XXL-Crawlercrane from Liebherr
With a new crawlercrane in XXL-size Liebherr wants to compete with the CC 8800-1 Twin from Terex-Demag. The biggest ever built crawlercrane from Liebherr has a maximum load capacity of around 3.000 tonnes with a maximum load moment of nearly 50.000 tonne metres. These parameters make it more than twice as big as the current LR 11350.
The XXL-Crawler will be able to move under full load in complete configuration. Including a new super-heavy-boom, four different boom systems will be available for the crane.
All components have a width for transport under 4 metres with the exception of three units with a width of 4,25 metres. The heaviest part has a weight of 65 tonnes whereas nearly all components including counterweight slabs and power modules are containerized. As assist crane for the assembly a 200 tonnes crane is required. The crane is powered by two Liebherr-made V8 diesel engines.
The production of the boom sections has started in November and the crawlercrane is expected to be assembled for the first time on the testing pad in the second half of 2009.

Terex-Demag introduces CC 9800 crawler crane
This month crane manufacturer Terex-Demag will introduce the new CC 9800 crawler crane at the Zweibrücken factory. The crane is based on the known CC 8800-1. Rope system and hook block are already known from the bigger CC 8800-1 Twin. The new 1600 tonne crawler crane uses a 4 m wide boom system in order to gain a maximum load moment of 27000 tonne metres with attached superlift counterweight of 800 tonnes. The longest possible boom configurations are 156 m for the main boom and 120 m for the luffing jib. In combination the maximum lenght for the SWSL configuration is 108 + 120 m.
With 132 m of main boom and 18 m extension the crane fits perfectly for the assembly of the new Enercon E 126 wind turbines. This allows impressing lifting capacities of 360 tonnes to a hook height of 144 m.
The first customer, Sarens Group from Belgium, will take delivery of the new crane in January 2009. A second unit was already ordered from wind turbine manufacturer Enercon.

Terex Demag AC 120-1 for M&M Crane hire
M&M Crane hire from the UK added a new Terex-Demag AC 120-1 to its fleet of cranes. A Terex-Demag AC 200-1 is already part of the fleet.
New CC 2400-1 from Demag
As recently published by International Cranes, Terex-Demag in Germany will launch a new 400 tonne capacity crawler crane, the CC 2400-1. The new crane is being developed out of the CC 2200’s crawler chassis and will have a completely new boom system, Terex-Demag said. Maximum load moment of the “world” crane, designed for all markets, will be 5150 tonne-metres.
Features of the new crawler include variable superlift radius, variable main boom offset in SW (heavy main boom and luffing fly jib) and SWSL (SW with superlift) configurations, and the touchscreen IC-1 control system. Superlift radius can be adjusted from 9 to 15 m. In SWSL the main boom length is between 36 and 96 m and fly jib length is from 24 to 84 m. In main-boom-only SSL/LSL configuration maximum boom length is 126 m. In main boom-only SSL configuration it is 96 m, where, with superlift at 15 m radius the preliminary technical data sheet shows that at a maximum radius of 80 m, with 160 tonnes of counterweight and central ballast, the CC 2400-1 will lift 42 tonnes through 360 degrees. On a 54 m main boom, at a radius of 34 m, the chart shows a maximum load of 140 tonnes. The maximum 400 tonne capacity in SSL is achieved out to 12 m on a 42 m main boom.
The complete machine, including 100 tonnes of counterweight, 24 m of boom, and hook block, weighs 233 tonnes. For transport, the superstructure with three winches, hydraulic A-frame, carbody and self-assembly equipment weighs 59.6 tonnes. Each crawler is 23.4 tonnes, 10.25 m long and 1.3 m wide. The company’s previous 400 tonner was the Demag CC 2400 last produced in the early 1990s. Deliveries of the new CC 2400-1 are due to start early in 2006.

Terex-Demag in 108m wind power lift contract
A Terex-Demag CC 8800 crawler crane, providing a lifting capacity of up to 1,250t and boom lengths of up to 216m has been used to help build the first German near-shore wind-power project, which has been put into service by wind power installation designer ENOVA. The height of the hub is 108m, rotor blades are 53m in length, and the weight of the steel tower is 850t.
Engineers in charge of the project called upon Belgium-based crane operator Sarens claimed to be the only European company to have a Terex-Demag CC 8800 to help with the assembly. Apart from the sheer dimensions, the location in the middle of the Ems River also constituted a challenge. The crane and all power plant components had to be loaded onto a pontoon in order to complete the assembly.
The tower components were completed first. Subsequently, the plant's engine carrier, generator, hub and rotor blades were mounted at height. For these tasks the crane was configured SSL/ LSL at a system length of 138m. The Superlift counterweight of 400t complemented the 100t central weight at height and the 220t counterweight. Terex-Demag said that, with 92 offshore plants projected in the North Sea, its CC 8800 would play an important role in the future.

New 250 tons telescopic crane by Terex
Terex-Demag is working on a new 250 tons telescopic crane. The outstanding characteristic of this new 6-axle crane ought to be the 80 m (262,46 ft.) telescopic boom. Referring to the preliminary data the AC 250-1 will reach a radius of 74 m (242.78 ft.) with this boom. Using 96,6 tons of counterweight the maximum load at this radius will be 1,6 tons (1,76 US-tons). With the additional 36 m (118,11 ft.) of main boom extension the crane will reach a maximum boom length of 114 m (374 ft.) The extension can be tilted from 0° to 40°. For indoor working a 2-sheaved runner is available.
Caused by the speed-dependent steering the Carrier offers a high manoeuvrability and stability. The compact carrier is less than 15 m (49,21 ft.) long. The crane control system is the innovative IC-1 first shown at Bauma 2001. The AC 250-1 will be powered by an 8-cylinder Daimler-Chrysler diesel engine in the carrier and a 6-cylinder Daimler-Chrysler diesel engine for the upper structure. The first official presentation of the crane will be at Bauma 2004 in Munich.

CC 1500 :The new CC 1500 is a crawler crane based on the technology of the very successful CC 1800-1 but in a lighter version without Superlift attachment. The crane has a max. lifting capacity of 300 US-tons. This crane has been developed mainly for the US market to compete against the Manitowoc 999 and the Liebherr LR 1280 but is also very interesting for customers all over the world.
AC 110: The new AC 110 combines the practice-proven technology of the AC 100 with the outstanding new technology of the AC 160-1. The crane features a powerful superstructure, a 50 m main boom, and the 33 m boom extension of the renowned 100-tonner. To satisfy the US road regulations, the crane is equipped with the newly developed carrier of the 160-tonner with special US axle configuration and axle loads of less than 10 t. The carrier features the new speed-dependent rear axle steering and thus sets new standards in terms of both travel convenience and maneuverability.
AC 200-1: The new AC 200-1 with its 68 m boom is the longest in its category and provides a tremendous system length of 100 m. This is a very strong and versatile crane with 4 outrigger positions as standard, featuring the new electro-hydraulic rear axle steering and the ingenious crane control system IC-1.
AC 160-1: The new AC 160-1 is the little brother of the AC 200-1. The technology and many of its features are very similar to the AC 200-1, the boom length is 64 m with a system length of 96 m. Compared to the AC 200-1, this crane is roadable with 2.1 t of counterweight while axle loads keep within the 12 t limit. The AC 160-1 is one of the world’s first cranes that have been designed to satisfy most of the road regulations all over the world, using a special axle configuration for the carrier.
