Sany SAC600E All-Terrain Crane: A Marvel in Heavy Lifting
Overview of the Sany SAC600E
All-terrain crane SAC600E, built by Sany Heavy Industries, has made its mark in China where it has been bought and approved by Ningxia San He Cheng Lifting Transport Co., Ltd. The company is all set to build a new-generation green power station in Inner Mongolia, China’s wind energy-rich region.
Performing in Challenging Terrains
In doing so, the crane will have to navigate through rocky mountains and the intense Gobi Desert. Sany’s top-class build quality and Allisson’s 4500 Specialty Series fully automatic transmission make the SAC600E the perfect crane for the job.
Power and Performance
The crane is powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM470LA off-road six-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine, which produces a mind-boggling 1900Nm of torque. All this power is efficiently managed by Allisson’s transmission, which features a three-phase torque converter and a planetary gear set. Not only does Allisson’s transmission translate all that power to the tarmac, but it also boasts low maintenance, which is a significant advantage.
User Experience
“The SAC600E is currently the smallest tonnage of all-terrain cranes in China. Whether it’s crossing the flat desert or going uphill, it always travels smoothly and swiftly. It’s our magic crane for efficient operations in tough terrains,” said Qu Kai, deputy general manager of Ningxia San He Cheng Lifting Transport Co., Ltd.
While appreciating the crane, Qu said: “I don’t feel like I’m driving a heavy crane in the desert, but I’m starting to enjoy what feels like driving a luxury car.” Now that is some very high praise, indeed.
