Hitachi-Sumitomo 2000HLX

The Hitachi-Sumitomo 2000HLX is a highly capable 200-ton crawler crane designed for large-scale construction and heavy lifting projects. It features a 15-meter basic boom that can be extended up to 72 meters, providing substantial reach for a variety of tasks. The crane offers a maximum lifting capacity of 200 tons at a 5-meter working radius, making it suitable for handling heavy loads in complex construction environments.

This crane is powered by a Cummins QSL9 diesel engine, which delivers a rated output of 272 kW (370 PS) at 2,000 rpm. The engine complies with modern emission standards and offers the necessary power for demanding operations, ensuring both performance and efficiency on the job site.

The winch system is designed for high-speed operations, with the front and rear winches achieving a maximum speed of 110 m/min (50 m/min under load), while the optional third winch operates at 90 m/min (25 m/min under load). The boom hoist operates at a speed of 24 m/min, providing smooth and controlled lifting of the boom during operation.

The crane’s slewing mechanism features a rotation speed of 1.5 rpm, allowing for precise and efficient positioning of loads. In terms of mobility, the 2000HLX offers a travel speed of 1.0 km/h in high gear and 0.5 km/h in low gear, ensuring stable movement across rough terrain. The crane also has a gradeability of up to 30% (17°), allowing it to operate effectively on slopes and uneven surfaces.

Stability is maintained by its robust crawler undercarriage, with a ground pressure of 119 kPa (1.22 kgf/cm²) when configured with the basic boom and a 200-ton hook, ensuring safe lifting operations even on softer ground conditions.

The crane’s total operating weight is approximately 214 tons, including the basic boom, 200-ton hook, and counterweights, making it a solid and stable platform for heavy lifting. The comprehensive hydraulic system and modern control features ensure that the crane can be operated with precision and ease, providing both power and flexibility in large-scale construction projects.

In summary, the Hitachi-Sumitomo 2000HLX is a robust, powerful crawler crane designed to handle the most challenging heavy-lifting tasks, with a combination of high capacity, long reach, and advanced control features. It is ideal for infrastructure projects, large construction sites, and industrial lifting operations.
