Sennebogen in Germany has expanded its telescopic boom crawler crane range upwards with a new top model.

The range-topping 6203 E has a capacity rating of 200 tonnes and a 78 metre maximum reach. It is the tenth telescopic boom model in the range. Typical applications include heavy precast concrete construction, bridges and infrastructure and as a service crane in the wind energy industry.

Its six-section pinned boom extends to 56.4 metres. To further increase boom rigidity each telescopic section has a pinning point at 90 per cent extension. It means lifting capacity is “extremely impressive even at great lengths,” Sennebogen said.

An optional hydraulically adjustable jib increases the reach to 78 metres. A range of 16 preset Extend Modes simplify length adjustment. These modes can be switched which saves time when reconfiguring.

Pick and carry

At short boom lengths, on uneven ground and in pick and carry operation, the new crane has lifting charts for lifting out of level at up to 4 degrees. For pick and carry duty it can travel with 100 % of the specified load capacity on the hook and can slew those loads through 360 degrees.

Maximum track width of the undercarriage is 6 metres which can be reduced hydraulically to a minimum of 3.5 metres. Transport width is 3 metres, without the crawler tracks, and it can be moved in seven loads.

Power for the 6203 E is from a194 kW EU Stage V diesel engine. As with the other Sennebogen models with Stage V emissions standard engines, this latest one can be fuelled by HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil).

The hydraulic winches each offer a maximum line pull of 135 kN and a rope speed up to 115 m/min.

Keep it simple

A ‘keep it simple’ approach helps make the crane easier to maintain. Hydraulics and electrics are still used “where electronics offer no added value,” the company said. Service points are designed for easy access and components are labelled to help speed up servicing and minimise downtime.

Commenting on his latest crane launch Erich Sennebogen, managing director, said, “Sennebogen has over 33 years of experience with mobile and telescopic crawler cranes. One market trend that we are now observing is the growing demand for large telescopic crawler cranes. To meet this demand, we are now expanding our range significantly upwards with the new 200 tonne crane.”

See the new tele crawler crane at the Bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany, 7 to 13 April, where it will be shown for the first time, at stand FM.712. ICST guide to the show.
