Demag
TC-2800
A unique beast. Lattice boom on a wheeled All-Terrain chassis with the largest outrigger base in its class. Built specifically for fast-cycle wind maintenance, datacenter, and battery-storage build-outs where mobilization economics matter more than raw class size. Outperforms the Demag CC-2800 lattice crawler line on load chart, transport efficiency, and on-site mobility.
Lattice Capacity. AT Mobility. One Crane.
Every crane in the 600+ metric ton lattice class makes you choose: get the chart capacity of a crawler, or get the highway mobility of a wheeled chassis. The TC-2800 refuses the choice. Full lattice rigging — including tray and derrick — sits on an 8-axle All-Terrain carrier that drives between job sites at 12-tonne axle loads.
The 14×14 m outrigger base is the largest in its class — wider than the Liebherr LG 1550's 13×13 m and significantly more stable than any crawler's footprint at long boom. That outrigger geometry is what unlocks the chart numbers in the SSL and HSWSL configurations, where the crane operates 138 m of lattice boom plus 30 m of derrick and 300 metric tons of suspended counterweight without giving up tipping capacity at radius.
The 12 m and 6 m boom section modules are the shortest in the class. That sounds like a footnote — it isn't. Shorter sections mean smaller transport units, simpler escort permits through wind-farm access roads, and significantly faster on-site assembly cycles. Across a multi-site wind maintenance contract, that section length advantage compounds into days of saved crew time.
TC-2800 vs CC-2800: Same Family, Different Job
The Demag CC-2800 crawler line is a wind erection workhorse — 660 US ton class lattice crawler that walks loads between turbine pads on tracks. Excellent for ground-up wind farm construction.
The TC-2800 is the same family heritage on a wheeled chassis. It gives up the walk-with-load capability and gets back highway mobility, faster between-site cycles, fewer transport units to mobilize, and a slightly larger outrigger footprint. For wind maintenance — where the project moves between existing turbines rather than building new ones — the TC-2800 wins every time.
Seven Boom Configurations.
One Crane to Rule Them All.
The TC-2800 runs an exceptionally deep configuration system — main boom alone for short-radius heavy lifts, all the way up to derrick boom plus suspended counterweight plus heavy luffing fly jib for the most demanding wind nacelle work. Coldfoot stocks the full kit: heavy and light boom sections, the 30 m derrick boom, the suspended ballast tray, and the SW heavy-luffer attachments.
Heavy lattice main boom. The standalone main-boom mode for short-radius heavy industrial picks. 24 to 84 m boom range.
Heavy main boom with boomnose accessory. Up to 84 m boom with 200 t counterweight on 14×14 m outriggers. Maximum capacity at intermediate radius.
Light boom sections combined with heavy modules. Extended boom length for higher-reach work at moderate load.
Main boom + 30 m derrick boom + 300 t suspended ballast tray at 11–15 m derrick radius. The high-capacity wind hub-height configuration. Up to 96 m main boom.
Heavy SSL configuration with extended boom length. 54 to 108 m boom range for taller wind hub heights and long-reach industrial work.
SSL with light-extended boom. 90 to 138 m boom range — the crane's longest boom mode for the tallest wind maintenance reach work.
Main boom plus heavy luffing fly jib. The vertical-reach configuration for wind turbine nacelle work at moderate hub heights. 24-84 m main + heavy luffer attachment.
Main boom + heavy luffer + 30 m derrick + 250 t suspended counterweight. Higher capacity at long luffer radii — for the heaviest nacelle component swaps.
Heavy main + heavy luffer + derrick + suspended ballast. The TC-2800's maximum-rated envelope. The configuration that puts wind nacelle capacity at 150+ m hub heights within reach on a wheeled chassis.
The Jobs This Crane Was Built For.
Wind Turbine Maintenance
Gearbox swaps, blade replacements, generator replacements at hub heights from 80 m to 150+ m. The SSL and SWSL configurations make this the right tool for the modern wind maintenance fleet.
Datacenter Build-Outs
Pre-fab datacenter modules, large transformers, chiller and rooftop generator placement at hyperscale facility construction. AT mobility means fast on/off sites in tight schedules.
Battery Storage Systems
Container battery sets, transformer placement, inverter station installation across utility-scale BESS sites. The grid build-out crane for projects that need both capacity and mobility.
Refinery Turnaround
Heavy column and reactor swaps during shutdown windows. The SH and SSL configurations deliver the chart for tight-window critical lifts where the schedule penalty for a slow setup is measured in millions.
Small Modular Reactor Placement
SMR vessel and module installation at scheduled site builds. The derrick + suspended ballast configurations unlock the capacity-at-radius for single-pick critical lifts on confined sites.
Gas Compression & Midstream
Compressor packages, separators, and skid-mounted process equipment for upstream and midstream gas operations. Self-propelled mobility means fast access to remote Permian and Wyoming pad sites.
Beats the LR-1700.1 on Mobilization.
For an 89 m hub-height wind turbine lift, the TC-2800 in SSL configuration mobilizes in approximately 16 truckloads. The industry-standard Liebherr LR-1700.1 — designed specifically for wind erection — needs roughly 36. Across a multi-turbine wind farm, that's hundreds of fewer truck moves and six-figure transport savings before counting the days of saved crew time.

Coldfoot has analyzed this specific lift scenario across three fleet configurations: the LGD 1550, the LR 1600/2, and the TC-2800 — with mobilization economics benchmarked against the LR-1700.1 wind crawler. See the full side-by-side, including the decision matrix and selection criteria for each option.

Coldfoot operates the TC-2800 with the full configuration kit on yard — the 30 m derrick boom, the 300 t suspended ballast tray, the heavy luffer attachments, and the complete S, L, SSL, and SW boom packages. Twelve-meter and six-meter section inventory means we can build any boom length the lift study calls for, without compromising the configuration to fit what's available.
Operating from Billings and satellite yards across the central USA energy corridor — New Mexico, Wyoming/Colorado border, Midland TX, and Austin TX — the TC-2800 is positioned for fast deployment across wind maintenance, datacenter, refinery, and gas compression projects. LICCON-verified lift planning is generated in-house for every critical-lift scope.
