The first Kobelco CKS900 in the Philippines working on the Tarlac – Pampanga – La Union Expressway (TPLEX).

It comes with Kobelco’s patented G-mode (Green-mode), which can cut overall fuel consumption by around 25 percent compared to conventional models. Engine exhaust gas emission level and noise pollution are also substantially lower, although the power units are equivalent to EU Stage ⅢA / US EPA Tier3, rather than the EU Stage IV supplied in Europe and North America.

The new machine was commissioned by Kobelco crane dealer, JVF Commercial and Project Development Support Services. which operates from branches in Manila and Davao. It then went straight to work in Pampanga for the construction of the last stretch of Tarlac – Pampanga – La Union Expressway (TPLEX).

C.M. Pancho president Gerardo Pancho said: “The crane’s functions are user friendly, while its safety features are crucial for the crane operation at this project.”
