Hitachi KH180-3

The Hitachi KH180-3 crawler crane is a versatile and capable machine in the 50-ton lifting class, engineered to deliver optimal performance for construction, infrastructure, and other heavy-lifting applications. This crane has a maximum rated load of 50,000 kg (110,200 lb) when operating at a 3.7 m (12’2″) working radius. The basic boom length starts at 13 m (42’8″), but can be extended up to 52 m (170’7″) for longer reach, making it suitable for a wide range of lifting needs. With the addition of a jib, the maximum boom length can be further increased to 58.25 m (191’1″).

The crane’s swing speed ranges from 0 to 3.5 rpm, allowing for smooth and precise positioning during lifting operations. Its travel speed is 0 to 1.5 km/h (0.93 mph), providing stable and controlled movement across job sites. The gradeability is rated at 22° (40%), ensuring reliable performance on sloped or uneven terrains.

Powered by a Hino EM100 engine, this crane produces 110 kW (150 PS) at 2,000 rpm, offering consistent and efficient power for a variety of crane operations. The machine’s operating weight is approximately 46,900 kg (103,000 lb), which includes a 50,000 kg (110,200 lb) capacity hook and a 15,900 kg (35,100 lb) counterweight. The crane’s ground pressure is rated at 0.61 bar (8.67 psi), providing stability during operation on different ground conditions.

With its excellent reach, reliable power, and durable construction, the Hitachi KH180-3 is well-suited for medium-duty lifting tasks, offering flexibility and efficiency in a wide range of work environments.
