Hitachi Sumitomo SCX2000

The Hitachi-Sumitomo SCX2000 is a high-capacity crawler crane with a maximum lifting capability of 200 tons at a 5.0-meter working radius, making it suitable for heavy-duty lifting applications. The crane’s basic boom length is 15.25 meters, which can be extended to a maximum of 88.40 meters, providing substantial reach for a wide variety of lifting tasks. In addition to the main boom, the SCX2000 offers an auxiliary jib, available in lengths from 12.20 meters to 36.55 meters, allowing for even greater versatility in lifting operations.

When combined, the crane’s maximum boom and jib configuration reach an impressive total length of 109.70 meters (73.15 meters of boom + 36.55 meters of jib), making it ideal for large-scale construction or infrastructure projects requiring extended reach and height.

The crane’s rope system is engineered for efficient and precise load handling. The front and rear main drums feature adjustable speeds ranging from 120 meters per minute to 2.0 meters per minute, while the boom hoist operates at 24 meters per minute. This range of speeds ensures optimal performance during both heavy lifting and boom adjustments. The SCX2000’s slewing system offers a rotation speed of 1.7 revolutions per minute (rpm), allowing for smooth and controlled movement of the crane during lifting operations.

In terms of mobility, the SCX2000 offers a maximum travel speed of 1.2 km/h in high mode and 0.8 km/h in low mode. This allows the crane to maneuver across job sites effectively while maintaining stability. With a gradeability of 30% (17°), the crane can handle uneven terrains and slopes with ease, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.

The SCX2000 is powered by a Mitsubishi 6D24-TL diesel engine, delivering 235 kW at 2,000 rpm. This four-cycle, water-cooled engine is equipped with a turbocharger and intercooler, ensuring efficient performance under heavy load conditions. The crane’s powertrain is well-suited for demanding tasks while maintaining fuel efficiency and adhering to modern emission standards.

For ground stability, the SCX2000 exerts a ground contact pressure of approximately 108 kPa when operating with the basic boom and 1,120 mm wide crawler shoes. This low ground pressure allows the crane to work on a variety of surfaces without causing significant ground disturbance, enhancing its suitability for diverse construction sites.

The crane’s operating weight is approximately 200 tons with the basic boom configuration and standard 1,120 mm crawler shoes, providing a solid and stable platform for safe lifting operations. The crane can be fitted with various hook blocks, including a 200-ton/125-ton hook weighing 3,000/2,500 kg, as well as smaller hooks for different load capacities.

Overall, the Hitachi-Sumitomo SCX2000 is a robust and versatile crawler crane, ideal for heavy lifting operations in construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects. Its extensive boom and jib configurations, combined with its powerful engine and efficient rope system, make it an excellent choice for large-scale lifting requirements.
