Our Loaders
Whether you need 16,000 lbs at 8 feet or 24,000 lbs, Olympic has a proven machine for the job.
Compare Models
Serious buyers need a fast way to confirm which model belongs in the quote conversation. This table makes that decision explicit.
| Compare | 10 Ton | 14 Ton | Buying Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity at 8' | 16,000 lbs | 24,000 lbs | Use this first if lift-at-radius is the main buying constraint. |
| Boom length | 21'6" - 25'1" | 23'3" - 25'1" | Both are comparable in reach; the main differentiator is lift and duty level. |
| Installed weight | 9,000 lbs | 9,800 lbs | Account for payload, chassis, and installation constraints early in the quote conversation. |
| Best fit | Versatile truck applications | Heavier-duty industrial work | Choose based on real duty cycle, not just wanting the bigger machine. |
Applications
Olympic loaders are configured for whatever the operation demands — from Pacific Northwest forest floors to ocean vessels.
Log Trucks
Purpose-built for logging operations with 44" interlocking grapple.
Rock Trucks
Handles aggregate and material loading across quarry and construction sites.
Recycling
Reliable lifts for scrap, waste, and recycling yard operations.
Marine & Vessel
Marine-duty configurations for aquaculture, fishing, and vessel deck operations.
Stationary Mounts
Fixed-base installations for yards, mills, and industrial facilities.
Marine Applications
Olympic loaders are deployed on working vessels across the Pacific Northwest — from aquaculture operations and shellfish farms to commercial fishing and dock work. The same rugged reliability that handles log and rock trucks performs flawlessly at sea.
On the Water
Why Olympic
Industrial Durability
Heavy fabricated boom construction, hydraulic power, and proven grapple hardware built for rough duty rather than showroom specs.
Direct Manufacturer Support
Prospective buyers talk to the people who know the loader, the application, and the tradeoffs between the 10 Ton and 14 Ton.
Configuration Flexibility
Olympic loaders are deployed across log, rock, recycling, dump, stationary, and marine environments with application-specific setups.
Long Operating Life
The sales story is longevity: machines designed to stay in service for years, with straightforward mechanical systems and parts support.
14 Ton loader for quarry and heavy material applications.
The 14 Ton model is positioned for operators who need higher lift figures, heavier boom construction, and a machine that matches demanding yard or truck-mounted loading cycles.
Olympic loaders adapted for working vessels and waterfront operations.
Marine configurations extend the same industrial loader platform into vessel decks, dock work, and aquaculture environments where reliability and direct support still drive the buying decision.

Buyer FAQ
Start with required lift at radius, the truck or vessel platform, and how often the loader will work at the top end of the duty cycle. The 10 Ton fits many log, recycling, and general industrial applications. The 14 Ton is the step up for heavier rock, dump, or marine-duty work where higher lift numbers and heavier structure matter.
Yes. Send us your truck, chassis, body style, vessel, or stationary mount details when you request a quote, and we'll recommend the right model and configuration for the job.
Yes. Olympic loaders are built for marine and vessel work, including aquaculture and dockside applications. Use the quote form to describe your environment and duty cycle so we can recommend the right configuration.
Include your application, preferred model if known, truck or vessel type, work location, and the loads or materials you handle. The more detail, the more accurate our recommendation will be.
Yes. As the manufacturer, we handle application guidance, support, and long-term ownership questions directly. Mention parts or service in the quote form and we'll route your inquiry to the right person.
Yes. Olympic ships and installs self-loading cranes nationally across the United States and Canada, and supports international installations for buyers who need a USA-built knuckleboom loader. Tell us where the loader will work when you request a quote so we can scope the shipping and install conversation up front.
Lead time depends on the model, configuration, and the truck or vessel platform the loader is going on. After the quote conversation we give you a realistic schedule against your application, rather than a generic figure that doesn't match your build.
Yes. Truck-mounted self-loading cranes are well-suited to storm cleanup, debris handling, and post-disaster recovery work where the same crew needs to load, haul, and unload material. The 10 Ton is a common fit for storm and right-of-way cleanup; the 14 Ton steps up when heavier debris or longer reach justifies the larger platform.
Tell Olympic about your truck, vessel, application, and target model. The quote flow is built to start with real decision inputs, not generic lead capture.
