Meet the KOBELCO 16t RK160-2: The Compact Crane for Your WA Project

Tight access? Uneven ground? Tight deadline? Meet the KOBELCO 16t RK160-2 mobile slewing crane from South West Cranes. This isn't just another machine; it's a game-changer for builders and trades across WA, built for the real-world challenges you face on site every day.

A Legacy of Quality

KOBELCO's history of innovation is deeply rooted in Japan's industrial development, with its origins tracing back to 1905. As a brand of Kobe Steel, it played a crucial role in building the nation's first construction machinery. Over the decades, KOBELCO has consistently pushed the boundaries of crane technology. This long-standing commitment to engineering excellence is evident in the RK series, to which the RK160-2 belongs. These rough-terrain cranes are the culmination of years of development, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern job sites with unmatched reliability and performance.

Features That Impress

With a maximum lifting capacity of 16 tonnes and a main boom that extends up to 25 meters, the RK160-2 packs a serious punch. Its compact design—just 2.2 meters wide—allows it to navigate tight spaces with ease. The crane also features 4-wheel drive and multiple steering modes, including crab steer, giving our operators precise control in challenging areas.

Ideal for Diverse Projects

The RK160-2's combination of power and precision makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of lifting applications. Its ability to handle rough and uneven terrain, combined with its maneuverability in tight spaces, makes it an indispensable asset for projects such as:

• Residential and Commercial Construction: From lifting steel beams and precast concrete panels on new builds to placing trusses for roof installation, this crane excels in urban and suburban environments with limited access.

• Maintenance and Installation: It's the perfect tool for placing heavy machinery in workshops, installing large air conditioning units on rooftops, or handling delicate infrastructure components like communication equipment and power transformers.

• Specialty Lifts: The crane's precision and reach make it ideal for delicate jobs such as safely lowering boats into the water, lifting spas over fences, or precisely placing swimming pools.

• Civil and Infrastructure Work: Whether it's lifting pipes for a new pipeline or assisting with bridge and rail maintenance, the Kobelco 16t Crane's all-terrain capabilities allow it to perform in a variety of off-road conditions in WA.

If your project requires heavy lifting in a tight spot or on uneven ground, this crane is an excellent solution.
