Kobelco SL 6000 for China
Chinese crane hire company Lai Wu Tang FA Qi Zhong Yun Ye You Xiang Gonsi has bought a second 550 tonnes crawler crane SL 6000 from Kobelco. The company already owns a CKE2500-2 and a 7250-2F from Kobelco.
550 tonne crawler crane from Kobelco
Kobelco is testing the new lattice crawler crane type SL 6000 with a maximum load moment rating of 6,000 tonne-metres. The new crane is designed for the world market for construction work in power plants, petrochemical plants, ports, shipbuilding and wind turbine erection. Part of the redesign of the crane range from Kobelco is of modular design for easy transport, assembly and dismantling. Refering to Kobelco, the SL 6000 will be in competition to the crawler cranes in the range of 600 tons. It will be deliverable with a luffing jib, a derrick mast and a counterweight tray.
Manitowoc and Kobelco extend alliance to Europe
The OEM agreement that sees Manitowoc selling Kobelco lattice boom crawler cranes in its own colours is being extended to Europe, the two companies announced during the Conexpo show in Las Vegas. As in the Americas region, Kobelco will supply Manitowoc with cranes up to 100t (110 US ton) capacity. Manitowoc will add Kobelco’s 55t, 80t, 90t and 100t capacity models to its product offering in Europe from July. Kobelco will continue to sell in competition with Manitowoc in Europe, just as it does in the Americas.
Last year Kobelco was the crawler crane market leader in Europe, taking more than a third of all sales. A particularly strong seller was the the 80t class CKE 800. Manitowoc Crane Group president Glen Tellock said: “Manitowoc Crane Group is very excited about our expanding relationship with Kobelco Cranes. The fact is that both companies have a similar outlook on customers, products, and service. These similarities have allowed us together to find ways to better serve our customers.” Kobelco Cranes president Takashi Ishida said: “We recently held a launching ceremony for Kobelco branded all-terrain cranes for the Japanese market, supplied by Manitowoc [Grove]. Our customers are showing good response to the newly introduced models. I truly believe that Manitowoc is the best alliance partner in the industry.”
