NEW TEREX TOPLIFT 036G TRUCK CRANES BOAST NEW FEATURES, STYLING AND STANDARDIZATION WITH TEREX CRANE FAMILY
Dec 04, 2012SHANGHAI, CHINA, November 30th, 2012 – The new Terex Toplift 036G truck crane from Terex China boasts many of the same technological innovations found throughout the entire Terex family of cranes. Built with pride in Luzhou, China, the new 36 t class crane represents the next advancement in bringing Terex design, operation and styling to the China market. Operators of the new Toplift truck crane will experience a user interface, ergonomic control layout, and look and feel common to Terex crane models working in other major world markets.
The 36-tonne Terex Toplift 036G features a lightweight but powerful five-section boom with a 38 m fully extended boom length and 51 m maximum tip height. Its 14-m jib manually swings into position and offers 1- and 30-degree offset positions.
“The Toplift 036G follows the two award winning models introduced last year. They are true Terex cranes that share more common features and styling details than ever before,” says Ken Lousberg, president of Terex China. “The new crane incorporates design elements (or features) based on extensive customer and dealer feedback. They blend Chang Jiang’s legacy for strength and lift performance with the latest Terex innovations.”
Spacious new driver and operator cab designs greatly increase operator comfort and efficiency. The cabs are based on the same designs found on Terex all terrain cranes operating globally. Abundant leg and shoulder room, adjustable suspension seat, ergonomic control placement, and available heating and air conditioning provide the operator with an environment that enhances productivity over extended hours.
Large cabin windows provide excellent visibility to lift points and to the left and right sides of the crane. The rated capacity indicator features a graphical display that provides immediate feedback of load weight and alerts the operator before the load is outside the rated lifting capacity for radius and configuration. Left- and right-hand pilot-actuated multi axis joysticks provide efficient and intuitive control over boom raise/lower, upper carriage slewing, boom extension/retraction, line raise/lower, and auxiliary second winch operation.
The truck crane features hydraulic hose and electrical wire routing common to other Terex crane models. Banjo-type connector fittings and secured hydraulic line routing enhance crane longevity. Additional crimping and plastic tubing protect electrical wires during operation to improve the crane’s jobsite availability.
A new five-section boom design weighs less without sacrificing lift performance. The engines powering the crane offer the latest in emissions control technology and meet China’s National Exhaust Standard IV. Featuring a simple swing out design, the crane’s jib is quickly locked into operating position via two pins. Maximum travel speeds of 75 km/h reduce transport time to and from the jobsite.
The Toplift 036G features a single or dual winch design to accomplish even the most complex lifts for the popular 36 tonne crane market. When secured into position with its four hydraulic outriggers, the Toplift 036G offers a 36,000-kg lift capacity at 3.5-m radius.
