Tutt Bryant Equipment has announced the Australian release of the new Kato MR130 (13 tonne) City Crane which the company says features a number of significant changes to suit Australian legislation and markets.
According to Tutt Bryant, the crane still contains many of its
predecessor’s functions despite the modifications. The MR130
features a six section boom to 24 metres, fully hydraulic offset
fly-jib (5-60 degrees), joystick controls, common rail diesel
engine and a new model transmission with improved gradeability.
Kato Crane Product Manager at Tutt Bryant Equipment Ian Eyres
says while there are numerous domestic Japanese models of the crane
currently operating in Australia, it was necessary to request that
Kato produce an Australian version that was 100 per cent compliant
with the country’s legislation.
Tutt Bryant has been a Kato dealer for almost 30 years and
according to the company, the new model has taken in excess of 16
months to complete.
The newly released crane is supported with a full Kato factory
warranty and national support through Tutt Bryant Equipment.
