This advanced crane is powered by a robust 194 kW Stage V diesel engine, complemented by high-pressure-regulated hydraulic motors that deliver exceptional pulling force and rope speeds.
The 6203 E is specifically engineered for demanding applications such as heavy precast concrete assembly, bridge construction, and wind turbine installation, offering unparalleled stability and flexibility.
Equipped with a 6-section Pin Boom system, 16 preset Extend Modes, and a telescopic crawler undercarriage, the crane adapts seamlessly to various construction site requirements.
The innovative SENCON Load Control system enhances operator comfort, featuring a dedicated control screen, real-time floor pressure display, and an intuitive touch interface.
The 6203 E will make its debut at bauma 2025, taking place from April 7-13 at the SENNEBOGEN booth in Munich.
SENNEBOGEN is marking a significant milestone in crane technology at bauma 2025. With the introduction of the 6203 E telescopic crawler crane, boasting a maximum load capacity of 200 metric tons and a jib length of up to 78 meters, the company is significantly expanding its product line with the largest and most powerful model to date. This launch is complemented by a completely overhauled machine control system.
Having established a strong presence in the international market, an increasing number of contractors and crane rental companies are recognizing the versatility and advantages of telescopic crawler cranes. "SENNEBOGEN brings over 33 years of expertise in mobile and telescopic crawler cranes. We are currently observing a rising demand for large telescopic crawler cranes. In response, we are significantly enhancing our offerings with the new 200-ton crane," stated Managing Director Erich Sennebogen.
The 6203 E is the tenth model in the telescopic crawler crane series, showcasing its capabilities particularly well in scenarios requiring high capacities at varying radii and under challenging site conditions. The crane is driven by an efficient 194 kW Stage V diesel engine, compatible with HVO fuel if desired. Both the main and auxiliary winches are powered by high-pressure-regulated variable displacement hydraulic motors, delivering an impressive pulling force of 135 kN each and rope speeds of up to 115 m/min. This machine is ideally suited for heavy precast concrete assembly, bridge and infrastructure construction, as well as serving as an agile service and auxiliary crane for wind turbine projects.
Exceptional load capacities are achievable in any situation. The 6203 E features a 6-section Pin Boom that can extend to 56.4 meters. The lightweight and stable telescoping system ensures outstanding lifting capacities even at extended boom lengths. An additional pin point at 90% extension on each section enhances boom rigidity, resulting in remarkable lifting capacities even at significant lengths.
The 6203 E excels with long boom lengths while maintaining exceptional strength with shorter boom configurations and at angles of up to 4 degrees. This adaptability makes it particularly effective on uneven construction sites or in pick-and-carry operations. The boom can also be extended to 78 meters with a hydraulically adjustable jib, making it especially suitable for structural engineering tasks. To streamline operations, 16 preset 'Extend Modes' offer the most effective boom configurations, enabling quick adjustments and saving valuable time.
The telescopic crawler undercarriage features a maximum track width of 6.0 meters, which can be adjusted to as narrow as 3.5 meters based on construction site requirements. The robust undercarriage design and high load capacities in inclined positions provide the 200-ton telecrane with exceptional power, allowing it to travel with 100% of its specified load capacity on the hook. It can also rotate the specified load capacities a full 360 degrees. Standard 1,000 mm double grouser track shoes ensure maximum stability and minimize floor pressure, with optional durable polyamide plates available to protect sensitive surfaces.
The machine control system has been completely revised with the introduction of the new SENCON Load Control (SLC). Like all large SENNEBOGEN telescopic cranes, this model features the Maxcab large-capacity cab, which tilts by 20 degrees to provide operators with an optimal view of the load. For enhanced visibility, the cab can be hydraulically raised to a viewing height of 5.70 meters and tilted by 30 degrees. Additional cameras positioned to the rear and right expand the operator's field of vision, ensuring comprehensive awareness of the safety and working area.
A standout feature of the operator assistance technology is the new SLC - SENCON Load Control system. Designed for maximum operator comfort, this system includes a separate control unit with its own screen, adhering to automotive standards. The system supplements the existing SENCON (SENNEBOGEN Control System) by offering comprehensive data on the lifting process on a large, user-friendly display, alongside load moment limitation. The extend modes can be conveniently adjusted from this interface, which also includes a real-time floor pressure display. The large touch display is designed for simplicity and intuitiveness, providing valuable support during operation. As always, diagnostic data for the machine and engine remains accessible through the SENCON system.
With its 6-section pin boom, the SENNEBOGEN 6203 E excels in pick-and-carry tasks and lifting at inclinations of up to 4 degrees.
Transport and assembly are straightforward, with the crane's transport width measuring just 3 meters without crawler tracks and capable of being transported in 7 units. Upon arrival at the site, the 200-ton crane, like all SENNEBOGEN telescopic cranes, can unload itself from a low loader and assemble in just a few steps.
In terms of environmental and service efficiency, the crane exemplifies user-friendly design through its proven SENNEBOGEN technology, which adheres to the principle of "keeping it simple." This approach minimizes overengineering by employing hydraulics and electrics only where electronics do not provide added value. The clear arrangement of maintenance and service points, along with well-labeled components, facilitates easy orientation and ensures quick machine availability for servicing. State-of-the-art engine, drive, and exhaust systems, combined with large lines and valves, ensure efficient operation while safeguarding both the environment and your budget.
The 6203 E will be prominently featured at the SENNEBOGEN booth during bauma 2025, located in the outdoor area FM.712 at the Munich Trade Fair, from April 7 to April 13, 2025, where it will be showcased to the public for the first time.
