Fuwa
Chinese manufacturer Fuwa will be displaying its QUY50 crawler crane, with a maximum lifting capacity of 50t or a load moment of 185mt (kN M 1815). Fuwa says that applications for the QUY50 crawler include lifting and installation jobs on construction sites, factory work, dockside and mining.

A mechanical grab is available as an option to enable the crane to do earth moving and stacking work. Fuwa makes some of the structural parts in-house, allowing for convenient maintenance. The main components of power system and hydraulic system are imported from the USA and Germany, Fuwa says. Fuwa designs the QUY50 with a free fall function is intended to save fuel consumption and boost work efficiency, as well as a swing float function, making operation steadier and safer.

Boom lengths of the QUY50 range from 13m-52m. Jibs with capacities of 4t are available with lengths ranging from 9.15m-15.25m. The boom reaches elevating angles ranging from 0-80 degrees. QUY50 is designed for easy operation, stable travel and easy set up, exerting a mean ground pressure of MPa 0.069, reaching travel speeds of 1.1km per minute and with a minimum turning radius of about 3m. The weight of the crawler when it is configured with a main hook block and 13m boom is 48.5t. Its dimensions are 11.5m long, 3.4m wide, and 3.4m high. The crane also uses pilot proportional control, which the company says makes it one of the first uses of this feature in crawler cranes manufactured domestically.

Ivanovskaya Marka
Crane manufacturer Ivanovskaya Marka will launch a new range of 10 truck cranes with oviform booms, which it says is a new feature for Russia.

Produced at the Avtokran plant in Ivanovo, the new booms significantly improve the cranes lifting capacity and capabilities.

Upgraded truck cranes with lifting capacities of 16, 25, 35, 40 and 50t will be shown at the exhibition.

All the truck cranes are equipped with an upgraded operator’s cabin. The first such cabins were mounted on the cranes at the beginning of 2012. The upgraded cabins provide better visibility, improved cabin ventilation and additional protection from falling objects, the company said.

Ivanovskaya Marka will also present a line of producible crane-manipulators, intended for operations with extra hazardous loads with weight of up to 8.7USt. The company will demo its cranes in an open area in sector E1 within its 3,500 sq m exposition area.

Liebherr
Liebherr will be presenting the 8t (8,000kg) version of its 130 EC-B flat top tower crane. The 130 EC B 8 FR.tronic has a maximum lifting capacity of and a maximum working radius of 60 m.

From the company’s mobile crane segment, an LTM 1500-8.1 and an LTM 1350-6.1 plus some smaller models will be on display.

With the 130 EC B 8 FR.tronic, all loads are carried exclusively in two-line mode.

The maximum lifting capacity at the jib head of 1.3t (1,300kg) at a working radius of 60m allows effective load handling.

The jib length can be configured as required in increments of 2.5m between 20m and 60m. With the continuous 37kW FC hoist gear, the crane crane reach hook heights of up to 190m and speeds of up to 105m per minute.

Like all the other Liebherr flat-top cranes, the 130 EC B 8 FR.tronic is modular in design.

The company offers a simplified Connect and Work assembly system on the 130 EC-B 8 FR.tronic and all of its other flat-tops.

The Connect and Work system includes quick connectors for the jib and counter-jib, the patented LiConnect jib quick connector and electrical connectors for the drive units and switching system.

Base mounting options for the flat top include foundation anchors, on a cruciform base, or so that it runs on rails.

The compact head characteristic of Liebherr flat-top cranes also helps make assembly fast and simple, Liebherr says.

The compact head, able to be installed on the crane in a single lift, contains the hoist gear, the switch cabinet, the slewing gear, the slewing ring and support, as well as the current collector. The electrical connections are made using simple plug-in connectors.

Zoomlion
As part of its new partnership with Zoomlion, Global Crane Sales will have the 287USt QUY260 Crawler Crane on display on its CTT Stand.

While the crawler is currently not available to buy within Russia, Zoomlion intends to show it at CTT to give an example of Zoomlion cranes that may be released in the future in the region, Global Crane Sales says. The QUY260 is currently available to buy in the North America.

Zoomlion designed the QUY260 for a variety of applications including general construction, construction of windmills, as well as oil rigs and refineries. The QUY260is engineered for capacity and constructed from imported high-strength steel.

QUY260 was the first of many Zoomlion cranes to meet ANSI standards, making it suitable for international markets. Today all Zoomlion cranes are CE-certified and meet ANSI standards, says Global Crane Sales.

European- and American-engineered components included in the crawler are its hydraulic and electric components are Linde pumps, a PAT/Hirschmann LMI system, Pfeifer wire rope and Rexroth motors. The crawler is powered with a Cummins QSL9- C305 diesel engine.

Maximum lifting capacity with the luffing jib it is 81USt, and 37.5USt with the fixed jib. Main boom lengths range from 65.6-272.3ft. Extended-reach booms are additionally available, featuring optional extension from 282.2-311.7ft.

Rapid lifting is possible thanks to the main and auxiliary hoist winch speeds reaching approximately 361ft per minute.

The QUY260 includes a micromotion feature that delivers smooth operation, whether lifting, loading or changing direction, Zoomlion says.

The electronically-controlled motor offers variable speed control to maximize efficiency load of varying sizes. In addition a camera surveillance system enhances visibility.

Zoomlion has engineered the operator’s control cab in the QUY260 for maximum comfort with ergonomic design, adjustable seats and air conditioning.

The cab has the ability to be pitched upward by 20 degrees, enhancing operator visibility and reducing fatigue, says Global Crane Sales.

An electric monitoring system displays the hydraulic circuit’s working pressure, total working time, engine speed, oil pressure and fuel level. The crane also features anti-tipping devices, as well as a limit-position alarm system for the boom.

The QUY260 has been designed for easy assembly of the track frame, ballast weight, counterweight and boom frame with its own mechanisms. The track and frame are connected by a hydraulic circular drive pin.
