14 Ton Self-Loader
14 Ton Self-Loader
The step-up loader for buyers who need higher lift numbers, heavier structure, and stronger alignment with rock, dump, and marine-duty workloads.
Quick Fit
Choose the 14 Ton when your operation routinely pushes heavier loads, harsher duty cycles, or marine-duty requirements that justify the larger platform.
Capacity
28,000 lbs
at 8'
Overview
A buying page, not just a spec sheet.
The Olympic 14 Ton Self-Loader handles 28,000 lbs at 8 feet, built with a heavier 8"×10" tube boom for the most demanding operations — from Thurston County dump trucks to boulder-yard cranes. When the job is bigger, so is the machine.
Built for buyers who already know they need more capacity and heavier-duty structure than the 10 Ton
Better fit when the loader must repeatedly work in tougher aggregate, dump, or marine-duty cycles
Supports a higher-trust sales conversation when you need the machine sized around harder use instead of compromise

Model Comparison
Compare before you request pricing.
Serious buyers want a fast way to confirm which loader belongs in the quote conversation. This section keeps that decision explicit.
| Compare | 10 Ton | 14 Ton | Buying Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity at 8' | 20,000 lbs | 28,000 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. |
Buyer FAQ
Objection-handling before the first call.
When should I move up to the 14 Ton?
Move to the 14 Ton when your application requires more lift at radius, heavier-duty structure, or the machine will spend more of its life in demanding rock, dump, or marine work.
Is the 14 Ton the better marine option?
For buyers evaluating tougher marine or vessel-mounted applications, the 14 Ton is the stronger starting point because it is already positioned for heavier work and marine configurations.
