Kato is a well-known Japanese crane manufacturer founded in 1895. The product line includes many different types of cranes, such as truck cranes, rough terrain cranes, all terrain cranes and many other crane models. Also, Kato produces a variety of carriers specifically designed for its cranes for additional versatility and productivity. With advanced technologies for increased safety, reliability and performance, the Kato cranes are considered as some of the finest that can be found on the market. The perfect example is the NK-500E-V, a fully hydraulic truck crane.
All Kato cranes are fully hydraulic truck cranes which have the lifting capacity of up to 50.5 tons and a maximum boom length of 40 meters. The maximum lifting height of the NK-500E-V is 55 meters. Also, the vertical deflection and bending during lifts is significantly reduced. The Fullpower boom features a synchronized retraction control system that speeds up the operation, even when it is fully extended.
The cabin of Kato cranes is very spacious and comfortable, making the working environment very pleasant for the operators. The interior of the cabin features relaxing colors and comes with a sliding door for easy access. The windows are mounted on the roof to provide a great ventilation. The levers length is adjustable, as well as the operator seat. All these features provide comfy and roomy cabin even during extended operation periods.
Like all Kato cranes, this fully hydraulic truck crane has a digital display that shows the boom angle, boom length, the safety level, working radius and many other important information. The Kato NK-500E-V features a trouble indicator. This indicator warns the operator when some malfunction or breakdown emerges.
For increased stability, the Kato cranes use outriggers when lifting heavy loads. They are 7.2 meters long at maximum stroke and they can be fully extended even on restricted areas. The outriggers come as a single unit with vertical cylinders, reducing the operation time significantly.
