“In general, the demand to lift heavier loads increased all over the world while at the same time, job sites are becoming more confined and constrained. This model has a compact design, the carrier length is 17.5m and the main boom overhang is 1.8m.Ĭremer says compactness is one of the requirements of the industry. With the hybrid drive system, MegaDrive, axles four and five are hydrostatically driven and will protect the friction clutch from wear. Moreover, compared to its predecessor, the GMK6400-1’s engine and transmission were updated to meet Tier 4 final/ Euromot 5 regulations. Therefore, it has the boom configurator as standard and can optionally be bought with MAXbase that allows asymmetrical outrigger positioning for improved flexibility on job sites as well as increased load charts on the main boom,” says Andreas Cremer, vice president of product management for mobile cranes at Manitowoc. “The GMK6400-1 offers increased reach and comes with the new Manitowoc CCS Crane Control System. There are significant differences between the new model and its predecessor. This model has a main boom of 60m and when fitted with its full complement of jib, it can achieve a maximum tip height of 136m.

In its portfolio XCMG has a wide range of all terrain products, with the largest one having a capacity of 1,200t.Īt this year’s ConExpo, Manitowoc virtually launched the 400t six-axle Grove GMK6400- 1, an update to the GMK6400 introduced in 2010.

This model has a single wishbone independent suspension system offering ground clearance as low as 560mm and an independent suspension bearing capacity of 30t. A special extension boosts the maximum lifting height to 115m, at which the crane can handle loads of up to 62t. The XCA750 has a 92m main boom, which when fully extended can lift up to 107t. As an effect, the demand for wind turbine maintenance has increased significantly the manufacturer estimates that up to 5,000 units could require maintenance every year. XCMG says China’s cumulative installed capacity of wind power has increased by a 32% annual compound rate in the past ten years, with 150,000 onshore wind turbines installed by the end of 2019. The newly-launched model is specially designed for wind turbine maintenance. In June, the first unit of XCMG’s 750t XCA750 all terrain crane was handed over to a customer. However, this has not affected their drive to update their products or introduce new ones. The global demand for high capacity all terrain cranes has been stable, according to the manufacturers. The market for all terrains with capacities of 400t or higher is served by a small number of players, who continuously enhance and update their offering.
