SCX3500-3 PERFORMANCE

High-performance and compact. Operating capabilities to suit any worksite.
As a new generation of crane, the goal was to develop operating performance to meet any worksite,and comply with any requirement there. The SCX3500-3 is built on a compact body with a high level of
performance, ensuring operating capability in tight spaces while also covering a wide range of work areas.
As a crane catering to diverse work requirements, the SCX3500-3 is designed from the ground up to
make jobs even easier.

SCX3500-3 CONTROL

High-precision jobs, exactly as planned. Reliable control for more peace of mind.
A higher rigidity body and boom, combined with a lighter tower jib has resulted in drastic
improvements to swing operations. The crane can be operated smoothly exactly as
the operator would expect, for a supreme level of control. This takes the crane’s core operations oflifting and traveling to brand new heights.

Improvements to combined control
Separating the hydraulic circuits for hoisting
and boom hoisting by using two pumps
eliminates interference when hoisting loads
or hoisting the boom at the same time,ensuring maximum performance. Pump tilt
is controlled individually to suit theparticular job, which limits speed changes
when loads increase when using combined
control, for more predictable operation.
This also reduces the engine load and helps
to cut back on fuel consumption.

High-rigidity body and boom for unparalleled precision and handlingIn addition to greater rigidity for the lower frame, boom rigidity has also been
increased with the use of a wider boom foot and larger diameter boom material. Thishigher level of rigidity provides an outstanding level of control for high-precision anddependable operating capabilities. The result is faster hoisting and positioning ofloads, with minimal side deflection and twisting at the front of the crane. The mastsystem ensures a more responsive feel when using the hoisting levers.
