crawler cranes

Manitex International, Bridgeview, Ill., has announced that it is launching a new 50-ton capacity, rubber-track-mounted, telescopic-boom crane named the Manitex 50155GT. Manitex believes the 50155GT is the highest-capacity crane ever mounted on a rubber-tracked carrier.

Around 3,000 people from all over the world were expected over two days at the Liebherr-Werk Ehingen factory in Germany on 13 and 14 June.

The boom of a 200 tonne lattice crawler crane dropped its load and collapsed onto a boom lift and barge in Nova Scotia on Thursday.

The boom of an overturned crawler crane has completely disrupted traffic on the A-50 in the Netherlands this evening.

The promise of heavier lifts at petrochemical, nuclear and renewable energy sites is driving the demand for crawlers, even in this difficult economic period.

The massive crane will lift 3,000 tonnes to 48 meters, 2,000 tonnes to 53 meters and 1,000 tonnes to almost 100 meters radius.
