Zweibruecken, 30th September 2011 – Terex Cranes will be exhibiting four cranes, highlighted by the unveiling of two totally new Terex®-CJ truck crane models, at the Beijing International Construction Machinery Exhibition and Conference (BICES), from 18th to 21st October at the Beijing Jiuhua International Exhibition Center in Beijing, China, on booth n° S 118-130.

　　Now in its 22nd year, BICES is the longest-running construction machinery exhibition in China. Terex Cranes has chosen BICES 2011 to unveil the Terex®-CJ Toplift 025G and Terex®-CJ Toplift 055G – the first two of a totally new series of truck crane models, out of the company’s production facility in Luzhou, China.

　　The new models will be displayed alongside the Terex Powerlift 2000, 70 ton (77US ton) capacity class crawler crane and Terex AC 350/6, 350 ton (386 US ton) capacity class all terrain unit.

　　Designed incorporating extensive input from users, the new Terex®-CJ Toplift 025G and Terex®-CJ Toplift 055G, 25 and 55 tonne (27,5 and 60,5 US ton) capacity class cranes combine the reputed strength and lift performance of Changjiang truck cranes with the latest in Terex® innovation and technology.

　　“The Chinese truck crane market is the largest in the world, and the 25-ton capacity class is the most popular choice among local crane operators. The new Terex®-CJ Toplift 025G addresses this segment by providing a completely new entry into the market with features not found on other cranes,” says Ken Lousberg, President, Terex China.

　　Designed with Changjiang’s heritage and the new technologies used throughout the Terex Cranes product portfolio, both the Terex®-CJ Toplift 025G and Terex-CJ Toplift 055G incorporate completely new operator and driver cabs, new engine and transmission combinations and newly designed booms among other innovative features, plus a new Terex® identity not seen before in the Chinese marketplace. Both new models comply with the latest Chinese National IV emission standards.

　　“As a direct result of feedback from crane operators and owners in China, these cranes are well-matched to local market needs,” says Ken Lousberg. “Our team is confident and excited about the prospects of the coming event.”

　　About the Terex® AC 350/6 all terrain crane

　　With a total length of just 16.7 meters (54.8 ft) , the AC 350/6 is the smallest and most compact 6-axle mobile crane in the 350-tonne (386 US ton) capacity class. Well-matched to an extraordinarily wide range of applications, it can be used as an alternative to medium and large 5-axle mobile cranes in the under 220-tonnes (242 US tons) capacity class with partial counterweight. In the 200 to 350-tonne range (220 – 386 US tons), it is currently by far the most powerful crane in its class as well as in terms of its main boom and different extensions. It can even perform tasks usually carried out by much larger 400-tonne (440 US ton) capacity class cranes. As an example, the AC 350/6’s extraordinary lifting capacity reaches the performance figures of a 400-tonne (440 US ton) class mobile crane with a telescoped boom length of approximately 60 meters (197 feet), and an impressive maximum system length of 125.7 meters (412.4 feet).

　　A compact chassis and speed-dependent rear axle steering enable the crane to work within a remarkably small turning radius. As the only 350-tonne class (386 US tons) all terrain crane with a front overhang of less than two meters (6.6 ft), the AC 350-6 can be operated without additional escort vehicles in many countries. Additional attachments can be loaded onto conventional trucks within a width of 2.55 m (8.4 ft).

　　Terex® Powerlift 2000 Lattice Boom Crawler Crane

　　Powerlift 2000 hydraulic crawler crane is an innovated and self-developed product equipped with the main boom and fixed jib, heavy chassis, low gravity and good stability. The max lifting capacity of the main boom is 70t×3.8m, max length of main boom goes to 54m, the Max lifting capacity of the jib is 6t×12.4m, and max length of boom + jib reaches 42m+18m.

　　Simple structured operational system, high artificial Intelligence and the advanced enclosed slewing system ensures the stability of the slewing and the safety of the construction.

　　Powerlift 2000 is the only crawler crane at this tonnage domestically which adopts the erection frame structure, it makes the structure of the crane much more compacted and easy to remove and reassemble comparing to the A-type frame structure.

　　Retracting the crawler via the operation valve helps an easy transportation of the crane and saved the transportation cost and the assembly time.

　　Main machine has a strong ability on climbing skill which can realize the self-assembled function under the condition assisting crane not available.

　　Highly-integrated control system can deliver the data from the engine, hydraulic system, force moment system and operation system to the monitor. The interface appears clear and nice, and most operations can be done via the screen touch control.

　　GPS system can realize the remote control, which betters the management of cranes.
