Terex A600 Technical Manual – OEM Datasheet

If you’re working on a Terex A600 Technical Manual rough terrain crane and you don’t have the factory load charts and dimensions, you’re guessing. Guessing on a 40-ton crane gets people killed. I’ve seen too many riggers skip the spec sheet and bend a boom or overload a tyre. This 20-page manual is the original OEM datasheet – not some aftermarket summary with rounded numbers. It gives you the exact values Terex engineers used when they built the machine.

Page 5 holds the critical dimensions and weights. You need those to know if the crane fits through a gate or if the ground can support it. Page 7-8 give you the load charts – the real working envelope. Without those, you’re flying blind. The Key on page 3 explains every symbol used in the graphs. Skip that and you’ll misread a line.

Load Charts on Pages 7-8: The Real Numbers

Load charts are not suggestions. They are the legal lifting capacity limits. This manual includes the range graph (page 6) and the loaded charts for every boom configuration. You get the data for different radii and outrigger setups. Aftermarket copies often compress or lose these tables. This is the factory file – nothing cropped, nothing guessed.

Dimensions and Weights – Page 5 Data

Three numbers matter: overall length, width, height, and axle loads. Page 5 lists them in metric (the manual’s native unit). If you need imperial, convert carefully – the tolerance on a crane’s turning radius is tight. The weights include the base machine and optional equipment. Check the Options section (pages 12-15) to see how a winch or different tyres change the numbers.

Boom and Hoist: Technical Specs on Page 9

Page 9 covers boom length, sections, and hoist pull. The upper structure section (page 10) details the cab controls and carrier performance. Vehicle performance specs on page 11 include travel speed and gradeability. If you’re rebuilding the carrier, you need the transmission data – refer to Manual Transmission for general theory, but the factory spec is inside this manual.

Terex A600 Technical Manual – 20 Pages of Factory Data

Twenty pages might sound thin for a crane manual. But this datasheet is dense. Every page is filled with a table, a graph, or a note. The Notes to lifting capacity on page 16 are legally binding – they tell you when the chart applies and when it doesn’t. The Highlights page (page 4) gives you a one-glance summary of the A600’s capabilities. Tyre specs on page 12 are often overlooked; wrong pressure and the crane wobbles. This manual lists the factory tyre options and their load ratings.

Does This Manual Include Repair Steps?

No. This is a technical datasheet, not a service or repair manual. It has no torque specs, no disassembly procedures, no wiring diagrams. If you need to fix a blown hoist motor or replace a boom section, you need the full OEM service manual. But if you need to verify load capacity, check dimensions before transport, or spec out options, this is the exact document Terex publishes. It’s a reference tool, not a workshop manual.

Why Factory Specs Beat Aftermarket Copies

I’ve seen aftermarket datasheets that use averaged numbers. One job a guy had a load chart that was off by 2,000 lbs because the reprint used a different boom length. That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. This file comes directly from the Terex factory PDF. The original filename is TEREX_A600_Technical_Manual_en-fr-de-it-28913009799.pdf. That multi-language support matters if your crew works across languages. Don’t trust a scanned copy of a copy.

Does this manual include repair procedures?

No. This is a technical datasheet, not a service manual.

What units are used?

The manual uses metric units for all measurements. If you need imperial conversions, you will have to convert yourself. The data is factory-original and does not include imperial equivalents.

Can I use this for lifting capacity calculations?

Yes. Pages 7-8 contain the load charts and page 16 includes the notes to lifting capacity. These are the official Terex values for the A600 rough terrain crane. The range graph on page 6 shows the working envelope. Always cross-reference the notes before any lift – they explain restrictions like outrigger spread and allowable wind speed.

Is this a reprint or copy?

This is a direct digital copy of the factory OEM datasheet from Terex. It is not a third-party reprint.

You need the real numbers. Stop relying on vague internet summaries. Access the Factory Manual and put the correct load charts on your crane’s bulletin board. That’s how you keep the boom straight and the job safe.
