A-max mode
The basic boom extension (mode “B”) self-proportions all four
sections equally. The exclusive A-max mode (mode “A”) extends
only the inner mid-section to 60.3' (18.38 m), offering substantially
increased capacities for in-close, maximum capacity picks,
and providing the operator the capability to match the crane’s
configuration to specific job site conditions.

can use the stop engine
and check engine indicator lights to troubleshoot the engine. An engine diagnostic
connector, located under the carrier cab dash, allows an engine service technician to
further analyze engine problems with an engine diagnostic data reader.
Transportability
The HTC-8660 comes standard with 6,000 lbs of counterweight and also uses two
auxiliary 3,000 lb counterweights. The hydraulic counterweight removal system can
position one or both of the auxiliary counterweights on the carrier deck for efficient
axle load distribution, or can lower them directly onto a trailer for transport.
Stowable attachments
Swing-away lattice flys are easily stored for transport or can be removed to meet
specific road laws.
Carrier cab
The carrier cab and engine cowling are manufactured of the same
LFC 2000 construction process as the upper operator’s cab. This
rust-free, laminated fibrous composite material combined with
additional acoustical treatments assure the operator of maximum
highway comfort. And the rack and pinion steering puts the oper-
ator in complete control. Interchangeable with entire HTC line.
