Model 16000 available with MAX-ER
The Manitowoc Model 16000, a 400t (440 USt) crawler crane is now available with the lift-enhancing MAX-ER attachment. The 16000, launched at CONEXPO in 2005, is often used for wind power equipment erection, as well as petrochemical and fabrication yard applications.The MAX-ER attachment can provide up to 232 t (256 USt) of counterweight, which increases the crane’s capacity at radius, says Al Kadow, Manitowoc Crane Group’s product marketing manager for lattice-boom cranes.
The standard boom length is 96 m (315 ft) on the 16000. With the MAX-ER, boom length can be increased to 120 m (394 ft). With the addition of a luffing jib, there is an even more dramatic increase. Typically, the 16000 can handle a 54 m (177 ft) boom with a 84 m (275 ft) jib, for a total reach of 138 m (452 ft). But with the MAX-ER, the crane can support a 90 m (295 ft) boom and a 84 m (275 ft) luffing jib, a total of 174 m (570 ft) of reach.
For the first time on a Manitowoc crane, this MAX-ER is equipped with a hydraulically driven stinger. According to Kadow, this allows the operator in the cab to hydraulically adjust the position of the MAX-ER behind the crane. The mechanical stinger required manual adjustment.
