Demag AC 250-5

The Demag AC 250-5 is a high-capacity 250-ton all-terrain crane, designed to provide strong lifting performance and superior mobility for heavy-duty applications. It features a five-axle design, making it more compact and maneuverable than its six-axle counterpart, the AC 250-6, while maintaining high lifting capability. The AC 250-5 was developed for maximum versatility, enabling it to handle construction projects, industrial maintenance, wind turbine installation, and infrastructure development.

With a 70-meter (229.7-foot) telescopic main boom, the crane provides significant reach without requiring additional jib attachments. When equipped with a lattice jib and a folding swing-away jib, the total system height extends to 102 meters (334.6 feet), allowing it to perform high-elevation lifts. The boom uses a fully hydraulic telescoping system, ensuring smooth and fast extension for efficient job site operation.

Built for superior mobility, the AC 250-5 is one of the most compact cranes in its class, with a carrier width of just 3 meters (9.8 feet) and a turning radius of 8.1 meters (26.6 feet). This makes it ideal for confined urban environments and job sites with limited space. The hydro-pneumatic suspension system and all-wheel steering provide stability and smooth travel, while the Mercedes-Benz diesel engine ensures strong performance, fuel efficiency, and compliance with modern emission standards.

The Demag IC-1 Plus crane control system enhances lifting precision and safety, calculating real-time lifting capacities based on slewing angle and outrigger setup, allowing the crane to operate at optimal efficiency under varying load conditions. The high-torque winch system delivers fast and controlled lifting speeds, while the slewing system enables smooth 360-degree rotation, ensuring precise load placement. The outrigger system features multiple extension positions, allowing the crane to adapt to different site conditions.

Inside the operator’s cab, the AC 250-5 offers an ergonomic design with touchscreen controls, joystick operation, and climate control, ensuring operator comfort and efficiency. The cab is also equipped with advanced safety features, including automatic load monitoring, an anti-two-block system, and emergency stop functions, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

With its compact five-axle design, long telescopic boom, advanced control systems, and strong lifting performance, the Demag AC 250-5 is one of the most efficient and versatile all-terrain cranes in its class, offering exceptional maneuverability, lifting power, and reliability in demanding lifting applications.
