Product Description

The crane is equipped with a 4.0-ton counterweight ensuring a 12-ton axle load, a 64-meter main boom, and an optional extension ranging from 9 to 33 meters for versatility in reach. It boasts a high-comfort, advanced engine and transmission system, alongside speed-dependent rear axle steering enhancing maneuverability and stability. Additionally, it features the innovative Demag IC-1 control system with a touchscreen interface for precision and ease of operation, marking a significant advancement in crane technology and operational efficiency.

The Demag AC160-1 is a highly advanced all-terrain crane that incorporates a multitude of features aimed at enhancing its performance, safety, and operator comfort. This model is distinguished by its 10 x 8 x 8 drive/steering system and a torsion-resistant box girder frame made from high-strength fine grain structural steel, ensuring durability and reliability under various operational conditions.

Outfitted with four fully hydraulic telescopic outriggers, the AC160-1 provides exceptional stability. The crane’s power comes from a water-cooled 8 cylinder DaimlerChrysler diesel engine OM 502 LA, delivering 380 kW (516 HP) at 1800 rpm, and a torque of 2400 Nm at 1200 rpm. This robust engine is paired with a ZF AS-Tronic electronically automated transmission featuring 16 forward and 2 reverse speeds, integrated with a retarder and cruise control for smooth transitions.

The AC160-1’s suspension system is hydro-pneumatic on all axles, hydraulically lockable for on-site travel, enhancing its adaptability to varied terrains. Its wheels are fitted with 14.00 R 25 tires from Michelin or Bridgestone, chosen for their reliability and performance.

In terms of steering, this model boasts a sophisticated 10 x 8 ZF dual-circuit semiblock mechanical steering system with hydraulic booster and mechanical steering limiter, offering speed-dependent steering for the 4th and 5th axles. This system includes independent rear axle steering, improving the crane’s maneuverability and stability, especially on challenging terrains.

The braking system adheres to EC directives, featuring a sustained action brake with a hydraulic retarder integrated into the gearbox, an exhaust brake, and a constant choke valve, ensuring safety during operations.

For operator comfort, the driver’s cab is ergonomically designed with a clearly arranged dashboard, rubber-mounted steel cab, corrosion-resistant powder coating, and a range of amenities including pneumatically sprung and heated seats, electric windows, and air-conditioning.

The superstructure boasts a second engine, a water-cooled 4 cylinder DaimlerChrysler diesel engine OM 904 LA, which powers two variable displacement axial piston pumps for the hydraulic system, facilitating four independent working movements simultaneously. The hoist features a fixed displacement axial piston hydraulic motor with integrated planetary gear reducer and a spring-applied multi-disk brake. Additionally, the crane is equipped with an innovative boom elevation mechanism, a highly comfortable and tiltable crane cab, and a 50t divisible counterweight that can be hydraulically stowed on the carrier.

Optional equipment for the AC160-1 includes a runner, twist arrestor, heavy lift attachment, emergency control interface, warning light, rooster sheave, alternative wheels and tires, and a second hoist, all designed to enhance the crane’s versatility and capability in a wide range of lifting operations.

This detailed overview underscores the AC160-1’s position as a cutting-edge crane designed for efficiency, safety, and comfort, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in diverse environments.
