Kato SR-500L

The Kato SR-500L is a 51-ton capacity rough terrain crane, built for demanding lifting tasks across a range of challenging environments, including construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects. The crane is equipped with a four-section telescoping boom that extends from 10.7 meters up to a maximum length of 35 meters. For additional reach, the SR-500L can be fitted with a two-section jib, available in 8.8 meters and 15.2 meters, which expands its lifting capabilities even further, allowing it to handle higher lift requirements at extended radii.

The SR-500L offers efficient hoisting and lifting, thanks to its powerful winch systems. The main winch provides a maximum hoisting speed of 110 m/min (at the 4th layer), while the auxiliary winch can operate at 96 m/min, ensuring fast and efficient load handling. The crane’s hoist speed is complemented by smooth, precise slewing, with the crane’s rotation speed reaching 2.3 rpm, powered by a planetary gear reduction system. The boom elevation operates smoothly between -1.0° and 82.0°, with the extending and retracting time of 80 and 49 seconds, respectively, to ensure fast cycle times.

Stability and safety are a top priority for the SR-500L. The crane comes equipped with Kato’s Automatic Crane System (ACS), which includes safety mechanisms like voice alarms, a load moment limiter, and an overhoist prevention device. Its hydraulic H-beam outrigger system, with a maximum extension width of 7,000 mm, ensures the crane remains stable even in challenging conditions.

In addition to its performance, the SR-500L features excellent maneuverability, with a maximum gradeability of 56%, allowing it to handle rough terrain with ease. The crane’s efficient design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, with modular components that reduce setup time and transportation costs, making it well-suited for tight job sites.

The operator’s cab is designed for comfort and precision, featuring adjustable seating, air conditioning, a spacious environment, and ergonomic controls that enhance visibility and ease of operation during complex lifts.

Altogether, the Kato SR-500L rough terrain crane provides robust lifting power, fast and precise operation, and safety features that make it an ideal solution for heavy-duty lifting in challenging environments.
