Ok but with that cribbing and mats its not crawling anywhere ??


the larger cranes ,they dont do much crawling . the ground preperation in itself would be a task for a unit this big ...if it had to move it would most likely have to be matted out to where its gonna set next ..
alot of times they get set for a heavy lift and often dont move any great distance if they move at all

Which is the beauty of this machine, it is mobile when needed. Compared to more stationary rigs like a ringer. Or a machine like a Lampson with it's counterweights on seperate tracks, they are mobile, but still a coordinated operation. The Demag is a big, compact, moveable crane. All different types of cranes have their place. ;)

i totally agree
this is a 1200+tonne machine ...which its hydraulic equivalent would bu upward to 1500 tonne ...the largest made in hydro is 1200 tonne ..

the conventional crane's are the bench presser's of the industry ....there's just no substitute sometimes

Mammoet is putting one together right now in middle Georgia on a project for Ga Power. One of the first cranes they moved on the job was a Manitowoc 21000, I thought it was big until the Demag showed up. That puppy is huge. I believe they are putting about 300 feet of main boom on it. The luffing boom will reach out about 200 feet. They have to set some 170 ton beams about 200 feet up and about 200 feet out.
Today they were attaching the luffer on it, they are doing all this in the air since the area where the crane is set up won't allow for them to lay it down.

My favorite crane great pics. I am biulding a model of this very crane. Demag does have a outrigger option which makes this a PC6800, I have a serial number of a cc6800 which is awesome because you can go to the Demag website and get a nice parts break down of this beast. I will get some pics of my model and post them later

There was a disastrous accident in Vungtau, Vietnam on 18 Nov 2012. While lifting and moving a load of 360MT a CC6800 toppled killing 3 people and injured other 2. Primary causes for this accident could be "unstable road surface".
May I have some questions on this:
1) what condition or design requirements for the road to be appropriate for this CC6800 ?
2) does it always need dunnage and sand underneath the chain for mobilization of the crane?
Appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks,

DDTruc

The crawler crane, you saw on the photos, was owned by Schmidbauer KG., Munich/Germany.
Meanwhile Schmidbauer sold the crane to a new owner in Thailand.
So no offer is possible !
