This Bucyrus-Erie 71B HD is a lattice boom crawler crane — sometimes referred to as a lattice boom crane or crawler crane — a type of heavy lifting machine used for construction, infrastructure, industrial, and heavy-rigging applications where high capacity, stability, and the ability to travel over rough or soft ground are required. Bucyrus-Erie is a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy equipment for construction, mining, and excavation industries.
This particular unit dates from 1977 and is offered in used condition from New Orleans, Louisiana. The seller describes it as mechanically sound and running well, with a history as a former corporation machine.
The crane is powered by a Detroit Diesel 12V71 engine paired with a three-stage torque converter, a drivetrain configuration well regarded for delivering controlled, progressive power delivery suited to demanding crane work. The boom is configured at 100 feet of angle boom with a two-sheave tip, providing the reach and rigging versatility needed for a wide range of lift scenarios. The machine is equipped with an independent boom hoist, which allows the boom angle to be adjusted separately from the load line — an important operational feature on a working crane of this class.
Additional equipment and features noted include full counterweights, which contribute to lift capacity and stability, a galvanized operator's cab, and what the seller describes as a full complement of standard crane accessories. The galvanized cab construction is a notable detail, offering enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard painted steel. The unit is located in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is priced at $51,000.
