Product Description

The Sumitomo SC8000 (CT15000) is a heavy-duty 800-ton crawler crane, built for high-capacity lifting applications in sectors such as oil and gas, wind power, industrial construction, and bridge-building projects. The crane features a high-strength lattice boom, offering a main boom length of up to 108 meters (354 feet). When configured with a luffing jib, the maximum system height reaches 168 meters (551 feet), making it ideal for ultra-high lifting operations.

The SC8000 is powered by a high-performance diesel engine, providing optimized fuel efficiency and robust power output to handle heavy loads efficiently. The hydraulic high-pressure system ensures smooth boom operation and precise lifting control, while the advanced winch system delivers high line pull for faster and safer lifting cycles. The slewing system offers 360-degree continuous rotation, enhancing load placement accuracy in complex job sites.

Equipped with state-of-the-art load monitoring and safety features, the SC8000 includes automatic moment limiting (AML), anti-two-block protection, and real-time stability monitoring, ensuring safe and controlled operations. The hydraulic self-assembly system simplifies setup and transportation, reducing downtime and improving efficiency on-site.

The crawler undercarriage is designed for superior load distribution, allowing the SC8000 to traverse uneven or soft ground with stability. Its wide-track design provides excellent ground contact, ensuring safe operation even under extreme lifting conditions.

Inside the operator’s cab, the crane is fitted with ergonomic controls, digital monitoring displays, and climate control, offering enhanced comfort and precise handling. The Sumitomo CT15000 version of the crane incorporates additional enhancements for ultra-heavy lifting applications, making it a preferred choice for high-capacity industrial and energy sector projects.

With its massive lifting capacity, advanced control systems, and robust crawler design, the Sumitomo SC8000 (CT15000) is a leading solution for extreme heavy-lifting operations, ensuring efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability in the most demanding construction environments.
