Press Release

Terex® Demag CC8800-1 TWIN revolutionizes the construction of large industrial facilities

The first unit of the world’s largest lattice boom crawler crane that can travel with load, the Terex® Demag CC8800-1 TWIN, will be handed over to its new owner, Al Jaber Heavy Lift, at the beginning of October.

The TWIN add-on kit for the successful 1600t (1763 tons) crawler crane Terex® Demag CC8800-1 increases its range of operation to a lifting capacity of 3200t (3527 tons).

The innovative modular crane system of the Terex® Demag CC8800-1 TWIN is based on the multiple utilization of modules of the CC8800-1. For its owners it opens up the widest possible range of deployment options for a reduced cost of ownership.

The name TWIN refers to the impressive double boom and the multiple utilization of the tried and tested CC8800-1 modules, which are complemented by a small number of additional components. The transport characteristics of the CC8800-1 have been optimized for worldwide transport and have been retained for the TWIN.

Operating as a pick-and-carry crawler crane with 3200t (3527 tons) lifting capacity and a maximum load moment of 44000 meter tonnes (319,000 feet kips) the TWIN represents a considerable saving of both time and space requirements in the erection of large industrial facilities – when compared with ring lift cranes and jacking towers.
