September 22, 2005 — A wide range of lifting technology, including boom truck, industrial, and self-erecting cranes, will be on display by Manitowoc Crane Group at the ICUEE show to be held next week in Louisville, Ken. Two newcomers to the National Crane boom truck line will be showcased for the first time at the show.

 

The 13110A crane has a capacity of 30 tons and a maximum tip height of 162 feet. The 1300A is an all-new design equipped with dual, H-style outriggers with mid-span capability. The enclosed cab has swing controls located in the arm rests — the optional cab can be replaced by open seat controls as an alternative.

 

The 690E-U, ENVI, is a clean machine that runs on biodegradable diesel and uses vegetable oil throughout its hydraulic system. The new unit has a 20-ton maximum capacity, a 90-foot, four-section boom, and a 45-foot two-section jib. The maximum tip height with jib is 144 feet. Another feature of this machine is the H-style “out-and-down” outriggers with full- and mid-span settings.

 

Additional cranes on display at ICUEE from National are the Model 990A-AG, the 14127H, and a second Model 671 E-U • displaying the boom length versatility of the new 600E-U. The Model 990A-AG on display will be fitted with an auger unit to highlight its digging capabilities. It has a four-section boom, a 26-ton maximum capacity, 90-foot maximum boom extension, and a 143-foot maximum tip height. The largest boom truck on the stand will be the 14127H, featuring a five-section boom, a 33-ton maximum capacity, 127-foot maximum boom extension, and a 167-foot maximum tip height with jib. The 671E-U, meanwhile, has a maximum capacity of 20 tons, a 71-foot maximum boom extension, and a maximum tip height of 45 feet.

 

Two Grove Yard Boss models • an 8.5-ton 4409 XL and a 15-ton 5515 • will also be on display at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center site. These cranes are suited for industrial and utility applications, as their carry-deck capability and four-wheel steer maneuverability make them ideal for tight-quarter applications.

 

Elsewhere at Booth # J302 will be a Potain Igo MA13. This self-erecting crane made its U.S. debut earlier this year and has since found great success on job sites where space is at a premium. To read a recent equipment review of this machine, read “Erecting Mobile Opportunities.”
