New Holland Kobelco CKE1350, CK1600 2004 Technical Manual

If you’ve ever tried to rebuild a crane with a generic PDF from some sketchy forum, you already know the headache. Wrong specs, missing pages, and that sinking feeling when a bolt strips because you guessed the torque. I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I don’t guess. This New Holland Kobelco CKE1350, CK1600 2004 Technical Manual is the real deal — direct from the factory, 37 pages of spec data that matches what the guys in Japan used when these machines left the line. No reprint, no copy, no third-party nonsense. Let me show you why having this on the tablet beats any aftermarket shortcut.

Specs You Can Trust: CKE1350 Performance Data

Need the max lifting capacity for the standard boom? It’s 135 t at 4.6 m, right there on page 3. That’s not a guess — it’s stamped in the book code S5GN0102E. The manual gives you three boom configurations: standard, luffing upper, and long boom. Each one has its own performance numbers, including line speeds, swing speed (2.1 rpm), and propel speed. When you’re rigging a job site, you don’t have time to cross‑reference aftermarket tables. This is the OEM table. Period.

What’s Inside the Performance Section?

The specification section breaks down into two halves — one for the CKE1350, one for the CK1600. For the CKE1350, you get subsections: Performance (1.1), Performance of Luffing Jib (1.2), Outside Dimensions (1.3), Dimensions and Weight of Each Part (1.4), and Stability in Swinging and Traveling (1.5). That last one — stability — is what separates a safe lift from a tip‑over. I’ve seen guys skip that page and wonder why the machine wobbles. Don’t be that guy. The CK1600 section (2.1 through 2.5) mirrors the structure, but with different numbers. Page 1 gives you the table of contents so you can jump straight to the machine you’re working on.

3 Key Chapters for Field Work

If you’re on a jobsite and need quick reference, these three sections will keep you out of trouble.

• Performance of Luffing Jib (section 1.2): Max lifting capacity 36 t at 12 m, jib raising/lowering speed 60 m/min.
• Outside Dimensions (1.3): Gives you overall width, height, and track length.
• Stability in Swinging and Traveling (1.5 and 2.5): Load charts factoring ground pressure ~105 kPa.

That covers the essentials for rigging and transport.

Dimensions and Weight: Know Your Load

Section 1.3 lists outside dimensions — 3,580 mm track width. Section 1.4 breaks down weight of each part. Working weight of the CKE1350 with 50 ft standard boom and 135 t hook block is approximately 134 tons. That means you need to know your trailer capacity before you haul. The manual gives you the exact numbers so you don’t show up with an undersized lowboy.

Source Authenticity: OEM Print, Not Aftermarket Copy

This is the original 2004 factory release. Book code S5GN0102E. It’s not scanned from a library copy or run through optical character recognition that mangles numbers. Every torque spec, every pressure rating, every dimension is exactly as New Holland Kobelco published it. I’ve had too many conversations with junior techs who burned an hour chasing a phantom leak because the aftermarket manual had the wrong o‑ring size. Factory spec data prevents that. If you’re comparing this to a generic Manual Transmission guide from a third party, there’s no comparison — one is correct, the other might get you close.

Does this manual cover the complete CK1600 as well, or only the CKE1350?

Both. Chapters 1 and 2 cover CKE1350 and CK1600 respectively.

Can I use this for repair procedures, or is it only specifications?

The document is strictly a specification manual. It contains performance data, outside dimensions, weights of individual components, and stability calculations for both the CKE1350 and CK1600. If you are looking for step‑by‑step repair instructions like how to overhaul the engine or replace the swing gear, you will need the corresponding shop manual. However, I cannot overstate how important it is to have this spec book open next to the repair manual. You need to know the max lifting capacity, the boom lengths, the ground pressure, and the line speeds before you even start diagnosing a hydraulic issue. For example, if you’re working on a Manual Transmission related problem, you’d still reference this for torque specs on mounting bolts. So yes, while it’s not a repair manual, it’s the foundation of any repair job on these cranes.
