Sany has launched its 77mt (85 USt) rough terrain crane the SRC885 in North America, designed to fill the gap between the 80 and 90 US ton cranes and meet the growing demand for higher capacity cranes.
“The market is looking for a strong product that provides higher capacity than the more common 75- and 80-ton class machines without carrying the price tag of a 90-ton crane,” said Kyle Nape, senior vice president, Sany America Lifting Group.
“We expect the SRC885 model to meet that demand and fulfill contractors’ expectations.”
The SRC885 provides reach of up to 63.9m through a five-section, full-power boom. It can achieve the rated 77t lifting capacity at a 3.05m radius.
With an overall weight of 52,562kg, it is also well-sized for a variety of applications while still being easy to transport.
Common with other Sany RTCs, it delivers the trifecta of lifting power, pick-and-carry capability, and operating stability on virtually any jobsite regardless of terrain.
Nape said that the new model combines exceptional value with ease of operation, ease of maintenance and attention to operator comfort and convenience.
Like other Sany RTCs the SRC885 uses globally sourced key components, including Cummins engine, Braden winches and hoists, Dana transmission and Parker hydraulics, satisfying the serviceability demands of customers and dealers alike.
Key features of the crane are 4×4 hydraulic powered steering and earthmover-style tires; three-position outriggers that level the crane with up to 315 mm of ground penetration and maximum horizontal extension of 7.32 m to provide stability in adverse ground conditions; and a 202 kN Cummins engine which integrates with the hydraulic system for precision control and multi-function load sharing.
Operators benefit from hydraulic joysticks which provide smooth, variable control of crane functions, and the two-speed swing system rotates 360 degrees in either direction.
Nape expects the new crane will be popular with contractors and equipment rental operations because of its ease of use and maintenance as well as its transportability.
“Along with its attention to operator comfort and easy serviceability, the SRC885 is priced right for both rental and contractor customers, which will help establish a strong market presence,” he said.
“This machine offers a combination of specifications and capabilities that demonstrates our commitment to satisfying the demands of the North American market.”
