The five-axle model has a VIAB turbo clutch, a 70 m main boom and also includes Grove’s Megaform shaping for better strength and stability, the manufacturer said. New from Manitowoc is the 250 tonne capacity Grove GMK5250L. We have been able to design this new crane to fulfil requirements exactly.” Thomas Schramm, Tadano general manager sales and marketing, said, “The ATF 600G-8 is the result of close collaboration with our customers. Its transport weight of 96 tonnes keeps it within the 12 tonne per axle limit. The new range-topping crane is 21.7 m long, 3 m wide and 3.93 m high. A 460 kW (626 HP) unit is in the carrier and a 260 kW (354 HP) engine in the superstructure is for crane operations. In addition, it is powered by two Mercedes Benz Euromot 4 / Tier IV Final engines. The ATF 600G-8 is also fitted with an asymmetric outrigger base control and has the Hello-Net fleet management system. These tubes are further away from the centre of the system’s cross section, which makes the overall system much more stable than a conventional single telescopic boom system.” The mass of the total amount of available steel is no longer distributed in just one main boom but, instead, between another two telescopic tubes connected by what we refer to as partitions. “It is precisely this principle that we employed in our new Triple Boom system. “The further away the materials of a load bearing structure are from the centre of that structure’s cross section, the more stable the overall system will be. “It’s pure physics,” the manufacturer explained.
It also helps increase the model transport efficiency, as end users do not need to transport a boom suspension system. The main feature of the new model is its Triple-Boom system, which has three telescopic tubes designed to increase torsional stiffness. The new eight-axle model has a 600 tonne capacity, a 15.3 to 56 metre boom, 24 to 90 m boom extension and a maximum working radius of 104 m. The latest all terrain crane from Tadano is the ATF 600G-8 with Triple Boom system. As Wolfgang Beringer, Liebherr sales promotion points out all terrains tend to be a favourite buying option for rental companies as they are more flexible than rough terrains or truck cranes. Other advantages of all terrains are roadability and short rigging times, as Klein explains, “Many all terrain cranes can rig themselves and smaller models like the Challenger are designed for one-man-operation and, therefore, can do many jobs without needing additional transport.”Īlongside the demand of meeting varying road regulations, manufacturers also need to keep all terrain cranes flexible. To meet these demands, manufacturers have to make cranes that are roadable in all key markets.įor manufacturers such as Terex, this has meant creating an all terrain range (the Explorer) that offers varying axle spacing, short front overhang, optional boom-off solution or dolly preparation, to name a few. As Michael Klein, Terex Cranes manager product marketing, explains, nearly every country has specific axle load and axle spacing regulations. In Europe, two- to three-axle models popular, largely because of strict and varying road regulations, which is a hindrance for worldwide operation. In addition, the company has focused on simple designs for operation and maintenance, which makes them popular in developing markets where operators and high tech mechanics can be difficult to find.Ĭurnutte adds, “All terrain cranes are an ideal choice when soft, uneven terrain and steeper grades exist and they can reduce costs in those situations, compared to other mobile crane types that might experience mechanical issues or accelerated wear in those same conditions.” As Rick Curnutte, Link-Belt product manager for telescopic truck and all terrain cranes, explains, Link-Belt has designed both of its all terrain cranes, the ATC-3210 and ATC-3275, to be available with Tier III engines for different regions of the world. To meet demands, manufacturers tend to offer different engines and other technologies for different parts of the world. This versatility means that manufacturers need to design models that suit not only a wide range of industries, but a range of markets as well. Applications for all terrain cranes can be stretched from infrastructure projects to the energy sector, including wind turbine erection and maintenance, or even road building projects.
