Technology Description
CC 38.650-1 Boom Booster: Boom Booster Boosts Stiffness, Enhances Lifting Capacity
The optional Boom Booster kit launches the cost-effective CC 38.650-1 to the next level, enabling it to handle lifts normally requiring 750-tonne class cranes. The Boom Booster increases the main boom’s stiffness, boosting the crane’s lifting capacity up to 65.3%. This affords an impressive maximum hook height of 174.5m and lift loads up to 92.5t, making it ideal for erecting large, tall wind turbines. Kits range in length from 24-102m and mount directly on the crane. Twelve-meter length sections ease transport while the Fall Protection System enhances safety. Available with new cranes or as a retrofit.
CC 68.1250-1 Boom Booster: More lifting capacity, more reach, more cost-effectiveness
The Boom Booster increases the lifting capacity of what is already a powerful crane, the CC 68.1250-1, by up to 30 percent – including at the luffing jib! The kit not only increases the maximum hook height from 180 to 194 m but also the maximum load weight at this hook height from 98 to more than 100 tonnes. This means that the CC 68.1250-1 can erect wind turbines with hub heights of up to 185 meters. One highlight is a design optimized for transportation that makes it possible to split components to reduce their system width of 5.40 meters to a roadworthy 3.50 meters. The Boom Booster is also available both as an accessory for new cranes and as a retrofit for the CC 68.1250-1. Moreover, its future-proof design means that the kit will also be compatible with future crane models in this class.
CC 88.1600-1 Boom Booster: Tackles Steep and Long Boom Configuration Projects
The Boom Booster kit for the CC 88.1600-1 crawler crane boosts performance to new heights, especially when working with steep and long boom configurations. This kit increases the CC 88.1600-1’s lifting capacity by up to 90%, enabling it to outlift any crane within the 1,000-2,000t capacity range, as well as 3,000t capacity range cranes under certain conditions. The CC 88.1600-1 Boom Booster kit is a must-have for heavy lifting applications with long-boom configurations like petrochemical projects, wind turbine erection, and power plant installation. The Boom Booster is available with new cranes or as an existing model retrofit.
