Overview
110 tons of Tier 4 Final lattice capacity.
The 218|V is a 110-ton lattice crawler crane built around a two-piece 40 ft basic tube boom that extends to 230 ft, reaching a 278 ft 7 in tip height with the 75 ft fixed jib. A four-piece counterweight system lowers itself to the ground on its own removal cylinders, and the side frames hydraulically extend from a 9 ft retracted travel gauge to a 14 ft 2 in working gauge.
A Cummins QSB6.7 engine (280 hp, Tier 4 Final/Stage V) drives the crane through a 12-part boom hoist system and up to four hydraulic winch drums. The rated capacity limiter is a 12-inch touchscreen system that reads out live ground bearing pressure alongside boom angle, radius, and tip height, standard on every 218|V.
