Amco Veba V812 2S Review: A Loader Crane Buying and Installation Guide

A compact folded boom can open up a useful conversation about loading, delivery and placement. The Amco Veba V812 2S is a focused subject for buyers planning a loader-crane installation. The decision starts with the work: what needs lifting, where it must be placed and which truck will carry the equipment.

This guide explores the 812 model family, load-chart questions and practical installation considerations. A separately dated seller section records a used 2015 V812 2S in Dubai, allowing the application guide to remain useful as that individual offer changes.

Start with the Loading and Placement Tasks

The V812 2S is advertised as a loader crane. The listing photographs show an articulated boom folded around its base, with hydraulic cylinders and hoses visible.

For a buyer considering material deliveries, equipment transport or site support, a useful enquiry begins with a short task list. Record the load weights and dimensions, the required placement radius and height, and the space available for the truck and stabilisers.

Include the work your team does regularly. For building-material deliveries, identify the typical packages and placement points. For equipment handling, describe the machinery or components and the lifting accessories you expect to use. Ask the supplier and installer to match those tasks to the documented crane configuration.

That brief gives the technical discussion a clear purpose and helps establish what the quotation should include.

The 812 Model Family: A Useful Technical Starting Point

An Amco Veba 812 manufacturer brochure, revision dated March 2006 and hosted by Hidrocentro, provides the following reference data:

These are historical model-family references. Ask the supplier to identify the specification and load chart belonging to the advertised 2015 V812 2S by serial number.

Lifting moment, lifting capacity and vertical reach describe different characteristics. The 11.9 tonne-metre figure is a moment rating; it should not be read as an 11.9-tonne load capacity. Use the matching chart to establish the permitted load at the intended radius and configuration.

The brochure includes multiple boom versions and optional accessories. Confirm which extensions, controls, stabilisers and accessories are actually fitted to the offered crane.

Use the 2S Load Chart to Shape the Buying Decision

Prepare the loads and placement points you want the crane to handle, then ask the supplier to identify the relevant chart entries. Include the boom arrangement, working radius, lifting accessories and proposed stabiliser setup.

Have a qualified installer assess the completed truck-and-crane arrangement and the applicable operating envelope. Request the configuration records, diagrams and instructions needed for commissioning and handover.

If additional extensions or attachments are being considered, ask for their approved configuration and the corresponding rating information. Keep those documents with the serial-number-specific crane records.

Truck and Hydraulic Compatibility: Define the Complete Package

The offer is categorised as a loader crane, and the photographs show it on a truck chassis. Confirm whether the quotation includes the crane alone, removal from the pictured chassis, mounting equipment, hydraulic accessories or a complete vehicle.

Send the installer the proposed truck’s chassis model, wheelbase, axle ratings, body layout and desired mounting position. Ask for a proposal covering the mounting structure, stabiliser arrangement, folded transport envelope and remaining payload.

Use the exact crane records to confirm hydraulic requirements. Have the installer match the PTO, pump, reservoir, filtration, cooling and pipework to the actual unit and intended duty.

Inspect the Crane with Its Records and Inventory Together

For a used crane, ask a competent specialist to agree an inspection and demonstration plan. Supply the serial plate, service history, inspection documents and any repair records available for review.

Request a complete inventory of the boom sections, hook equipment, stabilisers, controls, hydraulic components and loose accessories included in the sale. Have the supplier identify the fitted protective functions and provide the applicable operating instructions.

Agree how the crane will be assessed and demonstrated using an appropriate installation or test arrangement. Ask what preparation, documentation and support can accompany the handover at your destination.
