• A third Manitowoc MLC300 crawler crane with VPC-MAX® and Wide Boom Plus further equips the crane and equipment rental company to compete for wind farm construction and maintenance jobs.
• The MLC300’s maneuverability has already proven advantageous on wind farm and tilt-wall projects; it will soon head off to work on a major factory construction project.
• Additional inserts expand the successful MLC300 Wide Boom kit to increase boom length and capacity.
• Using the VPC-MAX® attachment, this new configuration offers the capacity of much larger cranes with the logistics and site benefits of the MLC300.
• Manitowoc developed the solution based on Voice of the Customer feedback, and it’s already proving highly successful.
• A new, three-mile-long Howard Frankland Bridge is being constructed over Tampa Bay, alongside the famous-yet-flawed original span.
• Over 20 Manitowoc crawler cranes are currently being used to drive sheet and piles and build columns and set beams and decks. The cranes were adapted for use in the marine environment in partnership with the manufacturer and dealers Walter Payton Power Equipment and Ring Power Crane.
