Eurogru builds largest truck crane

Manufacturer Eurogru has launched a 300 tonne capacity 300.23 truck mounted crane, its biggest model to date.

It is mounted on a 5-axle Scania commercial truck and has a three section 18.64 metre telescopic boom and a maximum working height of 22 m. Configured with full ballast and a boom length of 21 m, the 300.23 can lift 83.6 tonnes at 5 m working radius.

The 300.23 is built using Weldox 1100 and Weldox 960 grade steel from SSAB in the structure. It has a 10 tonne capacity winch with 21 mm diameter wire rope. Base ballast is 10 tonnes, which can be increased to 35 tonnes, the manufacturer added. The 300.23 is fitted with stabilisers that can be removed for transport.

South Korean company Daejin Crane took delivery of the first model in February 2015. The company already has a 150.30 (delivered in 2008) and a 150.25 (delivered in 2012).
