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 travels on steel tracks and uses a boom built from pinned steel sections assembled on site, rather than a single hydraulic tube that extends out.
The tracks spread the machine's weight across a wide footprint, which makes them the right tool for soft ground, uneven terrain, and long-duration lifts where a wheeled crane would struggle to hold position.
If a job calls for sustained heavy lifts over multiple shifts, or the ground won't support a wheeled machine, a crawler is usually the answer.
-
What is the difference between the CKS and CKE series?
The CKS (S Series) was developed with transport, assembly speed, and operator ergonomics as the lead priorities. It suits operations that move machines between sites regularly.
The CKE (G Series) places a stronger emphasis on fuel efficiency, environmental performance, and hydraulic precision.
Both series cover the same core lifting applications. The right choice comes down to your site priorities, how often the machine moves, and your cycle frequency. TRT can work through that with you.
-
What transport width do these cranes come in, and how do they move between sites?
The Kobelco lattice boom crawlers are designed to transport at under 3 metres wide, which keeps most road moves practical without specialist permits.
The boom disassembles into pinned sections and loads separately. Kobelco built faster setup and breakdown directly into the design of both the CKS and CKE series, including improvements to how boom sections nest for loading.
For operations with frequent site changes, that reduced assembly time has a real impact on project cost and schedule.
-
Can these cranes handle soft ground or sloped sites?
Crawler tracks distribute the machine's weight across a much larger ground contact area than outrigger-based wheeled cranes, which gives them a clear advantage on soft or wet ground.
The hydraulic propel system on the Kobelco lattice boom range handles grades of up to 30 percent, with both skid steering and counter-rotating steering for tight manoeuvring on uneven terrain.
Ground bearing capacity still needs to be assessed site by site. TRT can advise on ground conditions, mat requirements, and configuration for your specific job..
-
What boom configurations are available across the range?
Most models offer standard crane boom and fixed jib as a baseline, with larger models adding luffing jib, long boom, tower jib, and heavy-duty boom configurations.
Maximum boom lengths run from 51.8 metres on the 7055-3F up to 102 metres on the CKE3000G in Super Heavy Lift configuration.
The right configuration depends on the lift radius, required height, and the load. Spec sheets for every model are available to download from this page.
-
What is KCROSS and do I need it?
KCROSS is Kobelco's satellite-based remote monitoring system. It relays location, fuel consumption, operating hours, and maintenance status from the crane to a connected device, wherever the machine is working.
For fleet owners running machines on remote projects or across multiple sites, that visibility reduces guesswork around maintenance scheduling and keeps asset utilisation honest.
It is included as standard on selected models in the range. TRT can confirm which models carry it and advise on how to connect it to your existing fleet management setup.
-
What service and parts support does TRT provide?
TRT is the authorised Kobelco crawler crane distributor for New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific, and has held that role for over 58 years in the crane industry.
Parts are sourced and stocked locally, not ordered internationally. TRT's crane technicians are trained specifically on Kobelco equipment, and mobile repair teams can reach remote sites across both countries.
Maintenance plans, emergency callouts, and ongoing crane care are all available after delivery. The support doesn't stop at handover.
