to the user manual.

SECTION 2. SAFETY

2.1 For safety reasons the driver/operator/user should carry out all operations as stated in the user manual

or in the additions to it.

2.2 If more stringent safety demands are locally placed on the truck/crane than specified in the Spierings

truck user manual or additions to it, these more stringent requirements must be strictly complied with. If

not, all warranty will expire and the manufacturer will not be liable for any damage or costs.

2.3 The Spierings truck manufacturer points out explicitly, that the driver/operator/user and local personnel

should not enter the cranes/trucks danger zone. If, for any reason or cause, an unexpected situation

occurs during operation one should contact the technical department or Spierings Service department

first before proceeding.

SECTION 3. WARRANTY

3.1 It is prohibited to carry out modifications or welding to the Spierings truck without prior written permission

of the manufacturer of the Spierings truck.

1. General Data AT4

The AT4 carriage is especially designed for the Spierings SK488 folding crane. Extra attention is paid to a smooth

and c omfortable transp ort to the work site. The crane is s uited for driving on public r oads, full y equipped with

counterweight and tools. The chassis is an especially rigid structure to create a good crane support.

In Picture 1-1 you will find the measurements of the SK488 with the AT4 carriage. The dimensions given are the

overall dimensions, axle bases and turning circle.

Picture 1-1

Measurements:

• Len gth: 15,8m

• W idth: 2,8m

• Heig ht: 4m

Drive unit:

• 12,6 litre DAF-diesel engine with turbo compressor and intercooler (type XE 315).

• ZF gearbox with sixteen gears forward and two gears reverse.

• STEYR high/low shift, transfer case, with high speed (road) and low speed (off the road) transmission.

• Electronic accelerator "E-gas” with speed control.

• Four Ginaf axles, where axle two, three and four are driven.

MANUAL SPIERINGS TRUCK AT4

AT4-EN-050819.doc 1-2

Steering:

• Axle 1, 2 en 4 are steered.

• Mechanically coupled steering, where axle four is steered in the opposite direction of axle one and two,

realizing a small turning circle.

• As option, axle 4 can be mechanically uncoupled and manually steered in the same steering direction as axle

1 and 2 using a joystick. When axle 3 is lifted, sideway driving is possible.

• Hydraulically powered steering system.

• Fitted with an emergency steering pump, so when the main steering pump malfunctions, the truck remains

steer able until it is at a standstill.

• Provisions for driving off the road:

- axle height adjustable

- high/low gear shift transfer case can be put in low gear for driving off the road

- longitudinal and transverse differentials can be locked

Suspension:

• H ydro-pneumatic suspension.

• The suspension can be blocked (e.g. when driving with erected tower.)

Braking system:

• Pneumatic brakes with anti-blocking system (ABS).

4-point outrigger system:

• wide support base = 6,9 m x 6,85 m

• Narrow support base = 6,9 m x 5,15 m

Further data:

• Maximum speed limit to 85 km/h

• Minimum speed at 1250 rpm: 1,9 km/h (is 32 m/min)

• Truck weight including superstructure: 48.000 kg

• De axle load is 12.000 kg per axle

MANUAL SPIERINGS TRUCK AT4

AT4-EN-050819.doc 1-3

Identification:

• Engine number: Left-hand on the engine block above the fuel pump.

Vehicle identification number: On the identification plate in the co-driver’s leg-room (See Picture 1-2) and

stamped in the right frame girder in front of the first axle. (Picture 1-3)
