Raimondi enters crawler crane segment with first new-generation Terex model

Building on the acquisition of Terex key lifting brands, Raimondi Group enhances its position as a multi-segment lifting solution provider with an entry into a new lifting category: the telecrawler crane segment. 

The new line debuts with the TTC 70, a telecrawler crane designed, engineered, and manufactured at the Group's rough terrain headquarters in Crespellano, Bologna, Italy. The model establishes the foundation of a renewed product category, with additional models planned in the near future.

A new lifting line to meet market demand 

The new telecrawler line bridges a gap in the market, offering a solution that combines the mobility of crawler cranes with the operational efficiency and ease of use typically associated with rough terrain machines.

Unlike traditional rough terrain cranes, which rely on outriggers and require fully levelled conditions to operate at maximum capacity, these cranes offer enhanced operational flexibility. 

Mounted on crawler tracks, the TTC 70 eliminates the need for outriggers and operates on slopes of up to 4 degrees, significantly reducing setup time and increasing job site flexibility. Its lower ground pressure enables work on less compact terrain, while maintaining higher lifting capacities while travelling compared to wheeled counterparts, making it particularly suited for compact job sites, uneven ground conditions, and critical infrastructure or energy-related applications.

"The unveiling of the TTC 70 marks a pivotal moment for Raimondi as we continue to evolve into a fully integrated, multi-segment lifting solutions provider, meeting the evolving needs of the global lifting industry," said Luigi Maggioni, chief executive officer, Raimondi Group.

"The expansion into the crawler crane segment reflects our commitment to innovation and diversification, while building on a strong engineering heritage and extending our global footprint," Maggioni continued.

A lifting solution that operates on uneven or steep terrain 

Increasing demand across infrastructure, energy, and complex construction projects has highlighted the need for lifting solutions capable of operating efficiently on uneven or low-bearing terrain, while maintaining high lifting performance.

The TTC 70 features a maximum lifting capacity of 70 tonnes, a maximum boom length of 36.8 metres, and a drum capacity of 215 metres of lifting rope. The telecrawler is powered by an engine available in Stage V and Stage IIIA configurations, both equipped with a 300-liter fuel tank. The Stage V engine delivers 168kW at 2,200 round per minute (rpm), while the Stage IIIA version provides the same rpm at 164kW.

The model also incorporates a range of advanced technologies aimed at enhancing performance, safety, and operator experience. These include the TEOS operating system adapted for crawler cranes, T-Link connectivity, and an electronic dynamic management system for the main hydraulic pump, optimizing both performance and fuel consumption.

Operator ergonomics have been further improved through a redesigned cab offering increased space, intuitive joystick controls, and enhanced accessibility. A latest-generation remote control system enables full machine operation, allowing tasks such as counterweight assembly and disassembly to be performed by a single operator, reducing setup time and improving overall jobsite efficiency.

Designed and built in compliance with EU safety standards, the TTC 70 enjoys optimized transportability, with a maximum width of 3 meters and reduced transport weight when configured without counterweights. Additionally, a high level of component commonality with the TRT range simplifies maintenance and operational familiarity for users.

Raimondi's telecrawler crane line will continue to expand 

Targeting key markets such as the United States and Canada, the new telecrawler line is expected to meet strong demand from rental companies, contractors, and infrastructure specialists. 

The first units of the TTC 70 are expected to be delivered within 2026, following an extensive testing program that includes both internal validation and field trials to ensure performance and reliability in real-world conditions.

With this launch, the Group reinforces its commitment to innovation and market responsiveness, setting the path for continued growth across multiple product segments.

"The decision to re-enter the crawler crane segment reflects shifting industry requirements, particularly in applications where versatility, mobility, and performance in challenging environments are critical," commented Stefania D'Apoli, global sales director, Terex Rough Terrain division.
