IN Brief:
- Raimondi has launched its first telecrawler crane line through Terex Rough Terrain Cranes.
- The TTC 70 offers 70 tonnes of maximum lifting capacity and a 36.8m boom.
- First units are expected in 2026 following testing and field trials.
Raimondi has launched its first telecrawler crane line, with Terex Rough Terrain Cranes returning to the crawler segment through the new TTC 70.
The model has been designed, engineered, and manufactured at the group’s rough-terrain headquarters in Crespellano, Bologna. It marks a move into a new product category for Raimondi, which is expanding its position as a multi-segment lifting provider following the acquisition of key Terex lifting brands.
The TTC 70 offers a maximum lifting capacity of 70 tonnes, a maximum boom length of 36.8m, and a drum capacity of 215m of lifting rope. The crane is available with Stage V and Stage IIIA engine configurations, both with a 300-litre fuel tank. The Stage V version delivers 168kW at 2,200rpm, while the Stage IIIA version provides 164kW at the same engine speed.
The crane is mounted on crawler tracks, eliminating the need for outriggers and allowing operation on slopes of up to four degrees. Raimondi says the lower ground pressure and ability to travel with higher lifting capacity than wheeled alternatives make the crane suited to compact sites, uneven ground, critical infrastructure, and energy-related applications.
The TTC 70 also includes TEOS operating system functionality adapted for crawler cranes, T-Link connectivity, and an electronic dynamic management system for the main hydraulic pump. The redesigned cab provides additional space, joystick controls, and improved access, while a remote control system allows functions including counterweight assembly and disassembly to be carried out by a single operator.
The machine has been designed in compliance with EU safety standards and has a maximum transport width of 3m. Raimondi says a high level of component commonality with the TRT range should simplify maintenance and operator familiarity.
First units are expected to be delivered during 2026 following internal validation and field trials. The product line is being targeted at markets including Europe, the United States, and Canada.
Lifting requirements are being reshaped by denser construction sites, tighter logistics, infrastructure upgrades, and energy projects that often involve uneven or low-bearing ground. Traditional rough-terrain cranes remain effective in many applications, but their need for outriggers and levelled operating conditions can limit flexibility where space is tight or ground preparation is costly.
Telecrawler cranes occupy a useful middle ground, combining telescopic boom speed with crawler mobility. They can reduce setup time, move around constrained work areas, and support staged lifting operations where the crane has to reposition frequently. That makes them well suited to bridge works, utility projects, industrial maintenance, renewable energy sites, and urban infill construction where access can change throughout the programme.
Raimondi’s move into the segment broadens competition in a market where rental companies and contractors are looking for machines that can improve utilisation across varied job types. The TTC 70 will still need to prove itself in field conditions, but its specification responds directly to site constraints that are becoming more common across construction and infrastructure work.
