The latest development of "CHELYABINETS KS-5673" - a truck crane plus a skidder

Each did their own thing: the Chelyabinsk Mechanical Plant produced truck cranes, the Altai Sibir-Tekhnika produced TLP-4M skidders with a 5-roller undercarriage system. The result was an exotic thing, powerful and universal, when two designs were “crossed”.


The need for specific equipment arises in construction and installation work, during loading and unloading and emergency repair work. Especially in difficult places with unstable, loose soil. Here you need a mobile all-terrain crane.

This is how the fully rotating hydraulic “CHELYABINETS KS-5673” on caterpillar tracks became. This is a joint project of two large Russian manufacturers. The machine is equipped with a telescopic boom, which lifts a load weighing 3,4 tons at a reach of 25 m. The maximum reach of the boom is 22 m, while the crane holds a weight of 7 tons at a height of 22,4 m. The highest load moment of the Chelyabinsk is 85 ton-meters , crane weight – 26 tons. Stability is ensured by hydraulic outriggers.

However, we suggest watching a review of a truck crane on a skidding tractor chassis in a video kindly provided by the LandTech channel. From the video material you will learn about the electronics and automation of the model, how to control the machine, and a comfortable operator’s workplace. In addition, you will take a test drive of the equipment.
