The crane is a beefed-up version of the SCX900-2, and consequently offers a maximum linepull of 25t on front and rear winches with 28mm rope, compared with 20t for the SCX900-2. Its engine, the 272kW Mitsubishi 6M70-TL engine (at 2,000 rpm) is larger than the 212kW (at 2,000 rpm) Isuzu 6HK1X engine on the SCX900-2.
The winches also use a multiple wet-disc brake and forced-oil cooling system for cool operation of challenging jobs like hammer grab.
Previously, the company’s next-largest heavy-duty crane was the 80t capacity SCX800HD-2, which has a maximum line pull of 20t.
The SCX900HD-2 has a basic boom length of 12m, and maximum boom of 60m. The company said it expects to sell 20 machines per year, at JPY 111m (USD 1.12m).
