Combination of Power and Speed Makes Every Job Possible

Mounted on caterpillar treads for fast and easy moving across any surface, the crawler cranes are special crane models preferred by many construction companies. Crawler cranes can move on any surface, but are most efficient on the soft surfaces because of the caterpillar treads. As the treads provide incredible stability, the crawler cranes are capable of lifting extremely heavy weights. Some common applications of the crawler cranes are yards, fields, forests and areas with soft surfaces.

The crawler cranes feature a unique combination of power and speed, making them ideal for every job that involves lifting operations. A perfect example of crawler crane with such combination is the Hitachi 250 ton crane. The Hitachi SCX2500LF is an extremely efficient performer used for various lifting tasks. With a 235 kW turbo-charged diesel engine, this crane has a high output and is a very fuel-efficient machine. This 250 ton crane features a winch system with fully independent hydraulic circuit, which enables the crane to perform a variety of jobs. It also has a unique power control system that maximizes the output under all load conditions. Additionally, it has an automatic cooling fan that reduces power losses.

Not only power, this 250 ton crane disposes with an incredible speed due to adopting a variable displacement motor on two operating drums. The Hitachi SCX2500LF reduces the working hours significantly, especially in applications that require heavy loads lifting. It has a smooth swing with a non-step speed control system which additionally increases the speed of the crane and reduces the working hours.

This 250 ton crane is suitable for many applications, because it has enough power to handle even the toughest task in a short period of time. However, a proper controller is required for operation. The Hitachi SCX2500LF has a unique one-handed controller with which both the engine and the pump can be controlled. Also, it has hydraulically assisted drum breaks that reduce the fatigue of the operators. It is optional, but most operators want this feature because it enables less foot power to be used. The result is more comfortable and easy lifting operations.

When thinking about unique combination of power and speed, think about the Hitachi 250 ton crane. It is a perfect example of a crawler crane, suitable for any application.
