Krupp model reference
The Krupp North American product-range archive lists KMK5110 at 110 ton maximum lifting capacity and 215 ft maximum hook height, and KMK5150 at 150 ton and 245 ft. These are product-range maxima, not a load chart for one radius or a statement that the maximum load reaches the maximum height.
Legacy KMK: maximum hook height is a different measure
Do not compare that maximum-hook-height column directly with a “without jib” boom-height figure in a secondary specification. Obtain the actual main-boom/jib arrangement and chart for the required working point.
A historical designation still needs its own documentation
Keep GMT and KMK model identity, serial range and units with the source. Counterweight, support arrangement, working sector and reeving can change the applicable capacity. The common manufacturer name does not make a neighboring model’s chart interchangeable.
For transport, identify the actual axle/weight arrangement and what is removed or carried separately. A crane’s maximum lifting capacity is not its traveling mass. The chart and transport documents answer different questions and both need to match the machine.
KMK5150: distinguish the carrier engine from the crane engine
The archived Krupp KMK5150 brochure contains separate carrier and superstructure descriptions. This matters when a secondary listing presents a single engine figure. The published carrier has a Mercedes-Benz OM 442 LA rated at 370 kW, shown as 503 HP, while the superstructure has an OM 366 A rated at 104 kW, shown as 141 HP.
Those are different engines on the documented configuration.
The brochure also keeps their measurement conditions separate: the carrier entry states 2100 rpm and fan loose under EG 80/1269; the superstructure entry states 1800 rpm and fan rigid under that reference. A buyer should retain the engine identity and power basis with a number. Selecting the larger power and applying it to the crane's hydraulic engine would misidentify the equipment, rather than produce a useful comparison.
The detailed record below labels this as the Krupp brochure configuration. It sits beside the secondary-reference records rather than silently replacing another listing's values. Establish which configuration and document apply to the actual crane.
If an advertised KMK5150 has a different engine designation, obtain the corresponding documentation before treating the brochure's engine, service or electrical details as its fitted specification.
Fuel, hydraulics and electrics belong to the correct system
The carrier description lists a 100-gallon fuel tank; the superstructure description lists a 50-gallon fuel tank. The separate 330-gallon entry describes the superstructure's hydraulic oil tank. Do not merge these into one generic capacity.
A service or transport record should identify the system as well as the quantity, particularly when another source uses an unqualified label such as fluid capacity.
The electrical descriptions make the same distinction. Both list a 28 V/55 A generator, but the carrier's two batteries are specified at 12 V/170 Ah and the superstructure's at 12 V/143 Ah. Carrier lighting and signals are separately described as 24 V.
Generator voltage, system description, battery voltage and battery capacity are different entries; copying them into one alternator or battery field can lose the original meaning.
For a parts inquiry, identify the affected system, the installed component and the crane's identification. A request based only on the largest engine-power figure or an undifferentiated electrical rating may refer to the wrong assembly. Keep the applicable manufacturer page and the component identification with the inquiry so differences between the actual crane and the historical description can be resolved.
Read the five-axle carrier description by function
The brochure identifies five axle lines, with the second, third and fifth driven. It describes the first, second, third and fifth as steering axle lines and the fourth as rigid. Driven and steering axle counts therefore answer different questions.
The carrier also has an Allison automatic CLBT 755 transmission and a two-speed transfer case with longitudinal differential lock.
Its standard tire description is ten 14.00 R25 tires. Other tire and drive/steering arrangements appear under additional equipment. Keep an optional arrangement separate from the standard description when comparing a used crane.
The presence of an option in the brochure is not proof that it is installed on the machine being offered or that another option's documentation applies to it.
The suspension description is lockable hydropneumatic suspension on all axle lines, with hydraulic axle lockout and suspension-level control. The carrier service brake is described as pneumatic dual-circuit operation acting on all wheels, with a hydraulic retarder integrated into the Allison powershift arrangement. These descriptions distinguish systems to identify and inspect; they are not a substitute for the operating and service instructions.
For a transport quotation, record the actual fitted equipment and what will travel separately. The maximum lifting capacity in a range table does not establish the traveling weight, axle loads or permit classification. Ask for the applicable transport information and the intended loaded arrangement rather than deriving road requirements from the crane's nominal tonnage.
Read the KMK5150 chart heading before reading a capacity cell
The main-boom tables on PDF page3 state lifting capacities in thousands of pounds. Separate tables identify counterweights of 46.3 and 27.8 in the document's thousand-pound convention. A decimal entry in a capacity cell is not a tonnage figure.
The units, support diagram and counterweight heading belong to the table; copying a cell without them removes information needed to interpret it.
The chart also identifies boom lengths and a working radius. At the 20-foot radius row and the ordinary 44-foot boom column, the upper table shows 121.0, while the lower table shows 112.0. Those entries are 121,000 and 112,000 pounds under their respective table conditions.
They illustrate that the same radius and nominal boom length do not identify one capacity without the counterweight configuration.
This is a reading example from a historical brochure, not a lift authorization. The actual crane's chart, serial applicability, configuration, deductions and complete instructions must govern any operation. Do not use the example as a chart for another Krupp model, apply it to an altered machine or infer a capacity where the applicable chart provides none.
The same boom-length heading can conceal a different extension pattern
Some nominal boom lengths appear in more than one column. The extension-percentage rows beneath the capacity cells explain why: the telescopic sections can be in different arrangements at the same overall length. Identify that arrangement before selecting the column.
Choosing the column with the more favorable capacity merely because the length matches does not establish that the crane is configured for it.
The brochure's upper table provides a concrete example at 30-foot radius: its two 74-foot columns show 70.0 and 76.0 in the stated thousand-pound units. The extension rows below those columns differ. The nominal length alone therefore loses a meaningful distinction.
Keep the extension pattern with the capacity comparison rather than treating a repeated column title as a redundant value.
For a documented lift assessment, the record needs to distinguish the relevant boom arrangement from a nearby column that happens to show the same length. The applicable instructions establish how the arrangement is identified. A general model summary cannot fill in that setup information, even when it contains the correct maximum boom length.
Hook-elevation diagrams and load tables answer different questions
The hook-elevation diagram on PDF page2 shows the main boom and lattice extension geometrically. The main-boom capacity tables follow on another page. Use a reach or height diagram to understand the illustrated envelope, while retaining the appropriate capacity table and its conditions.
A position lying inside a drawn envelope does not independently establish the allowable load at that position.
The main-boom construction description identifies a pivot basic section and four telescopic sections, with hydraulic extension and a total length of 166 feet. The additional-equipment list separately identifies a swing-away lattice arrangement of 33–52 feet plus an insert. Do not turn the maximum hook-height entry into an unqualified main-boom-length figure or assume the optional lattice equipment is present.
Keep the measurement's name in a side-by-side comparison. Boom length, hook elevation and working radius describe different geometry. Maximum capacity is another quantity again.
A brochure can list all of them without claiming that the maximum load reaches the maximum height at the maximum radius. The applicable chart supplies the relationship for a documented configuration.
Use the historical product range to locate a model, then use its own documents
The final brochure page gives a North American product-range overview. Its rows pair a maximum lifting capacity with a maximum hook height; they do not publish a working-radius capacity for each machine. That makes the table useful for locating a historical designation, while leaving the actual chart and setup as separate requirements.
For example, the KMK5110 and KMK5150 entries above are range maxima. A comparison of those rows cannot decide whether either crane can perform a particular lift. Identify the required geometry and configuration, then obtain the matching documents.
Retain the full model designation because the overview includes neighboring models with different maxima and equipment.
When reconciling an advertisement with the reference records, separate a genuine specification difference from a difference in what was measured. Carrier power and superstructure power, main-boom length and hook height, or fuel tank and hydraulic tank are not conflicting numbers merely because their values differ. First match the quantity, units and configuration; then investigate any remaining discrepancy.
A useful purchase file keeps the crane identification, the installed engine and carrier arrangements, the fitted boom or extension equipment, the applicable charts and the transport configuration together. Those details support specific inspection and supplier questions. The maker name and a maximum-tonnage headline are useful identifiers, but they do not settle those equipment-specific decisions.
