Kobelco launches new telescopic boom crawler

Tokyo, Japan-headquartered crane manufacturer Kobelco has announced the launch of the TKE750G, a new telescopic boom crawler crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 75 tonne for the European market.

The crane is equipped with an EU Stage V-compliant Mercedes-Benz E9H01 (Daimler

OM936LA) engine and continues the same tried and tested technology as its G series lattice boom crawler crane models. The TKE750G will be available from mid-2024 onwards.

According to Kobelco the crane is well-suited to foundation work and it can be equipped with vibration hammers, auger drills, and hammer-grabs.

It also has a larger engine capacity, shorter boom length with a higher winch

capacity on standard main/auxiliary winches, and stronger, thicker, wire ropes offering a higher capability of foundation works in comparison with conventional telescopic crawlers, claims Kobelco. The TKE750G is equipped with an exceptionally stiff four-plate box structural boom that has been designed for foundation work.

Kobelco says the boom's light weight and durability have been achieved through optimising materials, construction, and welding.

Thanks to the short boom length with a side deflection-resistant fully powered boom, the

crane is well-suited to working on compact jobsites. It is equipped with a 22mm diameter wire rope with a 7.0 tonne rated line pull. The main and auxiliary winches are positioned vertically at the rear end of the machine, helping maintain a compact main body.

The TKE750G is powered by a Mercedes-Benz E9H01 (Daimler OM936LA) 7.697l

water-cooled, in-line six-cylinder direct injection and turbo-charged engine, with a rated power output of 254kW/2,000 min-1, that is compliant with NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery - Europe) EU Stage V regulations. According to Kobelco the powerful engine offers higher hydraulic performance which, it says, is especially important during foundation operation.

Kobelco's KCROSS (Kobelco Crane Remote Observation Satellite System) is also retained on the TKE750G model. Machines fitted with KCROSS transmit working conditions, locations, and maintenance history to provide owners with fact-based information for their asset management.
