SCX1800A-3 PERFORMANCE

Exceptional capabilities to streamline worksites.
The SCX1800A-3 provides exceptional lifting capabilities with a compact body.

The main boom and crane jib combination has a reach of up to 75 m + 31 m, covering a wide working
area to further streamline operations on worksites. An auxiliary sheave (2 sheaves) option is also now

available to provide greater lifting performance, catering to increasingly diverse customer requirements.

Broad range of attachments
To make the SCX1800A-3 suited to various crane operations, a broad range ofattachments are available to suit different types of work. Specifications can be
tailored to suit customer requirements, including a HD boom for heavy duty lifting,the highly versatile standard boom, or crane jib for working over a wider area.

Auxiliary sheave (2 sheaves)

OPTION

Lifting capabilities can be doubled over one auxiliary sheave by selecting thetwo-auxiliary sheave option, to suit a broad range of work requirements(set with standard boom, boom length at 21 to 78 m).

SCX1800A-3 CONTROL

High-precision, exactly as intended. A level of control available to all.
Flexible operation and performance makes the crane truly shine during heavy lifting or precision jobs.

The crane has been designed so that it can be operated by anyone, exactly as they intend to, instead of
relying on the operator’s level of experience or skill. Outstanding usability has been the key behinddevelopment, and can be experienced at your work site, wherever in the world that may be.

AdBlue® is a registered trademark oftheGerman Association of theAutomotive Industry.

Reﬁlling frequency Once per two refuelings

The SCX1800A-3 requires AdBlue® to be refilled once every twotimes the machine is refueled.
(AdBlue® consumption may vary slightly depending on operating conditions)

Precautions with machines installed with the Urea SCR System

To ensure that the machine can be used safely and smoothly, use AdBlue ® aqueous solution (or a urea aqueous solution that complies with JIS
or ISO standards). Using a non-standard aqueous solution or diluting the solution before use may cause mechanical problems. Malfunctions
arising from the use of non-standard aqueous solutions are not covered by the HSC warranty service.
● The remaining AdBlue® level can be checked during work on the monitor display (Moment Limiter) in the cab. A
warning is displayed on the monitor when the remaining level becomes low or there is an issue with quality. ● The engine
power output will be limited if the remaining AdBlue® level falls below the minimum level or there is an issue with quality,
so be sure to plan refills in advance. ● The Urea SCR System is designed exclusively for the machine, and must not be
used for any other purpose. ● Rinse with water any solution that comes in contact with skin. ● When storing the solution,
always use sealed containers and store at room temperature in a well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight. When
carrying the solution, always use the container that the solution was purchased in, or other specified container. ● The Urea
SCR System includes a heater function, however sufficient care must be taken to prevent freezing when the solution isstored in cold regions (freezing temperature: -11°C) ● Read the instruction manual for more details.
