FIAT Kobelco CK1600-II Technical Manual

I’ll be straight with you. I’ve watched guys try to set the hoist line speed on a 160-ton crane using a generic manual they found online. That’s how you end up with a boom in the dirt. This FIAT Kobelco CK1600-II Technical Manual is the actual factory document from Kobelco. 32 pages of real specs, not someone’s best guess. If you’re maintaining or operating this machine, you need the numbers that came out of the factory.

General Dimensions and Weight: Know Your Crane’s Footprint

Page 3 gives you the full set of dimensions. Overall crawler length is 25′ 11″, width 21′ 9″. Ground clearance of the carbody is 19″. Working weight with standard counterweight is 273,000 lbs, light counterweight 306,000 lbs. These numbers matter when you’re planning a lift or moving the machine.

Working Speeds: Hoist, Swing, and Travel

The manual lists hoist line speed at 390 ft/min max, lowering the same. Swing speed is 2.1 rpm. Travel speed high 0.81 mph, low 0.56 mph. These are single-line, no-load speeds. Knowing these lets you calculate line pull and cycle times. Don’t guess.

The Hino P11C-UN Engine: Specs and Service Points

Power plant is a Hino P11C-UN, Tier 3 compliant. 6 cylinders, 642 cu.in displacement, rated 331 HP at 2000 rpm. Max torque 959 lb-ft at 1500 rpm. Fuel tank capacity 106 US gal. Lube oil filter full flow and by-pass. If you’re doing an oil change, you need the correct filter part numbers (not in this excerpt, but the manual has them). The manual also covers the electrical system: starter 24V/6.0 kW, alternator 24V/50A, two 12V batteries in series. This is the kind of detail you don’t get from a reprint.

Why OEM Documentation Matters for a 160-Ton Crane

Aftermarket manuals often skip the safety-critical torque specs. On a crane, a bolt that’s 20 ft-lb off can cause a failure. This manual comes from Kobelco’s own files. Page 3 includes the general description and dimensions, but the rest of the 32 pages go into hydraulic system pressures, control valve adjustments, and wiring diagrams. FIAT Kobelco CK1600-II Technical Manual – 33-Page OEM Factory Specs is the same manual, just a different page count notation. I’ve seen guys waste hours trying to figure out a hydraulic issue without the schematic. This manual cuts that time.

Fuel and Fluid Capacity Data

Fuel tank: 106 US gal. Approximate fuel consumption at 100% HP is 17.3 US gal/hr. That’s 0.362 lb/HP-hr. Lube oil filter type is full flow and by-pass. Cooling system uses a thermostatically controlled corrugated core radiator. You need to know these capacities to order fluids and filters. The manual lists them all. The travel drive system uses a manual transmission, which requires proper fluid specs. See Manual Transmission for general knowledge. Also refer to Manual Transmission for gearbox maintenance tips.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the manual include wiring diagrams?

Yes, the full wiring schematic is included.

What makes this different from a digital reprint I find on a forum?

This is a direct scan of the original Kobelco factory manual. Forums often have missing pages, blurred diagrams, or someone’s typed copy with typos. The technical manual includes the exact torque values for every bolted joint, hydraulic pressures, and adjustment procedures. Page 3 has the general dimensions, but the entire 32 pages are intact. If you’ve ever tried to use a photocopy of a photocopy, you know the frustration. This manual is clean, readable, and complete. You can print it or view it on a tablet in the cab. That matters when you’re on a job site and need to confirm a spec.

If you’re working on a CK1600-II, you need the factory data. Access the Factory Manual and keep it with the machine. It’s 32 pages of straight specs, no filler. Your next lift depends on it.
