Terex brings luffing jib to 300t class Demag ATs
28 June 2017 by Sotiris KanarisTerex has launched a new 300t six-axle Demag AC 300-6 all-terrain crane, featuring an 80m (262.5ft) main boom. It is the first crane of its size in the Demag range equipped with a luffing jib.
The 80m main boom can perform jobs at heights up to 78m or 74m radius without rigging a jib.
It is ideal for tower crane erection, with lifting capacity of 15t on fully-telescoped 80m main boom.
The Demag AC 300-6 is the smallest in the Demag range that can be outfitted with a luffing jib for superior reach and fly-over capabilities, bringing the maximum system length to 118m. The luffing jib rigging system is the same as on the AC 350-6 and AC 1000-9 cranes.
The machine features the IC-1 Plus control system and a single engine with an intelligent motor management system.
“The Demag AC 300-6 is fitted with a single engine, with start and stop function to reduce idle times and total engine hours contributing to the reduction of fuel costs and preserving the crane’s residual value,” said Terex.
It uses a high number of interchangeable parts with the Demag five-axle family all terrain cranes. The 21m double folding main boom extension of the five axle Demag cranes is compatible with the AC 300-6.
The compact design of the AC 300-6 features a carrier length of 15.3 m and a width of 3m.
On the road, the Demag AC 300-6 crane meets axle load limits from below 12t (13.2 USt) up to 16t and can travel up to 85 km/h (53 mph). It also has 800 kg of extra payload capacity for carrying extra lifting accessories.
It includes an axle load monitor, displayed on the dashboard, to help customers drive within the road-legal weight.
This model, like all Demag cranes in this product family, can be configured to comply with the variable axle weight limits in most states of North America and many other countries by connecting different types of boom dollies or removing the boom.
