New Terex luffer

Raimondi owned Terex Tower Cranes launched a new 45 tonne luffing jib tower crane at Conexpo last week, the CTL 712-45.

The new crane features a 70 metre jib with a jib tip capacity of 5.8 tonnes, while the 134kW hoist has a maximum single line speed of 226 metres a minute. The crane can be erected on an HD23 tower to a freestanding height of 63.4 metres in standard configuration with an under hook height of up to 131.2 metres.

The CTL 712-45 also includes T-Line auto-levelling, which maintains consistent load height during jib luffing, while T-Torque inverter technology provides smooth, operator adjustable slewing with optimised torque control.

Installation is also said to be faster, thanks to the use of standardised pins and bolts, fewer cables and connections, while primary assembly can be completed at ground level, boosting safety and ease of installation.

The crane includes improved machinery enclosures and integrated handrail/guardrails to minimise the risk of falling objects and protection for personnel during operation, maintenance and assembly or disassembly phases.

General manager Francesco Aiello said: “Engineered to deliver precise, responsive load handling across the entire operating cycle, the CTL 712-45 integrates advanced control technologies that enhance efficiency while prioritising safety and operational accuracy. The model reflects the company’s continued focus on intelligent design and performance driven innovation,” stated
Global sales director Lee Maynard added: “This latest addition to our portfolio creates significant global opportunities, building on the proven success of the CTL 702-32. The new S-Pace cab has also been highly praised for its operator centric design.”
