L I F T T H E W O R L D.
The goal was to make valuable contributions in various fields around the world.
To achieve this, HSC created a whole new benchmark for crawler cranes.
With outstanding workability and high-precision operation,these cranes have the potential to increase efficiency of transportation and assembly.
The new benchmark has been widely improved – from an environmentally-friendly design andgreat fuel economy, through to the latest in safety and reliability.
Performance that provides comfortable operation to generate value in the lifting world.
Behold the “SCX1500A-3” making its global mark for a new generation.
This new benchmark is set to take the world, business, and even the future, to all new highs.

The Good Design Award has been granted
to the "SCX-3 Series" for its superb operability, easeof transportation and assembly, safety, and eco-friendly
performance as a new generation of crane.

SCX1500A-3 PERFORMANCE

Precision and workability to transform any work site.
Introducing a new generation of crane that for ideal workability and performance to suit any work site.

The SCX1500A-3 offers users unprecedented work precision and efficiency, and more than ample power
for any job. Be in control of a crane that takes performance to new levels, with an uncompromised
approach to work.

A high-rigidity boom for the toughest jobs
Boom width

Both the boom foot width and boom width, as2000 mmwell as the bracing strength, have been
increased to improve the strength of the boom
itself. This helps to deliver advanced stability
during work, to reduce side deflection andtwisting throughout the front of the crane, andto make positioning loads quicker. A mastsystem has been employed to improve
operating response.

SCX1500A-3 CONTROL

High-precision, exactly as intended. A level of control available to all.
Flexible operation and performance makes the crane truly shine during heavy lifting or precision jobs.

The crane has been designed so that it can be operated by anyone, exactly as they intend to, instead of
relying on the operator’s level of experience or skill. Outstanding usability has been the key behinddevelopment, and can be experienced at your work site, wherever in the world that may be.

OPTIONThe optional brake uses a new multiple wet-disc type that offers better control.
A hanging brake pedal gives the operator smooth and precise response.
Reliable braking performance is now a reality even under high loads, all while
minimizing disc temperature. The system can even be used for heavy digging
and foundation work that utilizes free-fall operation* .

Swing brake operation pedal

OPTIONA swing brake operation pedal has been
employed to ensure precise swing control understrong-wind situations. This maintains a high levelof control when swinging the cab around, even on
the harshest of work sites.

*Free-fall function is an optional extra for models equipped with the 12 t rated line pull winch.
