For their SCA1600TB telescopic boom crawler, SANY designed a six-section, 196.5-foot, pin and latch boom. A lifting capacity of 160 tons at 9 feet gives the machine the same or more radius as lattice boom crawler cranes while offering maneuverability for strong pick and carry capabilities, the company noted.

SANY telescopic boom crawlers are the right cranes for construction and other applications

In the MASE fleet and ready to handle those multiple jobs in a little more than one year are SANY teleboom crawler cranes, including four SCA900TB and two SCA1600TB models. The company also has SCA2600A and one SCC3000 lattice boom crawlers.

Mid Atlantic Steel Erectors (MASE) was called on to provide cranes to complete construction on multiple data centers, a medical complex, a high school and a minor league baseball stadium, they knew exactly what they needed. For the Midlothian, Virginia based crane rental and steel erection services provider the choice was obvious.

For Joel Hicks, crawler crane product manager at SANY, there’s little doubt why the telescopic crawlers made sense. “They are well suited for handling steel,” he said. “For MASE as well, the three-bar grouser pads handled rough terrain with ease and retractable side frames allowed them to maneuver in tight locations.”

Another reason that teleboom crawlers are attractive to construction contractors, according to Hicks, is their modular design for ease of transport and quick setup time. “They can self-assemble with a wired or wireless remote control eliminating the need for a helper crane,” he added.
