Kobelco crawler arrives in Europe

The 110 tonne capacity CKE1100 crawler crane from Kobelco was on European soil for the first time at April’s SMOPyC exhibition in Spain.

The model has a main boom length of 15.2 to 70.1 m, with a maximum load rating of 110 tonnes at 3.6 m radius. There is the option of fixed jib combinations up to 61 m plus 21.3 m, to give a maximum hook height of about 80 m.

Close attention has been paid to transportability, said the company. The base machine, with base-boom installed, weighs 40.7 tonnes and is 3.2 m wide. The separate crawlers and counterweights can be self-installed on site. The retractable crawlers are then adjustable from 3.5 m retracted, to 5.3 m fully extended.

The crane is suited to applications in the petrochemical and construction industries, as well as assisting the erection of wind turbine.
