Kato & Tadano show matching truck cranes & RTs in Shanghai
At the Bauma China show in Shanghai, rival Japanese crane manufacturers Kato and Tadano are both showing 70t rough terrain cranes and new traditional truck cranes mounted on Chinese-made carriers.
The Kato NK-550V is a 55t hydraulic truck crane with 43m boom mounted an FAW chassis and FAW Euro Tier III engine with 258kW (at 2,100rpm). A Euro II-compliant engine has been available since 2007; a new version with Tier III engine has just been released. Kato assembles the crane in Japan.
Tadano's truck crane effort comes from its joint venture company in China, BQ Tadano. The GT-750E is the joint venture's largest traditional truck crane, with 75t lifting capacity, 44m boom, on a carrier with 283kW engine built by Chinese partner Beijing Jincheng.
Kato's 70t capacity high-speed rough terrain crane, the SR 700L, is a version of its MK 650 high-speed rough terrain crane, but with left-hand drive for export. It features a 44m boom and 257kW (at 2,200 rpm) engine. Production is expected to begin by April 2009. It features a Euro Tier II engine for primary markets of China and the Middle East.
Tadano's 70t capacity rough terrain crane follows the US design with full-size hubs and tyres, so it is not street-legal. The GR-700EX has a 44m boom and 200kW engine and is wholly made in Japan.
Kato has also released a 30t-capacity truck crane, the NK-300VR, based on the NK-300E, but with new boom, cab and superstructure, and a 30t rough terrain crane with a similar upper design, the SR-300L.
All four Kato cranes come with the MS-200 crane computer with outrigger interlocks and range limitation as standard. None are CE-marked.
Also at the show, Chinese manufacturer Sany is showing a new 100t capacity four-axle truck crane, the QY 100, with 52m boom and ZF 12-speed automatic transmission.
