Product description

With a working height of 85 ft, horizontal outreach of 68 ft, and platform capacity of 300 / 600 lbs, the SC85 eliminates the need for separate crane and aerial platform equipment, reducing fleet size, mobilization costs, and jobsite complexity for sign installation, billboard maintenance, and large-format outdoor advertising work. With lift capacity of up to 24,000 lbs, the SC85 is the heavy-lift solution in the sign crane lineup for the most demanding billboard and large-format sign installation projects.

Designed for maximum productivity and operator confidence, the SC85 features 360° continuous rotation, hydraulic and gravity leveled platforms with easy ground-level entry, aerial and ground hydraulic controls, remote engine start/stop, and a platform-mounted jib with hydraulic winch for precise load placement. A radio anti-two block system, Nylatron pad equipped booms, rugged weatherproof automotive-style electrical system, and ORS face seal hydraulic fittings ensure reliable, low-maintenance performance across demanding outdoor operating conditions. A front outrigger spread of 19′ 9.75″ and rear spread of 18′ 6″ deliver the unparalleled machine stability required for safe aerial and crane operations, and the design meets ANSI A92.2 and ANSI B30.5 recommendations.

Available with multiple tool and lamp box options—including an extra-long lamp box option in the sub-frame—and configurable for a wide range of chassis and upfitting requirements, the SC85 is built to match your exact operational needs.
