Built to hold the line.
More capacity, more configuration, more confidence. The Kobelco range delivers.
Engineered for demanding lifts and tough site conditions, Kobelco lattice boom crawlers deliver dependable performance with precise control and efficient operation.
From everyday construction picks to heavy-lift work, TRT supplies the right configuration for your job - backed by NZ-wide parts, service, and crane expertise when it counts.
When the job is complex, the gear has to be predictable. Kobelco lattice boom crawler cranes are built for stability, smooth handling, and repeatable lifts - so your crew can focus on the plan, not the machine.
With real configuration depth across the range, each model supports multiple boom and jib setups, so the solution specified for the job is the one designed to do it - not the closest available compromise.
-
Wide model range for real-world lifting
From compact machines through to serious capacity, the range gives you coverage for changing job demands.
You specify the right size and performance envelope for the work, without forcing the plan to suit the crane.
-
Multiple boom and jib configurations
Each model supports multiple boom and jib setups to suit radius, height, clearance, and access constraints.
You turn up with the configuration the lift requires - so you’re not building workarounds once you’re already on the clock.
-
Precision control for accurate placement
Control accuracy within 1cm tolerances means confident placement in conditions where close is not close enough.
For critical load positioning around existing structure or in confined corridors, that precision keeps the job moving and the risk low.
-
Efficient, economical performance
Kobelco designs efficient operation into the machine from the engineering stage.
Reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions are the result of that approach, not an add-on.
For projects operating under environmental requirements or sustainability commitments, the Kobelco range meets those expectations from day one.
-
Transport-focused design thinking
Practical transport and setup considerations are built into the design approach across the range.It helps you move, configure, and get working with fewer delays - especially when schedules are tight.
-
Configurable jib lengths
Jib lengths across the range can be configured to match the reach, capacity, and site footprint the project requires.
Selecting the right jib length from the outset means the crane works efficiently within its rated capacity rather than carrying unnecessary radius on a constrained site.
-
TRT Parts and Service Support
TRT supports the full Kobelco lattice boom range across New Zealand and Australia.Factory-trained technicians, a parts inventory across both countries, and after-hours availability mean the machine gets attended to when it needs it, not when a parts order arrives from overseas.
Performance Across the Full Range
The capacity range runs from 55t to 350t, with boom lengths from 51.8m to 102m across eleven models.
For a project team working from a known lift weight and working radius, those two figures narrow the model choice quickly.
Jib configuration - fixed, luffing, tower, or long boom - determines the final specification once capacity and reach are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a lattice boom crawler crane, and when would I need one?
A lattice boom crawler crane uses steel tracks and a pinned steel-section boom assembled on site. The tracks spread weight across soft or uneven ground, making crawlers ideal for long-duration heavy lifts where wheeled cranes may not suit.
-
What is the difference between the CKS and CKE series?
The CKS Series is built around transport, fast assembly and operator comfort, making it well suited to frequent site moves. The CKE Series focuses more on fuel efficiency, environmental performance and hydraulic precision. Both handle core crawler crane work — the right choice depends on your site, move frequency and lifting cycle.
-
What transport width do these cranes come in, and how do they move between sites?
Kobelco lattice boom crawlers transport at under 3m wide, helping keep road moves practical. The boom breaks into pinned sections for separate loading, with both CKS and CKE series designed for faster setup, breakdown and site changes.
-
Can these cranes handle soft ground or sloped sites?
Crawler tracks spread machine weight for better performance on soft, wet or uneven ground. Kobelco lattice boom crawlers also offer strong gradeability and tight manoeuvring, with TRT support to assess ground conditions, matting and the right setup for your job.
-
What boom configurations are available across the range?
Most models offer standard boom and fixed jib options, with larger models adding luffing jib, long boom, tower jib and heavy-duty configurations. The right setup depends on lift radius, height and load. Spec sheets are available to download on this page.
-
What is KCROSS and do I need it?
KCROSS is Kobelco’s remote monitoring system, tracking location, fuel use, operating hours and maintenance status. It helps fleet owners plan servicing, reduce guesswork and keep machines working. TRT can confirm model availability and setup.
-
What service and parts support does TRT provide?
TRT is the authorised Kobelco crawler crane distributor for New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific, backed by decades of crane experience. With local parts, trained technicians and mobile service support, TRT keeps Kobelco cranes working well beyond delivery.
