Terex Cranes in Italy has announced three new tower cranes, including the company’s first hydraulic luffer, to broaden its offering. 

The manufacturer previewed the cranes at an event held at the factory in Northern Italy on October 10.

Largest of the three is the 13.2 ton capacity CTLH 192-12 hydraulic luffer, the first of its type from this manufacturer. Maximum jib length is 180 feet, at the end of which capacity is 2.6 tons.

Its out of service radius when parked is 26 feet. It can be mounted on the HD23, TS23, TS21 or H20 tower masts. The hoist winch is 67 kW and the hydraulic luffing mechanism is 30 kW. Features of the control system include Terex Power Plus and Terex Power Match. Easy set up is promised and Terex said it is ready for fitment of anti-collision and zoning systems. It uses the T-Link telematics platform and has the S-Pace cabin.

The new CTT 172-8 flat top is an 8.8 ton (on four falls of rope) with a maximum jib of 213 feet. The 4.4 ton version on two falls of rope lifts its maximum out to a radius of more than 82 feet. Maximum freestanding height is 213 feet. Compatible tower sections are TS16 – TS21 and the other control system features are as per the hydraulic luffer.
