Truck cranes new from Junjin

Junjin CSM is developing a 55 tonne capacity truck crane as the first in a series.

Formerly Soosan Special Purpose Vehicles Co. Ltd, Junjin Construction & Special Purpose Machinery Co. Ltd, has built and is testing a prototype of the JK550T telescopic boom truck crane.

In addition to domestic sales, the South Korean construction equipment manufacturer is aiming the new five axle crane at export markets. It can travel with counterweight at up to 80 km/h, the manufacturer said.

It will be followed by a smaller model. "We are developing a 30 tonne crane to build the mobile crane line-up and will continue to make products that customers want through close and constant communication with customers," said JaeHwan Lee, JunJin CEO.

"We are making Junjin known to the world by entering emerging markets such as India and Russia, as well as the Far East market, which is already the world's largest," Lee continued.
