Designed for operators

North American small-lift mobile crane producer Broderson Manufacturing will introduce two new cab-down rough-terrain cranes and two new carry deck cranes at ConExpo 2017 in Las Vegas. The 20t RT400, featuring a 68ft main boom, and the 25t RT500, with a 76ft main boom, have production delivery dates of March and June 2017 respectively.

The two cranes have compact footprints for use in tight spaces, easy operator exit and entry, Cummins Tier 4 final engine packages and state-of-the-art rated capacity limiter systems (LMI). Air conditioning is standard for operator comfort while precision controls increase performance efficiency.

The RT400 was designed from the ground up, intended to be the preferred replacement for the Galion 150, the 15t cab-down, rough-terrain crane that is no longer produced or supported by the manufacturer.

The RT400 has a similar footprint to the Galion and more power. According to Broderson, the 103gpm redundant dual hydraulic pump design offers nearly twice the hydraulic capacity of competitor models.

The precision controls are easy to service and maintain; the RT500 has many of the design features of the RT400 with the exception of a joystick-operated, electronic control system. These controls are operator preferred on this size of crane.

The RT500 is ideal when a bigger lift chart and longer boom lengths are required.

Broderson is extending its market-leading carry deck crane line with two new models: the IC100, 10t, with 35ft main boom; and the IC600, 30t, with 70ft main boom. Production delivery dates are scheduled for March and August 2017 respectively.

Like the two new RT cranes, these machines have compact footprints for use in tight spaces, easy operator exit and entry, Cummins Tier 4 final engine packages and state-of-the-art rated capacity limiter systems (LMIs). Air conditioning and precision controls are also standard.

The IC600, with its 30t capacity, will be the largest capacity, longest-reach carry deck crane on the market. An electronic joystick operated control system satisfies operator preference over hydraulic controls for a crane of this size.

The IC100 boasts a new boom design mounted to the same rugged structure, power train and hydraulic system of the legendary BMC IC80 workhorse.

Fully hydraulic controls offer smooth and precise operation and are easy to service and maintain.

This new crane delivers ten more tons of capacity for increased performance over the IC80 model.
