Kobelco CK1100G-2

The Kobelco CK1100G-2 crawler crane is built to meet the modern requirements of lifting operations, offering both heavy-duty performance and transport efficiency. With a maximum lifting capacity of 110 U.S. tons (100 metric tons), it features a main boom that extends from 40 feet up to 200 feet (12.2 m – 61.0 m), and an optional fixed jib that can reach up to 60 feet (18.3 m) or a heavy-lift jib for specialized operations. Powered by a HINO J08E-UV engine producing 285 hp (213 kW) at 2,000 rpm, the CK1100G-2 is EPA Tier IV Final compliant, offering lower emissions and cleaner operation.

One of the standout innovations in the CK1100G-2 is Kobelco’s “G-mode” system, a suite of energy-efficient features designed to cut fuel consumption by up to 30%. These include an auto idle-stop, energy-saving winch control, and engine RPM limiter. The crane’s transport design is also a key benefit; its compact structure and detachable components make it easy to haul and assemble on-site. Transport weight is minimized through modular counterweights and a self-removal mechanism, and the crane can be transported with a base machine weight of approximately 90,000 lbs.

The operator’s cab has been upgraded for better visibility and comfort, featuring a large interior, full-color touchscreen LMI, and ergonomic controls including short-throw levers. A new counterweight detection system adds another layer of safety and ease of setup. The swing system allows for 360° continuous rotation, and the crane offers smooth load handling through its planetary winch system with free-fall capability.

Kobelco’s G-2 series, including the CK1100G-2, exemplifies the brand’s dedication to reliability, fuel efficiency, and ease of use—key factors that have made it a trusted name in lifting machinery across the globe .
