FIAT Kobelco CK1600-II Technical Manual

You bought a used CK1600-II and the previous owner lost the manual. Or you’re putting together a fleet and need verified numbers, not a scanned copy from the internet. I’ve seen too many guys guess on boom angles and end up with a folded crane. That’s why this 33-page FIAT Kobelco CK1600-II Technical Manual from the factory matters. It’s the same documentation the dealer techs use.

Load charts, dimensions, and engine performance specs are inside.

FIAT Kobelco CK1600-II Technical Manual: 33 Pages of Factory Data

Each page in this PDF pulls from the original Kobelco documentation. The manual opens with load charts adapted for NCCER certification, then moves to general description, dimensions, working weight, working speeds, and upper machinery specs. If you need the maximum lifting capacity (320,000 lbs at 15′ radius, with 50′ boom), it’s there. If you need the height to top of cab (11’9″) or the shoe width (48″), it’s all listed. No guesswork.

General Description and Lifting Capacity

The first chapter covers the machine type: crawler mounted, fully revolving. Maximum lifting capacity is 160 US tons. Basic boom length 50′, max 250′. The manual includes the full load chart tables. I’ve seen operators rely on aftermarket charts that round numbers up – that’s how you exceed the crane’s limits. This manual gives you the exact OEM values.

General Dimensions: The Numbers You Need

Dimensions matter when you’re positioning a crane on a tight site. This section lists overall length of crawler (25’11”), center to center of tumblers (22’8″), overall width (21’9″), ground clearance (19″). You also get the counterweight ground clearance (4’5″) and radius of rear end (18’1″). These numbers are critical for transport and setup. Page 4 lays out all dimension tables.

Working Speeds and Line Speeds

Hoist line speeds range from 390 ft/min down to 10 ft/min. Boom hoist line speed 157 to 7 ft/min. Swing speed 2.1 rpm. Travel speed high 0.81 mph, low 0.56 mph. These specs are not in a typical aftermarket pamphlet. They come from the factory testing data. If you’re planning a lift that requires precise speed control, you need these numbers. For a deeper understanding of gear reduction principles, see the Wikipedia article on Manual Transmission.

Upper Machinery – The Hino P11C-UN Engine

The power plant section gives you the engine make and model, displacement (642 cu.in.), rated output (331 HP at 2000 rpm), maximum torque (959 lb-ft at 1500 rpm). It also lists the alternator (24V/50A), batteries (two 12V 170AH series), and fuel tank capacity (106 US gal). To compare with drivetrain fundamentals, check out the Wikipedia article on Manual Transmission.

Who Needs This OEM Manual?

If you own, operate, or maintain a CK1600-II, you need this. DIY mechanics who handle their own equipment, fleet managers verifying load charts, safety officers auditing crane specs – all benefit. The manual is 33 pages, but packed with data. Don’t rely on a third-party summary. The Kobelco CK1600-II Crawler Crane Technical Manual from our site is the same document used by NCCER for certification. If you’re a rental house, having this manual means you can verify load charts before sending machines to jobsites. If you’re an insurance adjuster, you need the OEM specs to verify claims. If you’re a safety trainer, this manual provides the exact data for training operators. For other FIAT Kobelco models, see the FIAT Kobelco W80 2004 Technical Manual – 46-Page OEM Factory Specs and the FIAT Kobelco 7055-3F Technical Manual – 24-Page Factory Specs.

Does this manual include engine performance specs?

Yes, it includes the rated output (331 HP), maximum torque (959 lb-ft), and other specs from the Hino P11C-UN engine power plant section.

How many pages is the manual?

33 pages. That’s a slim document but every page is dense with factory data – load charts, dimensions, working speeds, and engine specs.

Can I use this manual for a different Kobelco model?

No. This manual is specific to the CK1600-II. Using load charts from another model is dangerous. The lifting capacities, dimensions, and engine specs are unique. Always use the manual for the exact model. That said, if you own a W80 or 7055-3F, we have those manuals as well: FIAT Kobelco W80 2004 Technical Manual – 46-Page OEM Factory Specs and FIAT Kobelco 7055-3F Technical Manual – 24-Page Factory Specs.

Is this a reprint or a factory original?

It’s a digital reproduction of the original OEM manual. Not a reprint in the sense of a photocopy – it’s a clean PDF scan of the factory document.
