At Bauma 2016 Kobelco showcased the latest technologies and development in crawler cranes. Kobelco’s Crawler Crane line-up is engineered to be the best in the industry… with many models excelling in multi-purpose applications from general purpose lifting to clamshell, grab, piling and diaphragm wall operations.
At this years’ Bauma KOBELCO introduced 6 new models of the new Mark 2 KOBELCO CKE-G and BME-G Series: CKE800G-2 with 80t x 3.0m max. lifting capacity; CKE900G-2 with 100t x 3.6m, 90t x 3.9m; CKE1100G-2 with 110t x 3.6m; CKE1350G-2 with 150t x 4.4m; CKE2500G-2 with 250t x 4.6m; BME800G-2 with 80t x 3.0m.
Continuing the excellent concept and features of the G-series as it takes over from the first generation, the Mark 2 G-series machines have been improved to be more environmentally-friendly and easy-to-operate.
– Improvement of Lifting Capacity of CKE1350G-2. The CKE1350G-2 of the Mark 2 series provides 150t x 4.4m max. lifting capacity – max. lifting capacity has been improved from 135t to 150t compared to the CKE1350G.
– A New Clean Diesel System. At Bauma 2016 KOBELCO has introduced 6 new models with the new Clean Diesel System Engine with exhaust gas emissions in compliance with EU Stage IV / US EPA Tier 4 Final regulations. The new Clean Diesel System Engine utilizes a DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) to reduce particulate matter(PM) and an SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) to reduce nitrogen oxide, which is also kept to a minimum using negative ions.
– Improvement of energy-saving function G-Mode. All G-Series models are engineered with “G-mode”, 3 energy saving systems from KOBELCO to help conserve energy by reducing fuel consumption.
– Improvement of transportability and assembly. As with previous models, the dimensions and weights of the main machines and all attachments are less than 2.99m width and 45 ton metric tons. In addition, Kobelco has made further refinements to auxiliary platforms and boom insert handling, aimed at improving the speed and safety of the assembly and disassembly of these items.
– The Kobelco Remote Observation Satellite System, or KCROSS, is also standard on G Series models and is a proprietary system that allows remote monitoring of the unit from the owner’s desktop. The G-Series is a “versatile” crane designed to stand front and center in many applications.
