Kato KR35H-III

The Kato KR-35H-III is a mid-capacity rough terrain crane designed for optimal lifting performance in areas where space is limited and terrain is challenging. With a maximum lifting capacity of 35 tons, this model blends compactness with strength, enabling it to perform critical lifting tasks on urban construction sites, utility maintenance areas, and uneven ground conditions where larger cranes may struggle to operate.

Measuring approximately 11.5 meters in total length and around 2.9 meters in overall width, the KR-35H-III is engineered for tight access situations. The wheelbase is laid out to maintain stability and efficient load distribution, supported by robust outriggers that ensure solid footing during lifting operations. The crane’s chassis includes a full-time four-wheel drive and all-wheel steering, offering impressive turning capabilities. In two-wheel steer mode, the minimum turning radius ranges from 9.7 to 12.4 meters depending on steering configuration, while in four-wheel coordinated steering, it can turn in as little as 5.8 meters, greatly enhancing its agility in confined environments.

The boom configuration includes a fully hydraulic telescopic system, with exact boom length details typically ranging between 9 to 30 meters in this crane class (specific boom specs not shown in the image but expected for the series). It offers a mix of short-radius lifting power and extended reach for overhead and obstacle-clearance tasks. Load charts referenced in the image indicate lifting forces of up to 286.43 kN at short radii with the boom retracted, and around 202.20 kN at maximum boom extension, highlighting the crane’s ability to maintain substantial lifting power across various operating setups.

Operator efficiency is improved through a centrally mounted cab providing wide visibility and ergonomic controls. The cab is designed for all-day comfort, and the machine is typically equipped with advanced safety features such as load moment indicators, automatic boom angle limiters, and hydraulic safety valves to prevent overload and unsafe movements.

The KR-35H-III is a reliable solution for mid-range lifting needs where terrain and access are limiting factors. With its blend of compact size, agile steering, and dependable lifting performance, it has become a go-to machine for contractors needing performance without the bulk of larger cranes.
