Hitachi-Sumitomo SCX900

The Hitachi-Sumitomo SCX900 is a hydraulic crawler crane with a lifting capacity of 90 tons at a 4-meter working radius. The crane is engineered to handle a range of lifting tasks, with a basic boom length of 13 meters that can be extended up to 61 meters for diverse lifting applications. For additional reach, the crane can be fitted with a jib ranging from 10 to 28 meters, resulting in a combined boom and jib length of 89 meters (61 + 28 meters).

The SCX900 is powered by a Mitsubishi 6D24-T diesel engine, delivering a rated output of 184 kW (250 PS) at 2,000 rpm. This reliable engine supports the crane’s lifting capabilities while maintaining efficiency and fuel economy.

The crane’s winch system provides flexible lifting options, with main and auxiliary hoist speeds of 105 meters per minute in high mode, 60 meters per minute in medium mode, and 30 meters per minute in low mode. The boom hoist speed is set at 55 meters per minute, allowing for smooth and precise lifting adjustments. The SCX900 also features a swing speed of 2.7 rpm, which enables quick and controlled rotational movements for load positioning.

The crane’s travel speed is 1.6 km/h in high mode and 1.1 km/h in low mode, ensuring effective mobility on job sites. With a gradeability of 30%, the SCX900 can operate on slopes and uneven terrains, providing stability and safety during lifting operations.

Ground contact pressure for the SCX900 is approximately 89 kPa when configured with the basic boom and a 90-ton capacity hook, ensuring a stable foundation for lifting tasks. The crane’s operating weight is about 87.5 tons, including the 13-meter boom and a 90-ton hook block.

The SCX900 combines power, flexibility, and precision to deliver a reliable lifting solution for various construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects. Its versatile boom configurations, robust engine, and advanced operational features make it well-suited for medium to large-scale lifting tasks.
