SECTOR REPORT Ӏ TELECRAWLERS
at the European market and continues the same tried and tested technology as the company’s G series lattice boom crawler crane models. Compared with conventional telescopic crawlers it has a larger engine capacity, says Kobelco, a shorter boom length with a higher winch capacity on standard main/ auxiliary winches, and stronger, thicker, wire ropes. All of which gives the crane a higher capability for foundation works. It can be equipped with vibration hammers, auger drills, and hammer-grabs. The TKE750G has an
exceptionally stiff four-plate box structural boom which, again, has been specially designed with foundation work in mind. The short boom length, with a side deflection-resistant fully powered boom, makes the crane well-suited to working on compact jobsites says Kobelco.
The main and auxiliary winches
are positioned vertically at the rear end of the machine, helping maintain a compact main body. The 22mm diameter wire rope has 7.0 tonnes of rated line pull. The TKE750G is powered by a Mercedes-Benz E9H01 (Daimler
OM936LA) 7.697l water-cooled, in-line six-cylinder direct injection and turbo-charged engine, with a rated power output of 254kW/2,000 min-1, compliant with NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery - Europe) EU Stage V regulations. This degree of power output offers higher hydraulic performance which, Kobelco says, is especially important during foundation operation. Kobelco's KCROSS (Kobelco
Crane Remote Observation Satellite System) is retained on the TKE750G model. Machines fitted with KCROSS transmit

WIND WORK Liebherr has also expanded its telecrawler range, in this case with a 150-tonne machine: the LTR 1150. With windfarm work in mind, Liebherr’s engineers have prioritised the crane’s transportability, control at hight, and pick and carry capabilities. The LTR 1150 is positioned between the LTR 1100 and the LTR 1220. In launching it Liebherr says it is responding to the requirements of crane operators faced with lifting jobs that are beyond the capacities of the former but for which the LTR 1220 is overkill. The new crane offers around 50 per cent more lifting capacity than the LTR 1100; despite this increase, however, Liebherr says it can be transported just as easily and economically as its 100-tonne sibling. Complete with crawler carriers on low loaders it comes in at a total weight of 60 tonnes and a transport width of 3.5 metres. Optionally the crawler carriers can be removed for transport which results in a weight of just
