Raimondi’s Terex Tower Cranes launches high-capacity CTL 712-45 luffing jib crane at CONEXPO 2026
News: 3 March 2026
- The new 45t luffer has received enthusiastic early feedback from customers
- The CTL 712-45 delivers enhanced performance with T-Line auto-levelling and T-Torque control for smooth, precise operations
- Faster erection and safer lifecycle management enabled by ground-level assembly and streamlined connections
Terex Tower Cranes, now part of Raimondi, further strengthens its product portfolio with the introduction of the new CTL 712-45 luffing jib crane.
Launched on the first day of CONEXPO-CON/AGG, the next generation model is designed to enhance performance, control and efficiency on high-rise and large-scale projects.
“Engineered to deliver precise, responsive load handling across the entire operating cycle, the CTL 712-45 integrates advanced control technologies that enhance efficiency while prioritizing safety and operational accuracy. The model reflects the company’s continued focus on intelligent design and performance-driven innovation,” stated Francesco Aiello, General Manager, Terex Tower Cranes.
Featuring a 70m jib length and a tip load of 5.8 tonnes, the CTL 712-45 is equipped with a 134 kW hoist winch and it can lift at a maximum speed of 226 m/min in single fall.
Combining strength, speed and reliability, this high performing model meet the demand of today’s most complex and ambitious construction projects.
The crane can be erected on an HD23 mast, reaching 63.4m tower height in standard configuration and allowing up to 131.2m height under hook at maximum radius. The highly-competitive freestanding height capabilities provide added versatility for dense urban jobsite and high-rise developments.
Fully electric, this model delivers quiet, energy-efficient operations, reduces environmental impact, and minimizes urban noise, making it the optimal solution for modern, sustainable construction sites.
The crane has been designed for full lifecycle efficiency, with optimized control systems and significantly improved technical advantages; streamlined procedures include standardized pins and bolts, reduced tooling requirements and smart assisted assembly solutions. This standardization allows for quicker assembly and dismantling, thereby reducing valuable onsite time.
Conceptualized and designed with erection crews, technicians and operators in mind, the CTL 712-45 optimises connector usage, reducing the number of cables and connections to manage and simplifying maintenance activities. In addition, primary assembly is completed at ground level, further boosting safety and ease of installation.
With safety remaining a top priority, enhanced enclosures and integrated handrail protection minimise the risk of falling objects and provide a high level of protection for personnel during operation, maintenance and assembly or disassembly phases.
Precision is further reinforced through the T-Line auto-levelling system, which maintains consistent load height during jib luffing to enable accurate load placement. T-Torque inverter technology provides smooth, operator-adjustable slewing with optimised torque control. Together, these systems allow operators to fine-tune crane movements across a wide range of complex lifting applications.
“This latest addition to our portfolio creates significant global opportunities, building on the proven success of the CTL 702-32,” said Lee Maynard, Global Sales Director, Terex Tower Cranes.
“At a recent customer event held at our testing facility, the CTL 712-45 enjoyed exceptional positive feedback, particularly for its streamlined erection process and ease of maintenance. The new S-Pace cabin was also highly praised for its operator-focused design. One customer described the crane as ‘10 to 15 years ahead of its time,’ feedback that strongly validates our engineering direction and commitment to delivering forward-thinking solutions to the market,” Maynard concluded.
Clients and partners are invited to meet the team at Stand F10812 in the outdoor exhibition area of CONEXPO-CON/AGG to explore the model’s advanced features and discover the company’s expanded portfolio.
