What is the TERRA TS100-4 4-Ton Lifting Solution?
The TERRA TS100-4 4-ton stiff boom crane—widely specified as a compact telescopic lorry crane in Southeast Asia, a stiff boom cargo crane in the Middle East and Africa, and a 4-ton KMU manipulator in Central Asia—is a high-efficiency truck-mounted lifting solution engineered for urban infrastructure, municipal maintenance, and light-duty bulk logistics. Designed to integrate seamlessly with medium-duty commercial truck chassis (including 4×2 and 6×2 configurations from HOWO, ISUZU, and HINO), this crane occupies a minimal installation space of just 550 mm. Fabricated entirely with premium high-tensile structural steel to optimize the payload-to-weight ratio, the TS100-4 features a 4-section pentagonal boom that achieves a 10.2-meter working radius and an 11.5-meter lifting height. Driven by a high-pressure 40 L/min hydraulic system, it offers smooth, 360-degree continuous slewing and precise winch control with over-winding protection, ensuring reliable, everyday on-site hoisting operations across harsh B2B job environments.
“For mid-range municipal and utility logistics, the true measure of a crane is how much truck bed it leaves behind,” explains Joseph Lin, Senior Engineering Specialist at TERRA CRANE. “With a super-compact 550 mm footprint and premium high-tensile structural steel, the TS100-4 delivers robust 4,000 kg lifting capacities without overloading light commercial chassis, maximizing both payload safety and vehicle lifespan.”
TERRA TS100-4 Engineered High-Performance Advantages
- High-Torque Hydraulic System: Outfitted with an advanced 40 L/min high-pressure pump system, providing optimized, multi-action synchronized control for effortless lifting under load.
- Precision Slewing Reducer: Single high-efficiency slewing reducer delivers continuous 360-degree continuous rotation with massive slewing torque, guaranteeing zero-vibration operations on uneven ground.
- Ground-Level Dual Linkage Valve: Dual-side ground control linkage lets the operator manage all operations smoothly from either side of the truck bed, significantly improving on-site visibility and safety.
- Hardened Outrigger Hydraulic Locks: Cast from high-hardness alloys to prevent oil backflow, ensuring the stabilizers remain rock-solid and secure with zero cylinder drift.
- Dual-Seal Two-Way Balance Valve: Outfitted with a redundant double-seal internal mechanism to keep the telescopic boom securely locked in place, ensuring safety at any angle.
- Bent-Axis Hydraulic Winch System: Stiff boom essential! Includes a high-torque bent-axis winch with fast hoisting speeds, steady line spooling, and an integrated over-winding alarm.
- Custom-Built Hydraulic Cylinders: Specifically designed with imported durable oil seals to withstand extreme friction, ensuring smooth, leak-free boom telescoping for years.
- Deep-Quenched Slewing Bearing: Featuring a highly hardened raceway that smoothly absorbs severe tilting and bending moments, protecting the gear set from premature wear.
- 4-Layer Steel Wire Reinforced Hoses: Heavy-duty hydraulic lines reinforced with four layers of high-tensile steel wire mesh, resisting temperatures up to 100°C and pressures up to 18 MPa.
- High-Dissipation Thermal Radiator: Large-volume air-cooled hydraulic radiator prevents oil thinning and soft seal wear in Middle Eastern climates up to 50°C.

Frequently Asked Questions About 4-Ton Telescopic Cranes
Q: Can the TS100-4 crane be installed on my existing light 4×2 truck chassis?
A: Yes, perfectly. The TS100-4 is optimized for light-to-medium commercial trucks with a compact installation base of only 550 mm. It is fully compatible with standard 4×2 and 6×2 commercial chassis from top brands like ISUZU, HOWO, SHACMAN, and HINO with zero complex modifications required.
Q: What is the benefit of the pentagonal boom profile over a standard square profile?
A: The pentagonal (5-sided) boom structure provides much higher lateral resistance and a superior load center of gravity. This minimizes boom twist, sag, and deflection when handling a full 4,000 kg load, dramatically increasing safety on congested urban jobsites.
Q: How do the hydraulic components withstand extreme climates and sandy environments?
A: Every TS100-4 is fitted with a large-volume radiator oil cooler to withstand 50°C desert heat and high-durability imported oil seals that operate down to -40°C. Additionally, our key control valves and cylinder shafts are fitted with heavy-duty wiper seals to prevent dust and sand from causing internal hydraulic wear.
