Demag CC 8800

Crawler Crane

In November 2001, hundreds of heavy-lift specialists around the world gathered at Demag’s factory in Zweibrucken, Germany to witness the 1,250 tonnes capacity CC 8800 crawler crane. The crane was rigged for the first time on the Bierbach test ground and was officially handed over to its new owner, Carl Marino of Marino Cranes on 9th November 2001. While Marino Cranes took the first two units, another three were ordered by GH Heavy Lift of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, Sterling Crane in Canada and Al Jaber of UAE.

A further improvement on the CC 8800 and a new version was released – CC 8800-1. This increase the crane capacity from 1,250 ton to 1,600 ton.

Product Description

The Demag CC 8800 is a highly capable crawler crane known for its exceptional lifting power and versatility. With a lifting capacity of up to 1,250 tonnes and a maximum load moment of 21,120 tonne-meters, this crane is designed to handle extremely heavy loads with precision and stability. Its modular hook block system allows for flexibility, supporting loads ranging from 350 to 1,250 tonnes. The crane’s boom configurations offer a broad working range from 9 to 154 meters, accommodating various lifting needs on complex job sites.

The CC 8800 is constructed with a five-section carrier that includes a carbody, two cross axles, and two split-type crawler side frames, all of which are hydraulically pin-connected for efficient assembly and disassembly. The crawlers feature 15 rollers per side frame for enhanced load distribution and traction, with each crawler powered by two hydraulic motors. This robust drive system enables independent and infinitely variable control, with the added benefit of the Quadro-Drive system that enhances maneuverability and reduces soil compaction.

The crane’s superstructure includes an optional counterweight configuration that can be expanded up to 280 tonnes. It is powered by a 380 kW (516 HP) DaimlerChrysler diesel engine, complying with EUROMOT II and EPA standards. The superstructure also houses an advanced IC-1 electronic control system, which provides touchscreen controls, diagnostics, and real-time load monitoring for enhanced operational safety and efficiency.

For lifting configurations, the crane offers multiple boom combinations, such as the SSL, SSL/LSL, and SFVL, with boom lengths extending up to 150 meters. The Superlift system, which provides additional counterweight support, has a freely adjustable radius from 19 to 25 meters and is integral to increasing lifting capacities across various boom configurations. Additional features include electronic load indicators, safety cameras, and the Demag IC-1 control system, which offers user-friendly interface and remote monitoring capabilities.

The CC 8800 is equipped with advanced safety features, such as hydraulic boom backstops, limit switches for boom movement, and an anemometer for wind speed monitoring. For operational convenience, options include a hydraulic quick-disconnect system for the slewing ring, additional hoist drums, and a fire extinguishing system. Its modular design facilitates transportation, allowing components to be broken down to weights under 40 tonnes, with a transport width of less than 3.5 meters.

In summary, the Demag CC 8800 crawler crane combines remarkable lifting capability with ease of transport and rapid setup, making it an ideal solution for high-demand construction projects that require both power and precision.
