Kobelco CKS600

The Kobelco CKS600 crawler crane is designed as a versatile lifting solution within the 60-ton class, built to deliver reliable performance across a variety of construction and industrial applications. Its maximum lifting capacity is 60 tons at a 3.0-meter working radius, and it supports a boom length ranging from 9.1 meters to 51.8 meters using a high-strength, pin-connected welded lattice boom. The crane offers flexible boom and fixed jib configurations, including a maximum fixed jib combination of 39.6 meters plus 18.3 meters, providing extended reach for challenging lifts.

Powered by a HINO J08E-VM water-cooled, six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine producing 213 kW at 2,100 rpm, the CKS600 features an advanced hydraulic system with three variable displacement piston pumps delivering precise flow to hoisting, swing, and propel functions at pressures up to 31.9 MPa. The main winches offer a rated line pull of 78.5 kN with a maximum line speed of 120 m/min, supporting 22 mm diameter wire rope, while the boom hoist drum provides smooth boom raising and lowering at speeds of 70 m/min.

Swing operations are driven by hydraulic motors through planetary reducers with a swing speed of 4.5 rpm, and the crane employs a robust undercarriage with hydraulically extendable crawlers mounted with 760 mm wide shoes, ensuring stable operation even on uneven ground. The machine achieves a maximum travel speed of 2.3 km/h and gradeability of 40%. Operating weight is approximately 46.1 tons, including a 13-ton counterweight, with ground pressure distributed at 63.1 kPa.

Operator comfort is ensured with a fully enclosed, air-conditioned cab fitted with ergonomic seating, adjustable controls, and safety glass for improved visibility. The crane incorporates advanced safety features such as external drum ratchets, hydraulic fail-safe brakes, boom backstops, and swing locks.

Built to meet EN13000 ratings and certified to operate in diverse environments, the Kobelco CKS600 delivers practical transportability, easy assembly with optional self-removal devices, and smooth operational control, making it a highly dependable choice for medium-scale infrastructure and industrial lifting projects.
