Terex, all-terrain crane, challenger 3160--New Branding Terex Challenger 3160

Terex has announced a new series of all-terrain cranes, unveiling the first in the line, a 3-axle 60t capacity taxi crane Challenger 3160 at a customer open day event at its Zweibrücken factory. The Challenger 3160 features the only 50m telescopic boom available on a three-axle all-terrain.
It is a one-man, taxi crane with 50 m boom in the 60 tonne capacity class. Self contained within the 12 tonne per axle weight limit, it will lift 35.6 tonnes at 4 m radius.

Carrier width is 2.55 m and it has the new ergonomic cab first shown by Terex at Bauma earlier this year. Anti-lock disc brakes and active all wheel steering help maneuverability and reduce tyre and brake wear. It has the IC-1 control system with an integrated range of functions, including load moment indicator, lifting charts, load limiter, fault indicator and data logger.

The Challenger 3160 will be commercially available in 2011, and will be followed by several other all-terrain cranes under the Challenger moniker, all with lift capacities under 100t. Its nomenclature is also part of a new branding that will appear across much of the Terex range. The first number in the model designation denotes the number of axles, in this case three. In a departure from recent practice, the remaining numbers indicate the tonne-metre rating, in this case 160 tonne-metres, instead of a maximum capacity rating in tonnes.
