The new IC110R rotating crawler carrier. The next in the rotator lineup from KATO

The rotating crawler carrier category is gaining serious momentum — and KATO is making its mark. The IC110R Rotating Crawler Carrier debuted at CONEXPO, and the reaction from contractors and dealers was immediate: “How do we get one?”
Crawler carriers have worked the same way for decades. Load it, crawl to the spot, dump it, crawl back, repeat. The IC110R changes that equation. Full 360-degree upper-body rotation means the operator can receive material, swing, and place it with precision — all without ever moving the undercarriage. No crawling back and forth. No three-point turns on a crowded site. No wasted motion.
That changes the math on every job. Fewer repositioning cycles means faster cycle times and more material moved per hour. Increased carrying capacity means fewer total trips. And because the tracks stay planted while the upper body does the work, the IC110R isn’t ripping up finished surfaces, tearing through turf, or leaving ruts that somebody has to come back and fix. The jobsite looks the same when you leave as when you got there.
Add it up — tighter cycle times, higher capacity, less site damage, fewer machines needed — and the ROI conversation gets very real, very fast.
KATO entered the rotating carrier space with the IC70R. The IC110R levels up everything — more capacity, more capability, and a machine built for the jobs where contractors need to move more material without sacrificing the rotation advantage. Backed by decades of crawler carrier engineering in Japan, KATO is expanding its rotating lineup and pushing the category forward.
As rotating carriers gain traction across North America, the IC110R gives contractors a machine that’s purpose-built around productivity and precision — not just payload.
We have high-res images, full specs, and video ready to send. We can also set up an interview with the KATO team to walk through the machine’s design, applications, and what’s driving demand in this category.
Worth a closer look? We think so!
Ic110r Rotating Crawler Carrier
Our newest rotating crawler carrier was built to go places other machines simply can’t — without leaving a trace.
Key Features:
• 360-Degree Rotating Upper Structure — Dump precisely where you need to without repositioning the undercarriage. Less turning means less ground disturbance on soft, wet, or sensitive terrain.
• 24,250 lb Payload — Serious hauling capacity to keep your jobsite moving.
• 257 HP Cummins B6.7 Engine — The power to tackle steep grades up to 20°.
• Low Ground Pressure — Just 5.12 PSI empty / 8.54 PSI loaded. Get across mud, wetlands, and delicate surfaces without damage.
• Boat-Shaped Scoop End Vessel — 8 cubic yard capacity with a 60° max dump angle.
• Travel Speed up to 7.3 MPH — Move material fast across the jobsite.
• Built for the Toughest Jobs — Pipelines, slope work, wet construction sites, forestry, and environmentally sensitive projects.
