Hitachi KH125-3

The Hitachi KH125-3 crawler crane is designed for medium-duty lifting operations, offering a maximum rated load of 35,000 kg (77,200 lb) at a 3.6 m (11’10”) working radius. It is well-suited for construction projects requiring flexibility in reach and height, with its boom length ranging from 10 m (32’10”) in its basic configuration to 40 m (131’3″) at full extension. Additionally, the crane can be outfitted with a jib for extended reach, providing lengths between 6.1 m (20’0″) and 15.25 m (50’0″), which extends the total boom with jib to 46.2 m (151’7″).

Powered by a reliable HINO H06C-T diesel engine, this model offers a rated power output of 110 kW (150 PS) at 2,000 rpm, ensuring sufficient power for smooth operations. The crane is equipped with a swing speed of up to 4.0 rpm, and its travel speed ranges between 0 and 1.8 km/h (1.12 mph), providing decent mobility on site while maintaining the necessary precision during lifting tasks.

The gradeability of the Hitachi KH125-3 is 22° (40%), making it capable of handling rough terrain and slopes without compromising stability. The operating weight of the machine, when fitted with the basic boom and a 35,000 kg (77,200 lb) hook, is approximately 36,600 kg (80,700 lb), including a 11,600 kg (25,600 lb) counterweight.

In terms of stability, the KH125-3 applies a ground pressure of 0.53 bar (7.54 psi), allowing it to operate safely on soft grounds without causing excessive damage to the surface. Its versatility and performance make it a suitable choice for various construction, infrastructure, and lifting operations.
