The new rough terrain will come in towards the high end of Terex’s range, in the 70-90t capacity class, with a long main boom for its size. Terex has focused on keeping ownership costs down, designing the crane for easy transport within a 3m transport width. Integrated diagnostics on the crane contribute to long uptime between maintenance.
The crane also offers benefits to the operator. The tilting cab, taking on the standardized Terex look, offers improved comfort and visibility. The crane’s flat deck allows for easy access to the cab. On the job site, multiple steering modes are available, offering versatile travel options. A new control system contributes to easy and powerful lifting performance. An optional indefinite outrigger positioning system will help with set up on restricted sites.
The new flat top tower in the CTT range is designed for work on buildings up to 90 stories high, with more than 700m of rope on the drum and a maximum capacity of 16t. At the crane’s maximum radius of 75m, it will be able to lift 3t.
The crane is designed for easy assembly. A single 17.5m modular counterjib can be used across all configurations. On the front, 10 working radii are available, from 30m-75m. Three types of tower, with sections in 3m, 6m and 12m options, include built in aluminium ladders and service platforms. Internal and external climbing options are available.
The EVO15 operators cab is designed for comfort and productivity. Adjustable trolley speeds will allow for efficient load control. Terex will also be announcing changes across its all terrain line up. At the lowest end of the range, it will show one of its compact 40t cranes, with a long main boom and compact design for easy access on job sites. Next up will be a member of its three axle Challenger line. Again, this crane offers the longest boom in its class, while still being compact enough for working inside buildings, on tasks like press or overhead crane installations.
The biggest news though will come with the five-axle range. Terex has promised a special announcement for these cranes. New products in the line will include 130t, 220t, and 250t cranes. All of the cranes in the line are designed for easy set up, with automated counterweight rigging and automated leveling. Terex has paid close attention to the risks posed to riggers and operators when working at height, with walkways, handrails and access ladders designed to keep them safe from falls.
The cranes are designed for global use, with the latest compliant engine technology and variable axle load configurations making them suitable for all markets. With just one engine for travel and lifting, fuel consumption, maintenance and service costs are kept down. The cranes are compact, and can work with asymmetric outriggers, allowing access to the narrowest job sites.
As well as these new cranes, Terex will be showing off a new approach to operator training, that promises to provide a safe way to experience real job site conditions.
