14 Ton Self-Loading Crane
14 Ton Self-Loading Crane
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
22,000 lbs
at 8'
Overview
A Buying Page, Not Just a Spec Sheet.
The Olympic 14 Ton Self-Loader handles 22,000 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

Applications
Where This Model Fits Best.
These are the buyer conversations this page should support before someone ever reaches the quote form.
Rock and aggregate handling where heavier lift requirements drive the buying decision
Dump truck or heavy industrial installs that need a stronger boom package
Marine and vessel-mounted work where application demands exceed lighter-duty configurations
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' | 16,000 lbs | 22,000 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 tougher marine or vessel-mounted applications, the 14 Ton is the stronger starting point — its heavier structure handles the duty cycle of demanding marine work better than the 10 Ton.
What is the 14 Ton's lift capacity at maximum radius?
At the full 25-foot working radius the 14 Ton lifts 5,000 lbs. The full capacity chart steps from 22,000 lbs at 8' to 13,000 lbs at 15' to 9,000 lbs at 20' before reaching that 5,000 lb figure at 25' — a meaningful margin over the 10 Ton at the same radii when heavier rock or marine duty justifies the larger boom.
Does the 14 Ton fit sawmill yard or mill loader applications?
Yes. Sawmill yards in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere use the 14 Ton as a stationary or truck-mounted loader for moving cants, slabs, and material into and out of the mill. The heavier 8"×10" boom and 22,000-lb capacity at 8 feet are sized for repeat mill-yard cycles where lighter loaders would wear faster.
Can the 14 Ton handle aggregate, rock, and scrap operations?
Yes — rock, aggregate, and scrap handling is the 14 Ton's natural duty cycle. Operators run it on rock trucks, dump truck bodies, and stationary yard installs where the higher capacity at radius and heavier boom construction match the day-to-day load.
