Grove’ s new GHC200 telescoping crawler crane is the manufacturer’ s highest capacity model, related JJ Grace. It offers 200 tons of lifting capacity with a 185-foot main boom and features a 90 % pinning location on the boom for added setup flexibility, a tip height of up to 265.7 feet with extensions, and full pick-and-carry ability on inclines up to 4 °.
“ The GHC 200 was designed to deliver powerful lifting performance on challenging jobsites, including swampy or mountainous terrain,” Grace stated,“ and for demanding applications in general construction and renewable energy. It is also engineered for transport efficiency with six to seven truckloads and fast self-assembly. Additionally, operators benefit from a tilting cab, climate control, enhanced visibility with multiple cameras, and improved ergonomics aimed at increasing comfort and productivity.”
The transition to Stage V engines in Link-Belt telecrawler cranes addresses sustainability concerns, related Michael Dawson.“ Along with that, one of our guiding philosophies is to over spec our undercarriage components to provide for a longer service life and dramatically lower ownership costs,” he added.
“ We continue to innovate for day-to-day performance with the latest Rated Capacity Limiter( RCL) system in our teleboom crawler cranes,” Dawson continued.“ That offers operators a user-friendly interface common to other Link-Belt products along with various features unique to telecrawlers. Those include ground bearing pressure information, list charts, joystick-operational travel and function kick out for establishing lifting parameters, and for meeting other customer needs.”
Most of the improvements you will find on Tadano GTC teleboom crawler cranes, according to Allen Kadow, are in the form of tweaking already proven and reliable systems for efficiency, controllability, maintainability and rapid deployment of the machines.“ The addition of optional third winches and power-pack mounting frames have also improved efficiency,” he added.
Liebherr has expanded its range of telescopic crawler cranes with their new LTR
Liebherr has expanded its range of telescopic crawler cranes with their new LTR 1150 model. The crane, which has around 50 percent more lifting capacity than the LTR 1100, has a 170-ton maximum load capacity with a 171-foot telescopic boom, and a hoist height of 272 feet and a maximum radius of 249 feet. The LTR 1150 is also the first of the manufacturer’ s telescopic crawler cranes to be equipped with the Liebherr VarioBase and have WindSpeed Load Charts.
1150 model. The crane, positioned between the LTR 1100 and the LTR 1220, offers around 50 percent more lifting capacity than the LTR 1100. It has a 170-ton maximum load capacity with a 171-foot telescopic boom, and a hoist height of 272 feet and a maximum radius of 249 feet. The crane is available with a maximum track width of 19 feet, a reduced width of 16.4 feet and a narrow 11.5-foot track width.
The LTR 1150 is the first of the manufacturer’ s telescopic crawler cranes to be equipped with the Liebherr VarioBase, which determines the optimum load capacity in real time depending on the fixed track width and the variable rotation angle, Peretin noted.“ The variable supporting base not only provides greater safety for the telescopic mobile crane, but also allows for significantly higher load capacities, especially for lifts directly over the supports,” he explained further.“ The advantage in terms
