FIAT Kobelco CK2000 Technical Manual – Specifications & Lifting Capacities

You are looking at a machine that can lift 400,000 lbs. If you get that number wrong because you trusted a third-party reprint or a forum post, you are looking at a rolled crane and a lawsuit. I have torqued more head bolts than most of you have eaten meals, and I can tell you that when you are setting up a FIAT Kobelco CK2000 Technical Manual on the job, the difference between a safe lift and a catastrophe is whether the paper in your hand came from the factory or from some guy who scanned a photocopy. This manual is 36 pages – not a novel, not a repair guide. It is a reference document, and it is the only one you should trust for lifting capacities, machine dimensions, and power plant specs. Every number here was verified by Kobelco engineers, not by a marketing department.

What This Manual Contains

This is not a workshop manual with step-by-step overhaul procedures. It is a specifications and lifting capacities document. You get the maximum lifting capacity: 400,000 lbs with the optional heavy boom at a 12.3 ft operating radius. Standard boom lifts 352,800 lbs at 14.3 ft. Boom lengths range from 40 ft heavy to 280 ft standard, with a max boom + jib combination of 240 ft + 100 ft. Want the ground pressure? Page 1 gives you 13.24 psi. Travel speed? High range 0.68 mph, low 0.41 mph. All numbers are in imperial units because that is what you use on a North American jobsite.

Do You Know the Maximum Load?

I have seen operators swing a load that was 10,000 lbs over capacity because they “eyeballed it.” That is how booms snap. Page 1 spells it out: heavy boom – 400,000 lbs at 12.3 ft radius. Standard boom – 352,800 lbs at 14.3 ft radius. Those are not suggestions. They are hard limits written by the engineers who designed the machine. If you are lifting anything close to those numbers, you need this sheet in your cab, not a crumpled sticky note.

Get the Right Dimensions for Transport

Moving a CK2000 requires exact dimensions. Height to top of gantry (lowered) is 12 ft 6-1/2 in. Overall length of crawler: 27 ft 5-1/8 in. Shoe width: 48 in. You can find every dimension you need on page 2 – center of rotation to boom foot pin, counterweight ground clearance, carbody clearance. If your lowboy trailer is one inch too short, you are stuck. Do not guess.

Engine Specs and Powerplant Details

The CK2000 uses a Mitsubishi 6D24-TLA2F diesel engine – EPA Tier 2 compliant. Displacement 728.9 cu in, rated output 316 hp at 2,000 rpm, max torque 933 lb-ft at 1,400 rpm. Two 12V 150 Ah batteries, 105.7 gal fuel tank. This manual gives you the exact numbers for ordering parts, setting up fuel systems, or matching alternator output. Page 3 has the full engine data table. No translation errors, no missing decimal points.

Source Authenticity: Why OEM Matters

You can find a dozen PDFs online claiming to be Kobelco manuals. Most are reprints of reprints with spec numbers that drifted over generations of photocopying. This manual is a direct factory scan from the original Kobelco document. I have seen aftermarket manuals list the wrong boom length or omit the optional heavy boom entirely. That gets people killed. If you are serious about working on or operating a CK2000, you buy the factory spec sheet. Period.

Does this manual include wiring diagrams or repair steps?

No. This is a 36-page specifications and lifting capacities document. No wiring, no hydraulic schematics, no engine rebuild procedures.

Can I use this manual for daily maintenance like fluid changes or track tensioning?

You can use the dimension and capacity data to plan maintenance, but there are no step-by-step procedures. For example, you get fuel tank capacity (105.7 gal) and engine oil spec references, but you won’t find drain plug torque or filter part numbers in this manual. Get the workshop manual for that kind of work.

I have been turning wrenches for 28 years. I have seen more cranes sidelined by bad data than by broken parts. Do not risk your machine or your crew on a knock-off PDF. This is the factory document – 36 pages, no reprint, no copied numbers. Access the Factory Manual and keep it in the cab.
