TOWER CRANES Ӏ BAUMA 2025


for higher hook heights. Three cross base options are available: 3.8x3.8m, 4.5x4.5m and 6x6m, for maximum hook heights of 42.8m, 54.7m, and 57.1m respectively. The J165.8 comes with


Jaso’s new Horizon cab, which was also launched at Bauma. It includes a diagnosis system and Jaso’s Smartlink cloud-based communication tool. For easier assembly the heaviest component is the slewing platform with tower head (at six tonnes). They can be combed to reduce the number of transport units required. A full top kit can be transported in three lorries. The crane comes with an 'eco'


but says customer demand has


led it to focus on further developing its flat-top range. The J165.8 uses Jaso’s


Optimus Line technology to provide a lifting capacity of eight tonnes and, with a SR/DR trolley, a tip load of 1.76t at the jib’s maximum 60m radius. When in SR reeving mode this increases to 1.92t. The jib starts at 30m and


increases in five metre increments. The short counterjib means the crane’s swing radius with the full boom is just 12.8m. Counterweight slabs are the


‘lay flat’ type. If required, the counterweight can be steel framed for enhanced safety.


A 33hp hoist comes as standard


providing a maximum speed of 66m a minute. A 60hp unit, with a maximum speed of 180m/min, can be specified. Hoist drums can be spec’d with Lebus type grooving. Rope capacity is respectively 548 and 967m.


The crane uses use a standard


1.75x1.75m tower system. Its maximum free-standing height is 50.1m. Jaso is developing the crane to fit the 2.16 tower system

mode. In normal mode the crane runs on full power; switching to eco uses 75 per cent of the power, while 'super eco' mode works with 50% of the normal power consumption. It allows a crane with a bigger hoist motor to also work on less current. This helps on sites with restricted power supply. 'Eco' and 'super eco' modes


reduce the hoist speed but only when hoisting up; when lowering the hook it's the same speed as when working in normal mode. The J165.8 joins the ten-tonne


J200.10 and 12t J235.12. “These models cover the market between the city crane and the low top series,” says area manager Theodor Peter Huitema. “Applications include light weight construction with smaller precast concrete modules or for pouring concrete. “Features include versatility for


multiple applications, optimisation for component weight, plus quick and easy assembly in congested urban areas. “A range of performance control characteristics are available: from micro speed and proportional slew movements to high operating speed and minimal power consumption.”


STAFFORD TOWER CRANES Portugal-based Stafford Tower Cranes showed the first of its new luffing jib tower cranes: the STL257. It’s a 20t lifting capacity crane with a tip load of 3.05t and a 60m jib. It comes with a new cab design and an access lift as standard. Stafford also offers a new


STL757 – a 42t capacity luffer. “It’s so new we haven’t manufactured one yet but the designs are all set to go,” explains sales manager Patrick Stafford III. It has a 70m jib and a 5.8t tip load. “We also have a few smaller luffers in the pipeline,” Patrick Stafford III adds. All Stafford’s cranes between


four and 16t capacity have hydraulic dual operation (flat-top and luffing functions) as a unique design aspect. All its cranes can be supplied


with its ‘Smart-Link’ system, designed for safety and security. “Reception to these cranes has been very good,” says Patrick Stafford III. “We’re focussing on the UK and Ireland markets to start, and then looking to expand to other countries in Europe, as well as in America where we see a growing demand for luffing jib cranes, plus Australia and New Zealand.”


MORITSCH CRANES Italian tower crane manufacturer Moritsch Cranes utilised virtual reality to showcase its portfolio at Bauma, enabling visitors to experience what it’s like to operate its cranes from ground level. Also at the show owner CEO Mariano Moritsch revealed plans to introduce multiple new models in 2025. Three new flat-top models are scheduled to join Moritsch’s RTM range: the RTM 90, RTM 150, and RTM 350 – providing a full portfolio from five to 16t. In Moritsch’s luffing jib


portfolio, it plans to add the 325 A1 – a 15t capacity single
