NXT13DC CNG Crane in the 13-tonne class has a 49.5 HP BS-III engine compatible with CNG and a straight axle backend. Further, it has three parts fully powered boom with a maximum height of 13m and 14x24 heavy-duty rear tyres along with front outriggers for stability and safety during erection or high height work.
The RC2522 is equipped with anti-toppling features and a 110 HP Kirloskar engine, automatic transmission, and a low turning radius of just 6.6m.
The company said that the crane can be used as a Telehandler with a maximum capacity of 8T and comes with a man carrying basket and a foldable fly jib.
Additionally, the boom and chassis of this crane are made from high structural strength material for better endurance, the company added.
Along with the new products, the company also showcased its existing product portfolio in material handling, soil compaction and earth moving equipment across its Yellow Line and White Line series.
The Yellow Line series is designed for all standard applications and appeals to a wide customer base in the Indian market. In contrast, the White Line series is targeted to address the higher performance demands of fleet owners and corporate customers.
Sanjeev Bajaj, CE, Escorts Construction Equipment, said that the ongoing push for infrastructure projects is expected to increase the demand for stable, safer, advanced tech equipment and more productive solutions in the construction and material handling equipment industry space.
