80-Ton Crawler Crane – Compact & Versatile Lattice Boom Lifting Solution for Iraq’s Medium-Scale Hotel & Infrastructure Projects
Overview
The 80-ton crawler crane is a highly maneuverable, mid-range lifting powerhouse optimized for medium-scale construction projects across Iraq, including boutique hotel development, mid-rise residential buildings, road and bridge construction, oil field support, and urban renewal initiatives. Designed with a compact footprint, high-strength lattice boom, and rugged all-terrain crawler chassis, it delivers the perfect balance of lifting capacity, reach, and mobility—outperforming wheeled cranes on soft desert sand, uneven job sites, and narrow urban construction yards in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra.
As a factory-direct product built to CE/ISO 9001 standards, it offers cost-effective operation, easy maintenance, and customizable configurations, making it the preferred choice for local contractors, hotel developers, and infrastructure firms seeking reliable lifting equipment for projects that demand more than light-duty cranes but do not require the scale of heavy-tonnage models. This crane excels at hoisting steel beams, precast concrete panels, hotel HVAC systems, and construction machinery, accelerating project timelines while minimizing operational costs.
Core Features & Advantages
1. Balanced Lifting Performance for Medium-Scale Tasks
-
80-Ton Maximum Lifting Capacity: Engineered to handle core medium-scale loads, including 20–30 ton precast concrete wall panels for hotel structures, 50-ton steel bridge girders for local road projects, and heavy industrial generators for oil field facilities.
-
Extended Lattice Boom System: High-strength Q345B steel lattice boom with a standard length of 40–60 meters (extendable to 70 meters with jib), delivering a maximum lifting height of 75 meters. The open lattice design reduces wind resistance by 40% compared to solid booms, ensuring stability in Iraq’s desert winds (up to 60km/h).
-
Reliable Load Moment: 250t·m rated load moment with a tip load capacity of 8–10 tons, enabling precise lifting at maximum reach—ideal for placing facade panels on hotel exteriors or materials on upper floors of mid-rise buildings.
-
360° Full Rotation: Heavy-duty slewing bearing with a smooth hydraulic drive system, allowing continuous rotation for full job site coverage and eliminating the need for frequent repositioning, saving up to 20% of operational time.
2. All-Terrain Mobility & Compact Design
-
Reinforced Crawler Chassis: 0.8m-wide heavy-duty crawler tracks distribute the crane’s 180-ton weight evenly, minimizing ground pressure (≤0.18 MPa) to prevent sinking into soft desert sand or muddy construction sites—critical for remote hotel projects in rural Iraq.
-
Exceptional Maneuverability: Compact turning radius (≤8 meters) and dual-track independent drive enable navigation in narrow urban spaces (e.g., downtown hotel construction sites with limited access) and tight job site layouts.
-
Outrigger-Free Operation: The crawler chassis provides inherent stability for 90% of lifting tasks, eliminating the need for time-consuming outrigger setup and teardown—speeding up daily operation and reducing labor costs.
3. Durability Optimized for Iraq’s Climate
-
Heat & Dust Resistant Engineering:
-
Engine compartment with a high-efficiency cooling system (operational at 50°C ambient temperature) to prevent overheating during Iraq’s hot summers.
-
Sealed electrical cabinet with IP54 dust-proof rating and sand filters, protecting the control system, sensors, and wiring from desert sand and dust—reducing maintenance by 30%.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Multi-layer anti-rust system (zinc-rich primer + epoxy topcoat) on all steel components, with hot-dip galvanized boom sections for long-term protection against humidity in coastal areas (e.g., Basra) and chemical corrosion in industrial zones.
-
Rugged Hydraulic System: 31.5 MPa high-pressure hydraulic pumps and motors with a closed-loop circuit, preventing oil leakage and ensuring reliable performance in dusty environments—critical for continuous operation on remote job sites.
4. User-Friendly Operation & Enhanced Safety
-
Ergonomic Operator Cab: Air-conditioned, soundproof cab with an adjustable seat, dual joystick controls, and a 7-inch digital display (English/Arabic interface). Real-time monitoring of load weight, boom angle, wind speed, and hydraulic pressure ensures safe and efficient operation.
-
Comprehensive Safety Protections (ISO 12480 Compliance):
-
Overload Protection: Auto-shuts down lifting operations when exceeding rated load to prevent structural damage.
-
Boom Angle Limiter: Prevents over-luffing and boom buckling during high-reach lifts.
-
Emergency Stop System: Hardwired buttons in the cab and on the crane body for instant shutdown in critical situations.
-
Anti-Tip Alarm: Audible and visual alarm if the chassis tilt angle exceeds safe limits, protecting operators and job site personnel.
-
Easy Maintenance: Modular design with quick-access panels for hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical components. Standardized spare parts (filters, seals, winch cables) are readily available in Iraq, with a 24-hour supply from our Dubai warehouse.
5. Customizable Configurations for Project Flexibility
-
Boom & Jib Options: Main boom lengths from 30m to 60m; optional 15m–25m fixed jib for increased lifting height (ideal for hotel rooftop construction).
-
Counterweight Packages: Tailored counterweight configurations (30–60 tons) to optimize lifting performance for specific loads and job site conditions.
-
Power System Choices:
-
Diesel Engine: 260 HP 6-cylinder diesel engine (Cummins/Weichai) with low fuel consumption (saves 15% fuel vs. competitors) and EU Stage II emission compliance.
-
Electric Motor: Optional 200kW electric motor for zero-emission operation in urban areas or indoor hotel construction (e.g., basement development).
-
Additional Accessories: Optional heavy-duty winch (single drum), 80-ton capacity hook block, and a remote control system for precision operations in hazardous areas.
