TELESCOPIC CRAWLER CRANES Ӏ FEATURE


Van Santen says that the addition of the crane to its fleet is helping it meet increasing demand from its clients for sustainable solutions. Sany’s flagship electric telecrawler available in Europe is the 80 tonne SCE800 TB-EV which launched at Bauma 2022. In 2024 Latvian crane company


Heavy Cranes, which is also Sany’s official dealer in the region, bought two units, while Dutch foundation specialist Kandt ordered one at the start of the year. It is the first electric telecrawler the company owns. At the end of 2024 Dutch lifting


and transport company Herpertz Crane Rental ordered its second SCE800 TB-EV.


The crane has a five-section,


47 metre telescopic boom and a maximum load moment of 300 tonne-metres. It is powered by a 282 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack and utilises a 600 Volt DC permanent magnet main drive motor from Danfoss. On the other side of the world,


in Australia, Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift (TBHL&S) bought the first Sany SCC400TB-EV cranes in the country. The crane order comprises several units which are being utilised within TBHL&S’s own fleet with the rest for sale. The 40-tonne capacity battery-


electric telecrawler offers smooth operation and is user-friendly, says TBHLS. “The working time for each cycle of the 210 kWh battery is way beyond our expectation,” says Trevor Haylot state manager for Queensland at TBHL&S. “It was stated as being eight hours but we’re finding it easily lasts more than a day-and- a-half.”


VALUING VERSATILITY Versatility is another important characteristic of telecrawlers. They combine the robustness of crawler

cranes, excelling on rough terrain, with the ability to move with loads as seen in pick and carry cranes. This versatility is a key feature highlighted by USA-based Shirley Contracting Company of Lorton, Virginia, which is using a 140-ton (127 tonne) TCC-1400 from Link-Belt Cranes to assist the construction of an express lane extension project in Tysons Corner, Virginia. “At the end of the day we want the right machine for the job and we really value versatility,” said Shirley Contracting equipment manager Patrick Crocker. As part of the project, which looks to extend northbound Interstate 495 express lanes to the Maryland state border, the TCC-1400 is picking sound wall panels and posts and driving abutment pile to create a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall, showcasing its functionality across jobs. With a project scope that extends close to two miles, Crocker said the TCC-1400’s reach and


transportability distinguishes it from other cranes. “The 1400 sits on a job right


now doing the work of three rough terrain cranes,” Crocker said. “On this type of job it’s a hell of a lot more productive.” Aside from picking and placing


the 8-by-20-foot sound wall panels, weighing 19,000 lbs each, and driving pile for the project, the TCC-1400 helped with box culvert replacements, as well, further displaying its versatility. Crocker said the TCC-1400


has proven itself time and time again to be indispensable on the job, leading him to believe more purchases are in the pipeline. “Given the track record with this crane I wouldn’t be surprised if we purchased more,” Crocker said. The TCC-1400 is one of seven


Link-Belt machines owned by the company which has been buying Link-Belts for many years. “In fact, the very first crane the company purchased was a Link-Belt, an LS-108 lattice crane, which we still own,” Crocker added.
