Terex Challenger 3160

The Terex Challenger 3160 is a highly compact and versatile 55-ton all-terrain crane, engineered to provide efficient lifting performance in confined spaces and challenging job sites. Introduced as part of Terex’s Challenger series, this model was developed to offer a strong lifting capacity combined with a long main boom while maintaining a compact three-axle configuration.

One of its standout features is its fully hydraulic 50-meter (164-foot) telescopic boom, which is one of the longest in its class without requiring a jib extension. This allows operators to complete high-reach lifting operations more efficiently, making it particularly well-suited for urban construction projects, industrial applications, and infrastructure maintenance.

Built on a compact three-axle carrier, the Challenger 3160 is designed for excellent roadability and job site maneuverability. The all-wheel steering and advanced suspension system allow the crane to navigate tight spaces with ease, making it an ideal choice for urban environments and confined work zones.

The Challenger 3160 utilizes a single-engine concept, where the carrier engine also powers the crane’s superstructure, reducing fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and overall weight. The advanced hydraulic system ensures smooth boom extension, precise load handling, and efficient lifting operations, maximizing productivity on the job site.

The operator’s cab is ergonomically designed, featuring intuitive joystick controls, a digital load monitoring system, climate control, and excellent visibility, ensuring operator comfort and safety during long lifting operations.

With its long boom, compact three-axle carrier, fuel-efficient single-engine design, and advanced hydraulic control system, the Terex Challenger 3160 is a highly capable all-terrain crane, offering strong lifting performance, mobility, and efficiency for demanding lifting applications.
