This Ruston-Bucyrus CH65 is a lattice boom crawler crane, a type of heavy lifting machine — sometimes referred to as a crawler crane or lattice crane — used across construction, civil engineering, infrastructure, and industrial projects where high-capacity lifts must be carried out over varied or soft terrain. Ruston-Bucyrus was a long-established British manufacturer of cranes and excavating equipment, known for producing robust machines for demanding applications in the construction and extractive industries.
Built in 1996 in the United Kingdom and carrying serial number C40190, this machine is rated to a maximum lifting capacity of 65 tonnes, with a boom length of 36 metres. Power comes from a Cummins LTA 10 six-cylinder engine developing 275 horsepower, which was replaced new in February 2018, giving the machine a relatively recent and well-documented engine installation. The undercarriage is of the tractor type and was also renewed in February 2018, meaning two of the most wear-critical components of the machine — the engine and the running gear — have been replaced within the same refurbishment period.
Load moment safety is provided by a Wylie system, type WW250, which monitors and limits lifts to help protect both the crane and its operators during operation. The crane is described as servo-controlled, referring to its hydraulic or mechanical control assistance system. The machine is currently located in the Netherlands.
