The Kobelco CKE3000G

Sech managing director Matt Cox said: “The CKE3000G is an exceptional crane with great lifting capacities. We have been running a Kobelco CKE1100G machine in our rental fleet for nearly two years now and after careful evaluation we chose Kobelco’s new CKE3000G because of its design and operational simplicity, Kobelco’s proven reliability and excellent performance. Another plus for us, was that the new Kobelco CKE3000G also has duel winch operation, allowing for heavier loads to be lifted - for example into much deeper shafts with greater control and efficiency.”
Mark Evans of Kobelco Cranes Europe’ added: “We are pleased to have completed the sale of the first 300 tonne CKE3000G for Europe to Sech. This is the first Kobelco crane of this size that has been sold into this all important market and marks the first step in the next phase of Kobelco Cranes’ expansion of its product line-up for the region.”
