Manitowoc Cranes has introduced the MLC100 100 tonne capacity crawler crane to the Chinese market.
The MLC100 is the first in what will be a new product line from Manitowoc Cranes, the company says.
The crane has a maximum boom length of 73 m as well as a 24 m fixed jib option.
The maximum combination length is 58 m of main boom working with 24 m of jib.
This gives a maximum tip height of 81.8 m.
The MLC100 features a Tier III-compliant Cummins QSL300 engine that produces 224 kW.
The crane’s pilot-controlled hydraulic system means smooth operation and precise control to increase lifting productivity and facilitate safe operations.
It can be transported in four truck loads when the crane is configured with its 70 m boom plus 24 m fixed jib.
Manitowoc Cranes plans to introduce a 150 tonne crawler crane to the Chinese market by the end of 2010.
