Kato Cr250rv Load Chart

[Dimple Belousson]

Whenwe purchased Statewide Cranes, we expanded our capabilities, and our fleet in Hobart grew considerably. They were already running a 13t capacity Kato city crane and last year we bought a new Kato CR-130RF because the Kobelcos were getting older, and it was time to upgrade.

More recently, we were looking to purchase a new 20t city crane but came across the Kato CR-250 Rv as an alternative. Although the machine was larger in terms of dimensions, the load chart was far superior and this crane now gives us excellent capabilities in restricted areas, confined work sites etc. If this crane cannot access a site, then our existing 13t Katos will come into the picture.

Featuring several significant changes to meet Australian requirements (including EN13000), the new CR-250Rv is expected to turn heads on its arrival in the Australian workplace says Peter Lawgall, business development manager for Cranes at Tutt Bryant Equipment.

The Kato Super Luffing Fly Jib has only previously been available on the 35t city crane (Japanese domestic model). It is now fitted as standard on the CR-250Rv bringing the maximum rated lifting height, boom plus jib, to 38.4m. The fly jib hydraulically telescopes from 5.3m to 8.2m and can be mounted within a 5.7m area from the slew centre. It is fully powered and can telescope and offset under 100 per cent load.

The cab impresses with an all-round excellent field of view and provides outstanding operator comfort due to the hydro-pneumatic suspension. Furthermore, it has a built-in IC tag providing high-level security, therefore reducing the risk of crane theft.

The two positional offset Searcher Hook is a breakthrough feature for inserting operations. This feature performs best where the height is limited including applications featuring warehouses, balconies and soffits.

We also operate Liebherrs including a 100t and 150t capacity all terrain and we have a number of Groves including 55t, 100t, 150t and 300t capacity all terrain machines. The mix of the fleet really revolves around what cranes we see being as most suitable for our customers today and what will suit the various market sectors we service into the future.
