Kobelco launches the TKE750G telescopic boom crawler crane

The TKE750G is a telescopic boom crawler crane with a max. lifting capacity of 75 metric tonnes.

For Europe, Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. announced the launch of the TKE750G, its new telescopic boom crawler crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 75 metric tonnes. The crane is equipped with an EU Stage V-compliant Mercedes-Benz E9H01 (Daimler OM936LA) engine and continues the same basic concept of the G series lattice boom crawler crane models. The TKE750G will be available from mid-2024 onwards.

The TKE75G is built with durability and design in mind, delivering ease of operation, great utilization and high reliability. Product features include:

Purpose built durable boom design: The TKE750G is equipped with an exceptionally stiff 4-plate box structural boom that has been designed for foundation work. The boom’s lightweight and durability have been achieved through optimizing materials, construction, and welding. Thanks to the short boom length with a side deflection-resistant fully powered boom, the crane is capable of taking on any job, especially on compact job sites. The crane is equipped with a 22mm diameter wire rope with a 7.0 tonne rated line pull. The main and auxiliary winches are positioned vertically at the rear end of the machine, helping maintain a compact main body.

Excellence in design: The machine concept is built on the same tried and tested technology as the G series lattice boom crawler crane models offering high reliability, great utilization, and simple ease of operation by design alongside excellent durability and commonality across all the G series models.

Durability for foundation works: These machines are mainly used for foundation works using vibration hammers, auger drilling, and hammer-grabs for all casing methods, etc. The KOBELCO telescopic boom crawler crane series includes a larger engine capacity, shorter boom length with higher winch capacity on standard main/auxiliary winches, and stronger, thicker wire ropes offering higher capability of foundation works in comparison with conventional telescopic crawlers on the market.

Finally, the TKE750G is equipped with a powerful EU Stage V-compliant engine. Powered by a Mercedes-Benz E9H01 (Daimler OM936LA) 7.697l water-cooled, in-line 6-cylinder direct injection and turbocharged engine, with a rated power output of 254kW/2,000 min-1, that is compliant with NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery - Europe) EU Stage V regulations, the engine offers higher hydraulic performance, especially important during foundation operation. Machine insight can be obtained easily, as Kobelco’s KCROSS (Kobelco Crane Remote Observation Satellite System) is retained on the TKE750G model. Machines fitted with KCROSS transmit working conditions, locations, and maintenance history to provide owners with fact-based information for their asset management and maintenance planning.

“We are excited to launch this product to the European market,’ says Jos Verhulst, Sales and Marketing Manager Kobelco Cranes. He continues, “We have been waiting for this product that is a great addition to our cranes portfolio. The TKE750G allows for easier set-up, reducing the total transport time from site to site. The lifting capacity is outstanding despite the crane being quite compact due to an intelligent design.” The TKE750G will be available in Spring 2024.
