Kato KA-2200

The Kato KA-2200 is a top-tier all-terrain crane built to handle ultra-heavy lifting applications with extensive reach and operational adaptability. Its main boom is a 5-section, box-type telescopic structure, fully hydraulic, stretching from 13.6 to 50.0 meters. This robust base is complemented by optional attachments: the Super Luffing (SL) jib, ranging from 10.5 to 27.3 meters with offset angles from 5° to 60°, and the Heavy Lift (HL) jib, extendable up to 54.0 meters with up to 106.9 meters of total lifting height. Maximum radius for HL configuration reaches up to 80 meters.

In terms of performance, the crane can lift up to 220 tons at a 3.0-meter radius with the 13.6-meter boom under heavy-lift configuration. Even with the 50-meter boom fully extended, it can lift 35 tons at an 18-meter radius. The crane features dual high-speed winches with line speeds of up to 135 m/min (on 3rd layer), and the boom elevation range spans from -1° to 83°, completing in 100 seconds. Slewing is powered via twin hydraulic motors offering speeds up to 1.4 rpm.

The crane upper is powered by a Mitsubishi 6D24-TE1 engine, generating 188 kW at 1,800 rpm and 1,079 Nm of torque. It’s paired with an advanced hydraulic system comprising dual axial variable piston pumps and dual gear pumps, all connected to pressure-compensated control valves and twin high-torque winch motors.

Mounted on the KA6350 carrier, the lower is driven by a Mercedes-Benz OM502LA V8 turbo-diesel engine delivering 390 kW at 1,800 rpm and a formidable torque of 2,400 Nm at 1,080 rpm. The 12×8 full-time all-wheel drive configuration, hydropneumatic suspension, and full automatic transmission allow smooth handling at speeds up to 75 km/h. The transport dimensions are 14.7 m long and 3.0 m wide in base chassis form. For site maneuvering, the crane can travel in an internal mode up to 25 km/h while fully assembled (excluding public roads).

Outrigger spread is flexible, ranging from 5.4 to 9.4 meters. The safety suite includes Kato’s ACS system with overload prevention, wind speed sensors, boom descent protection, and slew locking. Additional features include air conditioning, operator comfort systems, and optional rear-view cameras.

In essence, the KA-2200 is a high-performance, large-capacity mobile crane that offers exceptional lifting height, reach, and field adaptability—perfect for infrastructure, energy, and industrial mega projects.
