Demag CC 5800

The CC 5800 crawler crane, a product of Terex-Demag, was introduced on November 18, 2005, at the company’s testing facility in Bierbach, Germany. This crane is a standout in the 1,000-ton capacity class, celebrated for its substantial load moment of 12,860 tonne-metres and a transportation-friendly width of 3 meters, making it the most powerful in its class for such a compact size.

Design and Specifications

The CC 5800 features an impressive maximum main boom length of 150 meters when combined with a luffing jib, and up to 492 feet (150 meters) in a Superlift configuration. This crane is versatile with multiple configurations, including the ability to operate with or without Superlift. Its components, including jib sections, are designed to fit within the main boom sections for simplified and cost-effective transport.

Advanced Features

This model is equipped with four foldable outriggers that facilitate self-loading and discharging, enhancing operational flexibility. These outriggers can be directly attached to the crawlers or extended to operate the crane in pedestal mode, adding to its stability and lifting capacity.

Market Reception

Upon its launch, the first two units were quickly purchased by buyers in China for use in power plant construction, underscoring the global demand and reliability of the CC 5800. The crane’s ability to handle massive loads efficiently makes it a preferred choice for significant industrial and construction projects worldwide.
