Terex RS 70100 Technical Manual – The OEM Datasheet You Need Before You Mount

This is the factory datasheet for the Terex RS 70100 Technical Manual – 16 pages of exactly what the chassis shop and the crane installer need. Not a service manual. Not a repair guide. If you are planning to mount an RS 70100 boom truck crane on a chassis, these are the OEM numbers you ignore at your own risk. I’ve seen guys guess on frame RBM and wheelbase, then watch the frame fold under load. Don’t be that guy.

Mounting Specifications: The Chassis Has to Match

Page 4 of the manual lists every critical mounting parameter: gross vehicle weight rating, front and rear axle weight ratings, crane weight, wheelbase, cab to axle distance, afterframe length, frame height (unloaded), and the required RBM per frame rail. These aren’t suggestions. If your chassis doesn’t meet the rear axle weight rating or the wheelbase falls outside the OEM window, the crane won’t be stable. The manual also specifies exhaust placement – vertical, right side. You skip that and you’re rerouting exhaust the day after install.

What the Load Charts Actually Tell You

Pages 7, 8, and 9 give you the boom load charts for the main boom, jib extended, and jib retracted. Each chart is for a specific configuration – don’t mix them up. The Electronic Rated Capacity Indicator is listed on page 4 as a feature, but the actual capacity numbers are in these charts. If you are lifting near the rated capacity, you need the exact boom angle and radius. The manual gives them in metric; convert to imperial if your crane’s computer reads in pounds and feet — but the numbers come from Terex, not a third party.

Dimensions and Range Diagram – Pages 5 and 6

Page 5 covers the area of operation and overall crane dimensions. Maximum tip height, maximum sheave height with the 16.8 m jib – it’s all there. On page 6 the range diagram shows the working envelope: boom angle vs. radius. If you are setting up in a tight yard or near power lines, you reference that diagram first. No guessing.

Technical Specifications Breakdown – Boom, Jib, Rotation (Page 10)

Starting on page 10, the manual lists boom, jib, and rotation specs. Then operator controls on page 11, understructure details on page 12, and optional features on pages 12‑13. This section tells you what the crane can do – rotation speed, maximum boom length, jib options. The understructure page covers what goes between the crane and the chassis frame. If you’re fabricating mounting brackets, that page is your bible.

Why an OEM Datasheet Beats a Third-Party Summary

I don’t trust aftermarket compilations for critical specs. A third-party site might copy the numbers wrong or leave out the footnotes about chassis requirements. This PDF is a direct scan of the Terex factory publication. The page numbers match the original print. For example, the “Key” legend on page 3 is multi‑language – that’s how you know it came from the factory, not someone’s blog. If you need other Terex machinery documentation, check the TEREX Technical Literature Listing TL006 Nov 2009 to see what’s available. For a different model with hydraulic system specs, there’s the Terex RH 200 Technical Manual – Hydraulic System OEM Specs. And if you’re working with a rough terrain crane, the TEREX A600 ROUGH TERRAIN CRANE DATASHEET is another OEM resource. Outside of Terex, if you’re comparing to a Manual Transmission rebuild guide, this datasheet is not that – it’s pure specification, not assembly instructions. Same with the second Manual Transmission point: different tool, different job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include wiring diagrams?

No. This is a 16-page technical datasheet, not a service manual. It contains mounting specs, load charts, dimensions, and range diagrams. Wiring diagrams are not included.

What is the maximum tip height of the RS 70100?

The maximum tip height is listed on page 4 under Features. The manual also gives the maximum sheave height with the 16.8 m jib. For the exact number, refer to that page – do not rely on memory or a used‑crane salesman’s numbers.

Can I use this document to rebuild the crane?

No. This is a datasheet, not a service or repair manual. You want the actual workshop manual for disassembly, inspection, and reassembly procedures. This document is for verifying specs during installation and operation.

Why should I pay for this when I can find specs online?

Because online sources frequently transcribe numbers wrong – I have caught more than one aftermarket site listing the wrong wheelbase or missing the exhaust requirement. This PDF is a direct factory reproduction. The page numbers, the multi-language legends, the Terex brand – they all confirm it’s the real thing. If you are mounting a crane on a $100,000 chassis, the $20 cost of the datasheet is cheap insurance.

You want the factory numbers, not someone’s copy of a copy. Access the Factory Manual now and keep it with the crane’s paperwork. When the inspector shows up, you hand them this datasheet and they know you did it right.
