So did anyone see that new 60 ton boom truck that terex unveiled? http://www.machinerytrader.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=7774473& I am a boom truck guy, but it seems that mounting bigger cranes on these conventional trucks will have its problems. I wonder how it performs under cyclic work. Atleast the x-style outriggers should be able to reduce stress on the frame.
looks like a HUGE outrigger spread. At that point you would be better served by buying a true 60 ton crane.
http://www.demag24.com/en/idc03/groups/webcontent/documents/web_content/ucm02_023234.pdf strange outrigger pattern. It may be easier to get from job to job, I don't know if it could pull it's own trailer to haul counter weights and mats, which could be a plus. So there wouldn't be a need for a move truck.
well to get the permits here in CA to be road legal it would have to have a fixed weight. You can run a 60ton with full counterweights here. I know guys that pull their little pickups behind cranes but i don't know if they go through scales with them on. I own a boom truck i see their usefulness but these guynormus boom trucks are bordering on to big to be a useful boom truck in places a crane would be more practical
In my opinion these are pointless with limited hauling space on the bed, not to mention limited hauling weight and the fact that its a truck and you'd have to keep it inspected. Might as well have a purpose built truck crane. That being said, I'd say its a good crane design, just doesn't make sense on the road.
The 40 ton national the company has an outrigger span or 24 and 1/2 feet , The span on that 60 ton is 24 feet . Must be the different design giving the illusion of being bigger
Im pretty sure we can expect a 65 or 70 ton boom truck at ISA this year
made by who?
This boom truck is nominated for one of our Contractors Top 50 Products for 2012 . Stop by and take a look. A five-star review of one of these products is a vote to include it in the Top 50 construction machines of the past 12 months. Thanks, Larry
That's suprising for me. Crossover is somehow interesting, but still. Havent had worked with it though. Maybe i will tell the boss to buy one , or better to use an All Erection & Crane Rental company, because he is so cheap. It would be nice to try and work with something else
dear sear, i need service manual for TEREX DEMAG AC100 MOBILE CRANE WITH MERECEDES BENZ ENGINE DIESEL. BEST REGARDS [email protected]
We have 3 80 ton terex boom trucks. All are on 5 axle chassis (2 steer axles, 3 drive axles). Got em brand new and other than having a fat chart, they suck. Slow, jib is a joke (sad sad joke), all have blown the PTO outta the tranny more than once, Easy to overheat the fluid, and ours are on outriggers like concrete pumpers have, so no 1/2 jack in tight spots. huge mistake getting these things.
are you still running these crossovers ?
