Manitowoc 4600 Series 4

Engine and Power System

• Engine Specifications: The crane is powered by a Cummins VTA-1710-C700 diesel engine, featuring 12 cylinders and delivering 685 horsepower at 2,000 RPM. This strong engine ensures the crane can handle the most demanding lifting tasks.
• Fuel Capacity: It includes an 840-gallon diesel fuel tank, which supports long operational periods without the need for frequent refueling, enhancing on-site productivity and efficiency.

Structural Design and Stability

• Carbody Design: The one-piece, ribbed steel carbody with integral side wings is engineered to transmit loads directly to the crawler side frames. This design eliminates the need for axles and contributes to a lower center of gravity, significantly enhancing stability and safety.
• Crawler Assembly: Comprises robust crawler side frames and 60″ treads, providing excellent stability and load distribution, essential for heavy lifting operations.

Operator Environment and Control System

• Operator’s Cab: The cab is a fully enclosed and insulated steel module equipped with large safety glass windows, designed to offer comfort, visibility, and reduced noise levels, optimizing operator focus and efficiency.
• Control System: Features graduated air controls for precise operation of main functions and the VICON® system for accurate control of front and rear drums. Drum rotation indicators are standard, providing essential feedback for the boom hoist and drum operations.

Performance Features

• Drum Assemblies: The front and rear drum assemblies are constructed with heat-treated alloy steel drum shafts and feature antifriction bearing mountings, ensuring durability and smooth operation under heavy loads.
• Safety and Handling: Equipped with advanced safety features, including drum control levers that combine clutch and converter controls for nuanced handling of load movements.

In summary, the Manitowoc 4600 Series 4 crane is engineered to deliver top-tier performance and reliability. Its sophisticated design, coupled with powerful engine output and advanced control systems, makes it a preferred choice for heavy lifting operations in construction, mining, and other industrial applications.
