Soosan SCS736, SCS736L2 2009 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a hydraulic part by guess and got a box of wrong metal, you know why this book matters. I’m Mike Callahan, and I’ve seen too many rigs sidelined because someone used a third-party parts list. This is the real one: the Soosan SCS736, SCS736L2 2009 Parts Catalog. Factory printed, 346 pages, straight from Soosan Heavy Industries. It’s not a reprint, not a scan of a scan. It’s the original OEM document that tells you exactly which part number goes where, and which revision you need.

That matters. Because on a job site, a wrong part means downtime, and downtime costs more than the manual. This catalog covers the SCS736 (STD and TOP) and the SCS736L2 (STD and TOP) with every assembly broken down by revision date. You get the crane assembly, boom assembly, telescopic cylinders, swing post, winch, derrick, outriggers, piping, and stickers. Every section has its own page index. No guesswork.

Soosan SCS736, SCS736L2 2009 Parts Catalog – Assembly Index

Open to page 1, and you find the CRANE ASS’Y for the SCS736 STD with a 2006 revision. Flip to page 1-1 for the 2009 revision. The catalog groups revisions by date so you can match your crane’s build. The table of contents lists every assembly: OPERATION MAIN ASS’Y (page 43), BOOM ASS’Y (page 7), TELESCOPIC CYL’ ASS’Y (page 13), SWING POST ASS’Y (page 27), and on through FRAME ASS’Y, VALVE STAND SET, LEVER STAND SET, OUTRIGGER ASS’Y, and PIPING ASS’Y. Each assembly includes a diagram with callout numbers and an accompanying parts list with quantities. If you need to rebuild a telescopic cylinder, you turn to page 13, find the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stage sub-assemblies on pages 15, 19, and 23. The part numbers are unique per revision, so you order the right seal kit the first time.

3 Major Revision Periods Documented

Soosan issued revisions in April 2006, December 2008, and September 2009 for most assemblies. This catalog includes all three. For example, the CRANE ASS’Y appears on pages 1, 1-1, and 1-2; the OPERATION MAIN ASS’Y on pages 43, 43-1, and 43-2; the BOOM ASS’Y on pages 7, 7-1, and 7-2. If your crane was built in 2009, you order parts from the 2009 revision columns. Do not mix revisions – the pipe routing changed, the valve stand brackets changed, and the telescopic cylinder seals changed. The catalog notes each revision date clearly on the page header. No aftermarket catalog has this level of granularity. Stick with the OEM source.

Verify Your Part Numbers Before Ordering

The parts list for each assembly includes item number, part name, part serial number (OEM part number), and quantity. For instance, the HOOK ASS’Y on page 83 has revisions for 2006, 2008, and 2009. If you call your dealer and ask for a hook assembly for an SCS736, they’ll ask which revision. With this catalog, you give them the exact part number. That kills the back-and-forth. The FOREWORD section on page 2 explains the ordering process: you need model name, part name, part serial number, quantity, and upper assembly name. This manual gives you all that. I’ve used OEM parts books like this for years – the difference is night and day compared to aftermarket parts lists that skip revision breaks.

Piping Assemblies: Swing, Telescopic, and Winch

Piping is where most aftermarket catalogs fail. They show one generic diagram for all years. This catalog devotes pages 63 through 81 to piping, with separate sections for DISTRIBUTOR PIPING, DERRICK PIPING, WINCH PIPING, TELESCOPIC PIPING, SWING PIPING, and JACK PIPING. Each has its own revision (2006 and 2008). There’s even a LOAD LIMIT PIPING section added in September 2009 on page Ⓐ81. If your crane has load limit plumbing, you need that special page. The diagrams show hose routing, fitting part numbers, and bracket locations. Use the wrong hose length and you risk chafing or tight bends. This catalog prevents that.

Why OEM Documentation Beats Reprints

Aftermarket parts catalogs are often photocopies of photocopies with blurred part numbers. I’ve seen “compatible” part lists that lump 2006 and 2009 parts together. That’s a liability. This book is a scan of the original Soosan publication, but from the master file – the text is sharp, the callout lines are clear, and the part numbers are legible. The inside cover warns: “Use our company’s product. There is no compensation if you use another part which is not our company’s part.” Soosan is serious about genuine parts. If you’re a shop owner or an operator, using this catalog protects you from warranty claims and safety issues. The Automotive Industry Overview might discuss general repair standards, but for Soosan hydraulic cranes, you need the factory book.

Every time I work on a Soosan crane, I check the revision of every assembly against this catalog. It lives in the shop computer. When a tech comes to me with a part number they got from an online forum, I send them to page 43 to verify. The time you spend flipping through these 346 pages is time you don’t spend returning wrong parts. Automotive Industry Overview is for background reading – this manual is for the workbench.

Can I use this manual to repair my crane?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual.

How do I know which revision of boom assembly my crane uses?

The manual breaks down the BOOM ASS’Y into three revisions: 2006 (page 7), 2008 (page 7-1), and 2009 (page 7-2). Each section has its own illustrated diagram and part number list. If your crane was built in 2009, you need the 2009 revision. Ordering a 2006 part for a 2009 crane will not fit. Always check the revision date on your crane’s serial plate before ordering. This catalog saves you that headache because it includes all revisions in one book.
