Manitowoc 4600 Series 3

Boom and Lifting Capabilities

• No. 27 Boom: The boom comprises 40’6″ butt and 20′, and 40′ inserts, with an optional 39’6″ top. It is constructed from all-welded steel with tubular lacings and can handle up to 100,000 PSI yield steel. This boom design facilitates a versatile range of applications by accommodating different lengths for varied project requirements.
• Boom Rigging and Mast System: Features a 16-part line reeved between the lower equalizer and mast with 1-3/8″ diameter bridge strand pendants, enhancing stability and control during operations. A 30′ mast of reinforced box-type construction helps maintain proper boom geometry.

Engine Options and Performance

• Power Plants: Offers multiple engine options like the Cummins VTA-1710-C700 with 685 horsepower and the Detroit Diesel 12V-71N. These engines provide the necessary power for heavy hoisting, swinging, and traveling tasks under various load conditions.
• Fuel Efficiency: Equipped with a large fuel tank capacity of 910 gallons to support extended operation periods without frequent refueling.

Structural Design and Stability

• Lower and Upper Equalizers: These components are crucial for balancing and distributing load across the boom and the crane structure, ensuring stable and safe lifting operations.
• Wire Rope Guide and Roller Guides: Includes induction-hardened, antifriction-bearing-mounted roller guides on the boom top, promoting smooth wire rope movements and reducing wear.

Safety and Controls

• Automatic and Telescopic Boom Stops: Enhance safety by automatically stopping the boom hoist when the boom angle reaches 82° from horizontal and providing a physical stop at 85°.
• VICON Tagline: A boom-mounted, three-barrel tagline with optional VICON control enhances the precision in load handling and placement.

Additional Equipment and Features

• Front End Equipment: The crane’s front end is equipped with heavy-duty components suitable for various rigging configurations, enhancing its adaptability for different tasks.
• Optional Jib: Offers a No. 122A jib with a 50-ton maximum capacity, extendable up to 80′ with 10′ and 20′ inserts, adjustable to various angles, providing additional lifting flexibility.

In conclusion, the Manitowoc 4600 Series 3 crawler crane stands out for its robust construction, powerful engine options, and extensive range of operational features. It is designed to perform in the most challenging environments, making it a vital asset for large-scale industrial and construction projects.
