Sumitomo SA1700

In the 1980s, the all-terrain crane has become a mainstream in Europe’s crane industry and Japanese manufacturers have put careful consideration in venturing the booming market. Hence, Sumitomo, with a joint effort with Italian CVS and carrier, developed Japan’s first all-terrain crane. SA1700 was the 2nd model developed by Sumitomo.

However, the volume of this crane manufactured in Japan was considerable, comparing to its successful sisters like SA1000, SA1100 and SA1200.
