Terex’s new flat-top enhances versatility

01 October 2019

Terex says its new CTT 202-10 flat-top tower crane in the 10-tonne class offers increased job versatility, thanks to its expanded chassis, jib and tower configurations.

The CTT 202-10, which was launched at bauma – a leading construction equipment showcase held in Munich, Germany, in April – offers three chassis options, budget to performance, with 3.8 m, 4.5 m, and 6 m base selections.

“The new crane can be configured with H20, TS21 and TS16 masts, offering from 1.6- to 2.1-m widths, so customers can efficiently manage component inventory while cost-effectively meeting tower height needs,” says a spokeswoman for Terex tower cranes.

The CTT 202-10 also features a new control system that brings easy and quick set-up, Terex Power Plus (TPP) and Power Match functions.

The spokeswoman describes the CTT 202-10 as a very flexible and competitive crane.

“Our primary focus is always to develop an efficient and versatile crane that gives our customers the best return on investment,” she says. “Beyond outstanding product performance at an attractive price, we also project high residual value to satisfy the future needs of our customers.”

Offering an extended variety of options, the CTT 202-10 flat-top tower crane gives customers nine different jib configurations from 25 to 65 m to meet varying jobsite needs. With its competitive load chart, the crane delivers a maximum 10-tonne capacity at a length reaching 24.2-m, depending on jib set-up, and can hoist up to a 2.3-tonne load at the maximum 65-m jib length.

Terex Cranes’ Terex Power Plus feature will temporarily allow for an increase of the maximum load moment under specific and controlled conditions by 10 per cent, giving the operator extra lifting capacity during those conditions.

Taking into consideration operator comfort, the crane’s new cabin offers outstanding visibility and comfort. It features a fully adjustable comfort seat and joystick controls with short stroke length, providing a comfortable work experience throughout long shifts. Built-in heating and air-conditioning maintain consistent cabin temperatures, regardless of working in below freezing winter temperatures or the heat of summer. The large, full-colour 18-cm display with an anti-glare screen provides operating and troubleshooting data to the operator.

Hoist, slewing and trolley speeds are designed so operators can move and position heavy loads efficiently and precisely. The crane’s new control system features expanded configuration options, allowing the CTT 202-10 to efficiently quickly adapt to different jobsite needs. The controls package includes the Terex Power Match feature that gives the operator the choice between operating performance or lower energy consumption to fit lifting needs.

Depending on the tower configuration, the CTT 202-10 crane delivers a maximum under hook height of 76.7 m and provides a competitive maximum crane height to shorten erection time and lower costs at the jobsite, the spokeswoman says.

Optimised for transport, all tower segments come preassembled with durable aluminium ladders for efficient erection. Each jib section features an independent lifeline to aid with safe work at height installation, and the galvanised jib walkways deliver increased operating longevity.

The new Terex flat top tower crane can be equipped with a radio remote control to increase operating efficiency. It is built ready for installation of available zoning and anti-collision systems and cameras and the next generation of Terex tower telematics, T-Link, a powerful yet simple tool to optimise efficiency and reduce costs, which connects every crane in the fleet.

This allows business and technical managers to centrally gather a wide range of real-time data and run a variety of analysis to assess their fleet’s performance.
