Hitachi-Sumitomo 6000SLX
6000SLX is a 500-tonne crawler crane manufactured by Hitachi Sumitomo. The prototype was on the test pad at the factory in Japan at the end of November 2008. The 6000SLX is the Hitachi Sumitomo version of Link-Belt 548, which was exhibited at the ConExpo show in Las Vegas in March 2008.
The first sight of the Hitachi Sumitomo 6000SLX was unveiled at the Intermat exhibition in Paris in April 2009. It will be available in all markets as the Hitachi Sumitomo 6000SLX except for the Americas where the Link-Belt 548 will be offered.
In addition, Hitachi Sumitomo 6000SLX has received the Japan Brand Award at 2010 Machine Industrial Design Award sponsored by Nikkan Kogyo Shimibun Ltd. Rated with a lifting capacity of 500 ton, it is optimum for usage at nuclear facilities and wind farms projects.
The 500-tonne crawler crane is designed to adapt to global transport regulations, with its weight reduced to a stunning approximate 30 ton and width up to 3 meters during transportation. The 6000SLX comes with a maximum main boom length of 108 metres and maximum boom and jib combination of 72 + 72 metres. The crane is power by a 397 kW diesel engine.

Product Description
The Hitachi-Sumitomo 6000SLX is a heavy-duty 500-ton crawler crane designed to handle the most demanding lifting tasks in large construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects. The crane is highly versatile, featuring multiple configurations for both standard lifting and long-range operations. Its basic boom can extend from 24 to 96 meters, while the long-range boom can reach up to 126 meters, providing exceptional flexibility for a wide range of lifting applications.
Standard Lift Crane Configuration:
- Maximum lifting capacity: 500 tons at a 6.0-meter working radius.
- Boom length: 24 to 96 meters.
In long-range boom configuration, the crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 250 tons at a 10-meter radius, with a boom length extending from 42 to 108 meters, and up to 126 meters in specific configurations.
For luffing jib operations, the 6000SLX provides a 210 to 250-ton lifting capacity, with a tower length ranging from 24 to 84 meters, and a jib length from 24 to 84 meters, resulting in a maximum combined tower and jib length of 168 meters. This makes it suitable for projects requiring high reach and complex lifts.
Winch and Operational Speed:
The crane features high-speed winches with a load hoist drum speed of 110 m/min, boom hoist drum speed of 40 m/min, and luffing jib hoist drum speed of 49 m/min. These winches ensure fast and efficient lifting operations, even for heavy loads.
Mobility and Control:
The crane offers a slewing speed of 1.0 rpm, allowing for precise and controlled rotation of heavy loads. It is equipped with a travel speed ranging from 1.5 to 0.6 km/h, depending on the load, ensuring stable movement across construction sites.
Engine and Power:
Powering the 6000SLX is a robust Isuzu 6WG1 diesel engine, producing 397 kW (540 PS) at 1,800 rpm. This engine delivers ample power for both heavy lifting and mobility, while maintaining fuel efficiency and reliability, even in tough working conditions.
Counterweight and Stability:
To ensure stability during heavy lifts, the crane can be equipped with external counterweights ranging from 20 to 260 tons, depending on the configuration. This feature provides enhanced stability and load distribution for a wide range of lifting tasks.
Applications:
The Hitachi-Sumitomo 6000SLX is well-suited for large-scale infrastructure projects, including bridges, wind turbine installations, and industrial construction. Its high lifting capacity, flexible configurations, and powerful engine make it an ideal choice for projects that require both heavy-duty lifting and long-range precision.
In summary, the Hitachi-Sumitomo 6000SLX combines strength, versatility, and advanced control systems to handle complex lifting operations, making it a reliable and efficient choice for large-scale construction and industrial applications.
