Questions we are asked
Questions buyers ask us about this particular Sany STC500.
About the Sany STC500
Would you recommend the Sany STC500 to a contractor?+
Yes, and truck cranes are simpler than people expect. The lifting gear is well understood, the carrier is a conventional truck chassis, and Sany supports them across the markets we ship to.
What should I use the Sany STC500 for?+
Lifting steel, precast, plant and equipment on building and industrial sites. It travels to the job on the road, so there is no low loader to arrange.
Can I get filters and parts for the Sany STC500 locally?+
Sany has built a real service presence across Africa, Asia and South America over the last decade, and crane consumables are conventional hydraulic and driveline items.
Is the mileage on this Sany STC500 accurate?+
There is no hour or kilometre figure available on this crane, so we publish nothing rather than guess. What we can do is photograph and film whatever you want to see.
Is the Sany STC500 still in the yard?+
Yes. Cranes are a smaller part of our stock so there is usually less competition for them than for excavators.
Price and payment
What does the Sany STC500 sell for?+
USD 93,000 FOB Qingdao, as is. Fifty tonne class cranes rarely appear at this figure, and the price reflects buying from the yard rather than a dealer.
Where can I find a Sany STC500 at this sort of price?+
Cranes bought from the yard skip the dealer margin entirely, and lifting equipment carries a large margin when it goes through a dealer.
Who do I send money to for the Sany STC500?+
Payment for this crane goes to Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States. On a purchase this size, having a verifiable company on the other side matters.
If I need two Sany STC500 units, can you do that?+
Yes. Cranes are sourced to order and we can look across capacities, so tell us the lift and the radius you need rather than a model number.
Shipping the Sany STC500
How does a Sany STC500 get from your yard to my port?+
A truck crane travels on a bulk vessel, driven aboard where the service allows. The boom is stowed and the counterweights are handled separately.
What does delivery add to the price of the Sany STC500?+
Crane freight is priced individually because of the weight and the length of the carrier. Tell us your port and we will get you a real quotation.
Checking it before you buy
Will you film the Sany STC500 for me before I buy?+
Yes. We can photograph the boom sections, the outriggers, the hook block and the carrier, and film the boom being raised and extended.
How do I verify the condition of the Sany STC500?+
Yes, and for lifting equipment we would want you to. Bring or appoint somebody who knows cranes, because they will check things a general inspector would not.
Can you suggest another machine instead of the Sany STC500?+
If fifty tonnes will not cover your heaviest lift, we hold a hundred tonne machine as well. Tell us the weight and the radius and we will tell you which you need.
