2018 Kobelco Crawler Crane CK850G

The Kobelco CK850G Crawler Crane is designed from the ground up for reliable operation, convenient maintenance and easy transport. The CK850G features a new engine that complies with the latest EPA Interim Tier IV standards. The cranes have also been designed with new energy saving assist systems known as the G-modes, which can achieve up to a 30% savings in fuel consumption. The G-modes include the auto idle stop system, energy saving winch control system, and the engine RPM limitation system. Other re-design features of the new G series includes: compact structure allowing for greatly improved transportability, larger cab design, LMI touch screen, counterweight detection device, improved counterweight self installation mechanism, and newly improved (short) control levers. Kobelco is renowned for smart engineering and an unwavering focus on creating the best value package for lifting solutions.

Features may include:

• The G-series cab has been completely re-designed to give the operators better visibility, mobility, and a relaxed environment to enhance efficiency. The new cab design is on an isolated cab base frame which reduces vibration during crane operation.

• The increased space from 77.34' to 109.5', gives the operator more room in which to perform crane operations, also adding more leg room and a wider cab door for ease of entry.

• The cabs front glass has been increased up from 10.8' to 11.7', adding an expanded field of view which provides improved operating conditions, increasing safety and operability.

• The repositioned and shortened levers, with easily held grips, allow for precise operation and ensures a smooth and consistent performance.

• The upper frame is fabricated from all-welded alloy steel and is CAD designed for durable strength.

• Kobelcos oil cooled wet-type multi-disc brake system provides quiet, dependable braking power. Multiple discs are self-adjusting and self equalizing, minimizing maintenance requirements. Forced oil circulation keeps brake temperatures cooler during long, continuous operations and maximizes smooth brake operation. The completely sealed system eliminates the possibility of outside contamination, providing years of problem-free service life. The low brake pedal effort reduces operator fatigue when machine is working in the free-fall mode.

• The powerful winches boast a rated single line pull, reducing the number of parts of line involved and improving hoisting speed. The result is dynamic lift and continuous trouble-free operations.

• Kobelcos innovative internal disc brake system allows for the use of full functioning drums, reducing the chance of uneven winding, while extending the service life of the wire rope. An optional third drum is full functioning as well, allowing for more attachment options and better operation coordination.

• Kobelco Cranes feature an all-welded, high-tensile strength steel carbody, manufactured in a single piece using the latest CAD technologies for unmatched rigidity. The crawler assembly consists of an idler wheel, lower rollers, the travel motor assembly, upper rollers, and flat shoes on each side.

• Independently driven hydraulic travel motors with planetary reducers provide three steering modes for optimal on-site maneuverability. In addition to conventional skid steering, the independent crawler drive enables counter-rotation of the tracks as well as differential track speed steering.
