FIAT Kobelco CKE900G Technical Manual – Factory Specs for Hydraulic Crawler Crane

If you are running a CKE900G on a job site, you are handling 100 tonnes of lift capacity. One wrong torque on a boom hoist valve or a missed hydraulic relief pressure spec can put a crane on its side. I have seen it happen with other machines, and the repair bill on a crane like this hits six figures. That is why you need the FIAT Kobelco CKE900G Technical Manual – not a third-party summary, not a photocopy of a photocopy, but the original 24-page factory document. It gives you the numbers that Kobelco put in at the factory, not some guess from an aftermarket site.

This manual is not a repair guide in the conventional sense – it is a technical specification document. You use it to check lifting capacities, boom lengths, hydraulic pressures, and transport dimensions before you set up or move the machine. For a 100-ton crane, that information is critical.

Lifting Capacities: Page 11 Numbers

Turn to page 11 and you get the lifting capacity tables for the CKE900G. These are the certified values for each boom length, jib configuration, and operating radius. You do not guess – you look up the number. A 3.6-meter radius with the auxiliary sheave gives you 100 tonnes theoretical, but the manual shows you the actual rated capacities. The supplemental data on pages 16 through 19 cover clamshell operation and reduced-weight configurations. If you skip those pages, you are asking for a load chart violation.

Boom and Jib Arrangements: Page 6 Drawings

Page 6 shows the boom and jib arrangements for the CKE900G. The max boom length is 61.0 meters, and the max fixed jib combination is 51.8 m + 18.3 m. These dimensions matter when you are working near power lines or in tight yards. The manual includes the exact pin locations, wire rope sizes (16 mm for boom hoist and 26 mm for load hoist), and the backstop requirements. You need this before you assemble the boom on site.

Hydraulic System Specs from Page 3

Page 3 gives you the hydraulic system details. Three variable displacement piston pumps. Maximum relief valve pressure for load hoist and boom hoist is 31.9 MPa. Swing system is 27.5 MPa. Control system is 5.4 MPa. If you adjust a relief valve without these numbers, you risk overheating or a runaway load. The manual spells out the filter types and the oil cooler specs too. FIAT Kobelco W80 2004 Technical Manual – 46-Page OEM Factory Specs covers a smaller machine, but the same document structure applies – you get the factory numbers.

Dimensions and Transport: Pages 5 and 20

Page 5 has general dimensions. You need these to know if the crane fits on your trailer or under an overpass. Page 20 is the transportation plan – it tells you how to secure the CKE900G for road travel. The fuel tank capacity is 400 liters, hydraulic tank 440 liters. That is not trivial when you are planning refueling intervals on a remote job. FIAT Kobelco 7055-3F Technical Manual – 24-Page Factory Specs also includes transport dimensions for that model.

Source Validity: Why OEM Beats Aftermarket

Aftermarket documentation for cranes is dangerous. I have seen one that listed the wrong boom point sheave diameter. This manual is an original factory print from Kobelco. It is 24 pages, no fluff, no reprints. Every page matches the original PDF file number KOBELCO_CKE900G_Technical_Manual_en-27313005353.pdf. You open it and you see the exact same content Kobelco sent to dealers. That is the only thing I trust when I have a crane in my shop or on site. FIAT Kobelco CK1600-II Technical Manual – 33-Page OEM Factory Specs follows the same standard. If you need more background on crane operation, see Manual Transmission – but for this machine, the factory manual is what matters. Manual Transmission is a separate topic, but both share the need for exact factory data.

Who Needs This Manual

If you own a CKE900G, rent it out, or operate it daily, you need this manual on your tablet in the cab. Crane operators use it for load charts. Mechanics use it for hydraulic pressure checks. Riggers use it for boom assembly. A DIY mechanic working on a 100-ton crane is not a thing – you are a professional or you are a liability. This manual keeps you professional.

Does this manual include step-by-step repair procedures?

No. This is a technical specifications manual. It covers lifting capacities, dimensions, hydraulic specs, boom/jib arrangements, and transport plans. For repair procedures you need the service manual.

Are the lifting capacities in metric tons or US tons?

The manual gives capacities in metric tonnes (t). 100 t is 110 US tons. Conversion tables are in the manual on page 3 notes.

Can I print this manual and take it on site?

Yes. The PDF is watermarked for single-user license, but you can print it for personal use. I recommend laminating the load chart page from section 11.

What if my serial number falls outside the range covered?

This manual covers the CKE900G model. Serial number ranges are not specified in the document. Check your machine’s serial plate against the model designation – if it says CKE900G, this manual applies.

You need this document if you want to run the CKE900G without guessing. Every time I have seen a crane incident on a job, the root cause was someone using the wrong spec or no spec at all. Do not be that guy. Access the Factory Manual now and keep it with the machine.
