PICK & CARRY CRANES Ӏ SECTOR REPORT
for construction, industrial
and yard applications where space is limited. It has a turning radius of 6.77m, a three-section 14.2m boom with a manually-extended fourth section to 18.23m, and a short extension that takes the maximum tip height to 20.8m. Safety technology includes anti- tipping, overload protection, and a monitoring system with Franna’s Dynamic LMI – for which, see below, and the box. Franna is also marketing an international version of the crane, the FR17 C, in Africa, South America and the UAE. “Our success in India has provided us with a scalable model for sustainable growth,” said
Franna’s FR17
Jaideep Shekhar, vice president & managing director, Terex Materials Processing. “We’re also putting these learnings into practice in the Southeast Asia market, which has similar infrastructure demands and customer profiles.” To which end,
STRONG PICK AND CARRY CAPABILITIES FROM SENNEBOGEN’S LATEST TELESCOPIC CRAWLER CRANE
Manufacturer Sennebogen’s new 6203 E telescopic crawler crane, launched at Bauma, is the largest and most powerful model in the series of ten telecrawlers that Sennebogen manufactures. It has a six-section pin boom that can be extended up to 56.4m. With the addition of a hydraulically adjustable fly jib this can be extended to 78m. With short boom lengths, and at inclinations of up to four degrees, the crane is also powerful,
says Sennebogen. This makes it particularly suitable for pick and carry operations, as well as tasks on uneven construction sites. Pick and carry capabilities are further enhanced by the crane’s robust undercarriage and high load capacities in the inclined position, where it can travel with 100% of the specified load capacity on the hook. It can also slew the specified load capacities a full 360 degrees. The 1,000mm double grouser track shoes fitted as standard offer stability and minimise floor pressure, says Sennebogen. For more sensitive surfaces, durable polyamide plates can also be used as an option to prevent damage. Overseeing these capabilities is a completely
redesigned machine control system: the SLC - SENCON Load Control machine control system. To make operating the crane as comfortable as possible for the operator, a separate control system with its own screen has been integrated into the cab in accordance with automotive standards. The new system is an addition to the existing
SENCON (Sennebogen Control System) and provides all valuable data on the lifting process on a large display in addition to the load moment limitation. The extend modes can also be set here. There is also a floor pressure display calculated in real time. The telescopic crawler undercarriage has a
maximum track width of 6.0m, which can be reduced to up to 3.5m depending on the requirements of the construction site.
in May, Franna appointed Aidan O’Neill to the new role of regional sales manager for Southeast Asia. He will be based in Malaysia. Franna also has eyes on North America. In March this year it launched a new model aimed at that market. Again it is a 17-tonne crane, which works out at 19 US tons. The FR19 US joins the 20 tonne/24 ton AT24 US model, which was introduced in 2023 and, like its older brother, is an articulated model.
The FR19 US can handle its
maximum capacity at 1.5m from the centre of the front wheels. It has an 18.2m four-section boom with a 2.6m jib attachment that takes the maximum tip height to 22.5m. Maximum forward reach on the main boom is 16.35m. The forward reach with jib installed is 18.6m. The crane is powered by a
121hp Tier 4F Cummins diesel engine, driving a four speed powershift transmission. The front is rigid mounted to give a maximum road speed of 35kph/22 mph. Overall chassis length is 6.13m and length from rear bumper to boom tip is 9.7m, with an overall width of 2.45m. Overall height is just under three metres. This compact size and
articulated steering system allow navigation through tight spaces and the precise manoeuvring and placement of loads. A high seated position and single lift cylinder gives the operator good visibility,
