Rolls-Royce is to supply MTU-branded engines to crane producer Kato for the first time. The Japanese company's SL-500Rf PREMIUM rough-terrain lifting crane, which weighs in at 50 tonne, is to be powered by a 6-cylinder in-line Series 1000 engine delivering 254 kW of power. Equipped with an SCR unit, the MTU engine meets the new Japanese Heisei 26 emission level requirements which came into force in 2016. The MTU brand is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. With an overall width of 2.75 m, the SL-500Rf PREMIUM is allowed to be driven on Japanese roads. With a boom length of 40 m, the rough-terrain lifting crane can work with weights of up to 50 tonne across a 37-m radius.
