New Terex tower crane

Terex has unveiled a new 20 tonne flat top tower crane, the 470 tonne/metre CTT 472-20.

The new crane can handle four tonnes at its maximum jib length of 80 metres and offers 11 different jib configurations from 30 to 80 metres. It can be erected with either the H20, HD23 or TS212 tower sections, as well as a combination of them by using transition sections. All jib sections come pre-assembled with a life-line for lanyard attachment and fully galvanised jib walkways.

The new crane will also be the first to include the new Terex tower crane cab that will eventually be added to all flat top, hammerhead and luffing jib models. It provides the operator with a far greater degree of comfort, with a fully adjustable ‘comfort seat’, short throw joystick controllers and a full colour seven inch anti-glare screen which displays all operational data, along with troubleshooting information. The cab also includes a built-in automatic heating and air conditioning system that is said to maintain a consistent cab temperature regardless of outside conditions. The CTT 472-20 includes a new control system with expanded configuration options and Terex Power Plus, which can temporarily increase the maximum capacity by up to 10 percent. Radio remote controls are also available as an option.

General manager Marco Gentilini said: “Fresh off the introduction of our new hammerhead tower crane at Conexpo, we offer our customers the new CTT 472-20, an extremely versatile and robust flat top tower crane with great features requested by our customers. The CTT 472-20 gives the market a flexible solution to meet complex lifting challenges. With Terex fully committed to the tower crane business, we are accelerating new tower crane product development to meet our customers’ needs. This includes a new tower crane cab that will advance operating efficiency and comfort for our new CTT 472-20 crane.”
