Fast reverse for Chinese mobile cranes

27 Jul 21 All terrain mobile cranes made by China’s XCMG are set to be the first machines to use a new propulsion system from Allison Transmission.

Allison’s new TerraTran is a variant of its 4000 Series transmission but with increased horsepower, torque and GVW capability, as well as fast reverse capability.

TerraTran is purpose built for off-highway applications such as mobile crane, articulated dump truck and wide-body mining dump trucks, with enough application flexibility to enable Allison to target multiple additional on-highway opportunities, it says.

TerraTran has maximum power capability of up to 800 horsepower (597kW), and torque capability up to 3,025 lbs/ft (4,100Nm), depending on application. TerraTran also has seven forward and two reverse speeds.

Allison is collaborating with Xuzhou ԭ Machinery Group (XCMG) in China to introduce TerraTran in XCMG’s all terrain crane series.

“Collaborating with XCMG on their all-terrain crane application is a successful example of Allison working closely with our OEM partners to develop innovative solutions that deliver unparalleled performance and productivity to our end-user customers, all in an effort to improve the way the world works,” said Allison Transmission director Kartik Ramanan.
