Manitowoc MLC100-1

The MLC100-1 has a 100 t (110 USt) capacity and a maximum boom length of 61 m (200 ft). The new-model crawler crane has an impressive load moment of 371 t-m (2,680 ft-kips) and is powered by a 300 hp Cummins 6.7 L Tier 4 Final engine.

The crane will save customers time on the job site because of its self-assembly hook, which enables the operator to install the counterweight without any outside assistance. During assembly, the crane uses a single segment of hoist line with a button termination, which is routed through sheaves in the boom butt. This eliminates the need to assemble the boom top and enables operators to get to work faster when compared with competing cranes in the same class.

The MLC100-1 has an improved, wider cab design, with easier access to the cab made possible by additional grab bars and a movable left-hand console. In addition, the cab’s high-back seat with headrest and electronic seat controls combine with improved HVAC performance for best-in-class comfort.

The crawler crane allows for easier service than ever, with high-visibility sight glasses and quick drains on every gearbox. The main valve is also easily accessible. The crane operates via Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS), which can be used in conjunction with the company’s new Diagnostic Code App to quickly analyze diagnostic screens.

End users can customize the MLC100-1 with numerous options to suit their specific job site needs. These include a free-fall option, a third-drum option with a 22-m (72-ft) wire rope, generator-powered boom lights and a cold weather package for high performance in the toughest climates.
