setup times and the ability for a single truck to support a wider range of maintenance and repair work onsite.”
