New & Improved SANY America Introduces 550-Ton Crawler Crane New crane with cab designed by Porche Design Studios, is ideal for energy, petrochemical and infrastructure projects. SANY America's new 550-ton crawler crane will satisfy a niche between Sany's 440- and 660-ton machines and is ideally suited for construction of wind energy towers, fossil fuel plants, nuclear facilities, petrochemical installations and a variety of infrastructure projects. The SCC8500 can lift 330-foot wind towers and place 2.5-megawatt nacelles with a straight boom and an offset wind tip, with no need for a back mast. With a full complement of attachments and options, including fixed jib, luffing jib and the SANY UltraLift package, the SCC8500 is also a great solution for on infrastructure projects such as bridges, waterways, dams and sewage-treatment plants. The crane can be set up quickly because it doesn't need a counterweight wagon and the hydraulically driven system offers better gradeability in adverse ground conditions. The crane is powered by a 600-horsepower Cummins diesel engine with 1,845 foot pounds of torque. The SANY-exclusive ACE (auto counterbalance equalization) System senses the boom angle and uses hydraulic cylinders to automatically adjust the position of the movable upperworks counterweight. The ACE System design avoids an inefficient carbody counterweight and keeps overall crane weight down. The base machine transports on 21 trucks, the same as a standard 440-ton crane. The optional UltraLift package includes a second counterweight tray with hanging brackets and 36 upper sideblocks for 868,621 pounds of counterweight. A second pair of hydraulic cylinders extends the counterweight beam to 52 feet 6 inches. The counterweight beam is supported by a back mast in the UltraLift configuration. Styled by the Porsche Design Studios, the UltaCab has a wide field of reinforced glass for commanding views of the load and the jobsite. It tilts up 20 degrees for optimum visibility. The large, high-resolution display shows crane gravity and many other monitoring statistics in real time. The proprietary SANY load moment indicator automatically detects lifting capacity, boom angle, top height and radius to ensure reliable operation. A closed-circuit television system gives the operator views of all winches, the counterweight and jobsite surroundings.
