New mid-range crawler
from Sany America
Sany America has launched
a mid-range crawler crane,
the Sany SCC8150. The crane
has a lift capacity of 165 tons,
and fills a strategic position
between Sany’s 110-ton
SCC8100 and the 220-ton
SCC8200, the company said.
The SCC8150 can be
configured with either a main
boom that reaches up to 269
feet or a fixed jib up to 102
feet. A fuel-efficient, 340-hp
(316 kW), Tier 4 interim-
certified Cummins engine
powers the crane, and a 325-
hp (242 kW), Tier 3 Cummins
engine also is available.
“The SCC8150 gives
contractors a new option
in a competitive segment
of the market,” said Kyle
Nape, Sany America.
“Our new crane delivers
a superior combination
of control, performance,
operator comfort, power and
dependability that meets and
exceeds the requirements for a
machine in this weight class.”
The crawler crane’s Porsche-
designed UltraCab 2 provides
operator comfort with
enhanced ergonomics, large
windows for clear visibility,
heat and air conditioning, and
well-placed function screens
and video monitors. Other
features include a boom-
elevation device, emergency
stop of all functions, two
externally mounted cameras
to monitor machine
operations, aircraft warning
light on the main boom and
“shove-off ” protection that
prevents the machine from
working unless the operator is
seated in the cab.

Bill Hankins, crane sales specialist, Lyle Machinery, Richland, MS. “It was a first-class event that
demonstrated Sany’s commitment to the U.S. market. We’re very impressed with Sany’s investment
in product development and support. This gives customers and dealers a lot of confidence in the
company’s future here.”
