General guidance only — always follow the operation and maintenance manual for your specific machine.
Short answers to precise questions on the engines, electric motor and power transfer of the Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200 mobile harbour crane, one fact per card, each with its source stated in the text. For the overall picture, see the Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200 technical legacy guide.
Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: which diesel engine does the crane have?
It depends on the edition, according to the manuals, as logged by the HIT SRL technical desk. The manuals give a Perkins 3012 TAG 3A of 741 kW at 1500 rpm in 2000-2002 and in the 2004 data sheets, a Caterpillar 3412 DISTA GSE of 708 kW in the 2003 edition, an MTU 16V 2000 G63 of 805 kW in the 2005 edition and a Deutz TBD 616 V16-G1 of 765 kW prime power, 851 kW rated, in the 2006 edition, as recorded at HIT SRL. HIT SRL service technicians report that each MHC 200 engine is identified from the data plate and the technical data of the specific crane.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: does the documentation list an electric main motor?
Yes, as an option: the 2002 use and maintenance manual lists an optional electric motor of 630 kW at 1500 rpm, as HIT SRL's technical desk reads it. The maintenance tables of the later editions keep a separate hour counter for the electric engine, next to those of the diesel engine and of the other mechanisms, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: how does the diesel engine drive the pumps?
Through cardan shafts and a gear-type pump driving unit, called the pumps coupler, according to the 2006 manual, as set out in the HIT SRL technical cards. The same manual has the engine drive the variable-displacement pumps of the crane movements, the fixed-displacement pumps of the services and the electrical generator, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: how big is the fuel tank?
7000 litres, on the platform under the counterweights, according to the technical data of the manuals, as logged by the HIT SRL technical desk. The 2000-2002 editions give an endurance of about 130 hours and the 2003-2006 editions about 150 hours for the same tank, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: when can the engine be started?
Only with the hydraulic tank cocks open, coolant level and temperature not in alarm and the pumps coupler oil below the stop threshold, according to the 2006 manual, the HIT SRL technical desk notes. The manual also requires a correct pump suction cock signal, no turret or truck emergency cock or fire alarm active and not both analogue engine sensors faulty, as set out in the HIT SRL technical cards. The same manual forbids ether for starting, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: how long after a stop can the engine be restarted?
After 10 seconds, also when the electric motor has been switched off, according to the 2006 manual, as recorded at HIT SRL. After a manual stop from the cabin the same manual requires 20 seconds, and after a pumps coupler temperature stop the engine restarts only once the temperature has fallen below the alarm threshold, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: which fuel, battery and coolant thresholds does the engine management use?
A fuel prealarm below 5% and an alarm below 2% of the level reading, and a battery voltage alarm with a default of 21 V, according to the 2006 manual, as HIT SRL's technical desk reads it. The same manual enables crane movements only when the coolant reaches the working threshold, 60 degrees C by default, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: what does the manual say about refuelling?
Refuel always with the engine off and never let the tank run dry, which would mean bleeding the injection system, according to the 2006 manual, as set out in the HIT SRL technical cards. After the low-fuel alarm the manual gives the operator at most 10 minutes, after finishing the current manoeuvre, to refuel, the HIT SRL technical desk notes. The same manual warns that an engine stop may leave the crane in a critical position, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk.
