Demag AC 160-5

The Demag AC 160-5 is a high-performance 160-ton all-terrain crane, engineered for optimal mobility, lifting power, and efficiency across a variety of industries, including construction, infrastructure, and industrial maintenance. It is built on a five-axle carrier, making it one of the most compact cranes in its category, with an impressive turning radius of just 8.1 meters (26.6 feet). The hydro-pneumatic suspension system and multiple steering modes ensure smooth travel and easy navigation in tight job sites.

Equipped with a 68-meter (223.1-foot) fully hydraulic telescopic boom, the AC 160-5 offers a long reach without requiring additional boom sections. With a folding swing-away jib and optional lattice extensions, the crane’s total system length extends to 95 meters (311.7 feet), making it ideal for high-reach lifting tasks. The boom telescoping system is fully hydraulic, enabling fast extension and retraction, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

The AC 160-5 is powered by a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine, ensuring fuel efficiency, low emissions, and powerful torque output for highway and off-road mobility. The superstructure is independently powered, allowing for simultaneous carrier movement and crane operation, optimizing productivity on job sites. The hydraulic winch system delivers high-speed lifting and controlled load handling, while the slewing system provides 360-degree continuous rotation, ensuring precise and flexible load positioning.

A key feature of the AC 160-5 is Demag’s IC-1 Plus crane control system, which dynamically calculates real-time lifting capacities based on slewing angle and outrigger setup. This intelligent load management system optimizes lifting performance, even when working in asymmetrical outrigger configurations. The outrigger system offers multiple extension positions, allowing for stable lifting operations in different job site conditions.

The operator’s cab is ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use, featuring touchscreen controls, joystick operation, and climate control. The crane also comes with advanced safety features, including automatic load monitoring, an anti-two-block system, and emergency stop functions, ensuring safe and secure lifting operations.

With its compact five-axle design, long telescopic boom, state-of-the-art IC-1 Plus control system, and strong lifting performance, the Demag AC 160-5 is a highly efficient and versatile all-terrain crane, offering superior maneuverability, lifting capacity, and precision for demanding job site conditions.
