A Genuine Joint Venture, Not a Badge on Someone Else's Crane
Hitachi Sumitomo Cranes — formally Sumitomo Heavy Industries Construction Cranes Ltd, now trading as HSC Cranes — is a genuine joint venture between Sumitomo Heavy Industries and Hitachi Construction Machinery, formed in 2002 specifically to build crawler cranes. This is a real, currently active crane manufacturer, not a rebadged third-party product — with lifting capacities extending past 300 tonnes for heavy lift work. PumpGrid refurbishes the hydraulic pump behind these cranes, tested before dispatch.
Worth being precise about this: "Hitachi crane" in the crawler crane market specifically refers to the Hitachi Sumitomo joint venture — a distinct business from Hitachi's excavator line (which runs through the separate Tata Hitachi JV in India). Hitachi Sumitomo cranes are used across infrastructure, oil and gas, power plant, and shipbuilding/port applications, valued for reliability and low-maintenance design. If you're running one of these crawler cranes, this page covers the correct hydraulic pump.
| Application Class | Typical Capacity | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-capacity crawler cranes | Up to ~150 tonnes | General construction, infrastructure |
| Heavy-lift crawler cranes | 150-300+ tonnes | Power plant, oil & gas, heavy infrastructure |
