TIL Limited made a strong and bold statement at EXCON 2025 in Bengaluru with three fully indigenous material handling machines. They have developed these machines specifically for the rapidly growing construction and logistics sectors in India. This new offering showcases TIL’s focus on reliability, safety, and localisation and aims to support both the infrastructure development and industrial productivity across India. It is an important step forward for TIL as it rebuilds its presence within heavy equipment by designing machines with the needs of its customers at the forefront.
A new generation of Indian-built lifting and handling machines
The latest lineup of TIL Limited includes the CarryKing 515 pick-and-carry crane, the TMS-885 truck-mounted crane, and the RT RST-8 rough-terrain container handler. Each of these products has been designed with an emphasis on delivering high performance yet lower operating costs. These are achieved with the help of fuel efficiency, predictable maintenance, and stronger structures.
These products are targeted towards the construction contractors, port operators, warehouse facilities, mining yards, and industrial hubs that require both capacity and manoeuvrability.
CarryKing 515 Pick-and-Carry Crane
Built for lifting, carrying, and continuous movement
The CarryKing 515 pick-and-carry Crane has been designed to lift, carry, and move segments. TIL has positioned the CarryKing 515 as its new workhorse in the pick and carry category, with a focus on enhanced safety features as well as improved structural quality of design and better flexibility for job sites where frequent movement with the load is required.
CarryKing 515 – Key Highlights
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 15 tonnes |
| Engine | 130 hp Ashok Leyland |
| Boom Length | 6.5 m to 17 m (4-section) |
| Safety | Microprocessor-based safety system |
| Steering | 4-wheel steering |
| Drive | 4×4 |
| On-Deck Load | Up to 6 tonnes |
The machine is equipped with a 4×4 drive train and 4-wheel drive (4WD). These functions improve maneuverability on rough and uneven surfaces. The crane is controlled via a microprocessor-based control system. This system enhances safety by constantly monitoring load conditions and preventing operation until safety is ensured or irregular movements. This capability makes TIL’s c an ideal crane choice in many industries, especially in construction, fabrication, power plants, and material assembly, where frequent lifting and relocating of products happens.
TMS-885 Truck-Mounted Crane
High lifting capacity with long-reach boom
The TMS-885 represents TIL’s re-entry into the heavy truck-mounted crane segment. With a powerful multi-section boom and strong highway mobility, the machine is suited for large infrastructure tasks where quick deployment and stable lifting are essential.
TMS-885 – Key Highlights
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Lifting Capacity | 85 tonnes |
| Boom | 5 sections (12.1 m – 43.8 m) |
| Engine | 260 hp Cummins |
| Max Travel Speed | 49 km/h |
| Segment | Heavy lifting, industrial work, construction |
The crane’s long boom enables higher reach for bridge construction, metro infrastructure, tall industrial structures, and wind-related assembly work. Built on a durable truck chassis, it offers easier movement across project locations, reducing downtime and transport costs.
RT RST-8 Rough-Terrain Container Handler
Engineered for ports, yards, and logistics hubs
The RT RST-8 is TIL’s answer to the growing demand for rough-terrain container handling solutions in India’s logistics sector. Its high lift height and strong mast design allow safe stacking of containers even in challenging ground conditions.
RT RST-8 – Key Highlights
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Type | Rough-terrain container handler |
| Lifting Capacity | 8 tonnes |
| Lift Height | 12.6 m |
| Engine | 173 hp Cummins |
| Steering | 4-wheel steer |
| Stacking | Up to four high-cube containers |
The machine’s 4×4 drivetrain and robust tyres make it reliable in ports, container freight stations, mining yards, and industrial loading bays. It improves turnaround time and reduces dependence on traditional forklifts that often struggle on uneven ground.
A strategic push for TIL in 2025
With these three new products, TIL aims to reinforce its position in India’s material-handling industry and the broader heavy construction equipments segment by offering machines that balance performance, safety and long-term durability. The company’s “Made-in-India” approach also aligns with the country’s broader manufacturing goals and helps customers benefit from better parts availability and faster service support.
Industry experts at EXCON 2025 noted that the improved build quality, stronger components and upgraded safety systems in TIL’s new range make the machines competitive against both domestic and international brands.
TIL’s launches at EXCON 2025 capture India’s engineering progress in the material-handling space. Each machine is designed to solve real-world challenges faced in construction, ports and industrial operations. With modern powertrains, advanced controls and higher localisation, TIL is clearly aiming to reclaim a strong position in the lifting and logistics equipment market.
