Harms Construction Captivated by Protoype, Buys Very First MLC100-1

By Craig Mongeau CEG EDITOR IN CHIEF

New Jersey’s George Harms Construction is a leading contractor in the Garden State. At the recent Manitowoc Group’s Crane Days event in Shady Grove, Pa., the company didn’t set out be a leader there, but when Rob Harms, CEO of George Harms Construction, saw a prototype of the new Manitowoc MLC100-1 crawler crane in action, he knew his company needed to purchase one — and as a result, the company became the first in the United States to place an order for the new 110-ton machine. What impressed Rob Harms about the MLC100-1 right away? “The simplicity in the design,” he said. “I also was impressed with the counterweight system, the power plant, the controls, the cab, the way you can transport it.” And there was another reason why the Manitowoc MLC100-1 appealed to Harms — it’s made in America. “That’s a big deal for us,” he said. “If you look at any of our cranes, we have an American flag flying. I mean big American flags.” Tim Watters, president of Hoffman Equipment of Piscataway, N.J., the dealer that sold the MLC100-1 to Harms Construction during the Crane Days event, echoed the patriotic sentiment. “Let’s start with that it’s manufactured in the United States,” he said. “It is a feature that resonates with the customers and it is the only 100ton machine in that class that is manufactured here in the U.S. in Shady Grove, Pa. “Harms Construction was impressed that the manufacturing has been brought back to the United States,” Watters continued. “All manufacturers, including Manitowoc, have until now felt that they could not compete with the foreign manufacturers on the smaller machines. These are clearly more of an assembly line process and conventional wisdom says that we don’t do that well anymore. But Manitowoc is stepping up and saying we can take foreign manufacturing on at what they do well and we can beat them at their own game.” Listening to Customers If a crane (or any piece of construction equipment) isn’t manufactured to meet the demands of contractors to efficiently and productively do their jobs, however, it doesn’t matter where it’s made — and the Manitowoc MLC100-1 was designed to meet the unique needs of American contractors. “It is a very transportable machine,” Watters 6

said. “It is designed to move in an operable configuration, where you can load and move the machine on a trailer. The next big feature is the cab, because it’s made in America for Americans. We know what Americans want. They need a wide body cab and that is what the machine has. It self assembles. It is optimized for transportation and after service support.” Another important feature of the MLC100-1 is the crane control system, or CCS. continued on page 8

The MLC100-1 has a 110-ton capacity and a maximum boom length of 200 ft. The newmodel crawler crane has a load moment of 2,680 ft.-kips and is powered by a 300 hp. Cummins 6.7 L Tier IV Final engine.

Manitowoc MLC100-1 Designed for Needs of American Contractors from page 6

“The Manitowoc company utilizes the same operator station — they call it the CCS, crane control system — in every single crane they manufacturer,” Watters said. “Any operator can go from any machine to another machine and they will find the same layout of levers, buttons, screens — every one is the same. This crane also will integrate the CCS into the operating system.” The crane operates via Manitowoc’s CCS, which can be used in conjunction with the company’s Diagnostic Code App to quickly analyze diagnostic screens. When Manitowoc launched its CCS in 2014, the company became the first manufacturer to introduce a common operating platform across multiple product lines. Each CCS unit features the same control layout, including a jog dial and central display with standardized symbols. There are only seven major components that make up CCS, simplifying

service and maintenance and delivering better reliability. The seven components are: crane controller, safety controller, small IO (input/output), large IO, joysticks, jog-dial and display. Each can be easily replaced if necessary, or even switched from another machine for the purposes of completing a job. Other Features of the MLC100-1 The MLC100-1 has a 110-ton capacity and a maximum boom length of 200 ft. The new-model crawler crane has a load moment of 2,680 ft.kips and is powered by a 300 hp Cummins 6.7 L Tier IV Final engine. The crane features a 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 elimcontinued on page 22

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 head rest and electronic seat controls combine with improved HVAC performance for best-in-class comfort. 8

CRANE SALES

Manitowoc

The Manitowoc factory in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, recently celebrated a milestone. The company delivered its 100th Grove GMK4100L-1 all-terrain crane to Sollevamenti Mancini of Tuscany, Italy. “We chose the GMK4100L-1 for its compact dimensions, great performance and superior power,” said Fiorenzo Mancini, owner. The GMK4100L-1 replaced Grove’s GMK4100L in 2016 and is part of the company’s long-boom series of all-terrain cranes.

Link-Belt Tennessee’s Charles Blalock & Sons purchased a Link-Belt TCC 500 telescopic crawler from Atlantic & Southern to use on a job in Knoxville. The company previously rented this model and were impressed by its performance. “We rented the TCC-500 in Chattanooga on a similar project and liked the way it handled the grades on that U.S. 27 project,” said Tim Payne, project superintendent. “When we got this bid, Blalock & Sons decided to go ahead and buy it from the distributor [Atlantic & Southern].”

Manitex Accurate Crane Service of Wallingford, Conn., purchased a new 2018 Manitex 2892C from Empire Crane Company. Features of the 28-ton boom truck, mounted on a Peterbilt 348 truck include out and down outriggers, a 92 ft. boom and single stage jib. “I chose the Manitex 2892C because it is a little bit smaller and will fit my niche and customer needs better than our other cranes. It is going to be a lot more versatile,” said Steve Bishop, owner and operator of Accurate.

Demag

Germany’s Wiesbauer, based in BietigheimBissingen, took delivery of the first Demag AC 55-3 all terrain crane in March. The newly-launched model offers the latest technology, including IC-1 Plus, which allows for maximum lifting capacity. “The crane can be driven very easily. It is well adjusted and can be operated very precisely,” said Peter Graf, crane operator, following a training session. Wiesbauer also recently ordered a Demag AC 300-6, scheduled to be delivered in September.

NEWS

RECENT PURCHASES, DELIVERIES Grove

Due to its work in the petrochemical field, Italian contractor Officine Dandrea, recently purchased new cranes to do the heavy lifting. The company purchased four 45-ton Grove RT550E rough terrain cranes. It plans to use the machines mainly in highly-congested areas, due to their small footprint. “The RT550E fits our requirements perfectly,” said owners Giacomo and Nicola Dandrea. “It can perform lifts that were previously only possible with a two-axle, all-terrain crane.”

Demag Due to the popularity of its two Demag AC 250-5 cranes, North German crane rental company Wittrock Group has ordered two more units from Terex. The new cranes are due to be delivered later this year. “It’s simple: There is no other crane in this capacity class that can meet our needs better than the Demag AC 250-5. And the price/performance ratio is just perfect,” said Marcus Wittrock, general manager of Wittrock Group. Link-Belt BAR-S Services of Cheyenne, Wyo., a company that specializes in moving oil rigs, announced it has purchased a new 275-ton ATC-3275 all-terrain crane from Link-Belt. Local dealer Strong’s Crane Service facilitated the purchase and delivery. “Our primary work is moving drilling rigs, but we also work with other transportation and production facilities moving large equipment,” said co-founder of BAR-S Services, Patty Smith. Manitex In January 2018, Manitex International announced

a $6.3 million order for a total of 42 cranes by Cropac Equipment of Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

Link-Belt Introduces New Lattice Crawler Link-Belt Cranes has introduced the all-new 348 Series 2 300-ton (273-t) lattice crawler crane. Over the years, Link-Belt’s 348 class of lattice crawler has been job proven on projects from Prudoe Bay, Alaska, to Miami. Crane owners and operators will have a lot to like about the new 348 Series 2 300-ton (273-mt) lattice crawler crane, according to the manufacturer. First shipments of the new 348 Series 2 will begin fourth quarter 2018 following final testing in Lexington, Ky.

Power Manufactured and assembled in North America with support around the globe, Cummins QSL 9 350 hp Tier IV Final and Tier III engine options are both available and deliver efficient power to a Kawasaki pump and motor package for fast, responsive, fingertip control providing simultaneous operation Link-Belt Cranes wherever it is needed. testing 220 ft. of Dual swing motors boom with new provide dynamic con348 Series 2 at company headtrol for the smooth free quarters in swing all Link-Belt Lexington, Ky. HYLABS are known for having. The operator also can dial swing speed up or down with volume speed controls in the cab. Matching hydraulically driven main and auxiliary hoist drums utilize Link-Belt designed gear drives for either straight power-up/power-down auto brake mode, or also can incorporate an optional “wet clutch” free fall feature, if required. New ultra-wide hoist drum laggings, an integral part of the drum itself, provide the standard 28 mm hoist rope an extra-large circumference, extending rope life and offering maximum line pull of 53,306 lbs. (24,179 kg). Greater fuel economy is just one of the benefits offered with Series II ECO winch system, resulting in lower operating cost, less engine RPM under load, fewer emissions and all the line pull you need with 28 mm rope. When activated by the operator, ECO hoist provides maximum line speed with lighter loads all with the engine under 1,000 rpm. Also, standard equipped is operator-selectable “auto-engine shutdown” allowing the engine to shut down automatically after extended periods of inactivity, so long as critical operating criteria are met. Cabin The crane operator is assisted by on-board high-resolution winchview, rear-view and non-cab side swing-view cameras to enhance jobsite visibility from within the cab. The operator’s cab is highly functional and comfortable. Inside you will find full LED system monitor and adjustable armchair-mounted controls. The ergonomic design offers the operator greater visibility, more room, and a six-way adjustable seat. An audio/visual travel and swing alarm system alerts crew members 14

on the ground when the crane swings or travels. The intuitive rated capacity limiter monitoring system provides the operator with all lift information, and allows the operator to set swing and other control parameters creating virtual walls with audio, visual alarms and function kick out. The 348 Series 2 has telematics in place to give current data to better forecast maintenance and service needs of the crane. Attachment New attachment on the 348 Series 2 allows the heavy duty boom top section to remain in place to transition from conventional mode to luffing configuration, eliminating the need to change out tops. Maximum heavy duty boom length is 300 ft. (91.4 m) and maximum heavy duty jib combination is 240 ft. (73.1 m) plus 140 ft. (42.7m). Maximum long range boom length is 355 ft. (108.2 m) and maximum long range jib combination is 295 ft. (89.9 m) plus 140 ft. (42.7m). A maximum combination of 180 ft. (54.8 m) of luffing boom and 240 ft. (73.1 m) of luffing jib provides 420 ft. (128 m) of attachment and a tip height of 419 ft. (127.7 m). In order to provide quick conversion from conventional style lifting to a luffing configuration, assembly has been simplified with the introduction of the following: • Semi-bore weldments for pin locations • “Point of use” storage provisions for all components • Stop cams for quick pin alignment A new luffing jib transport package with lifting lugs simplifies and expedites luffer assembly. The rear post will scissor into place by means of alignment links. The transport package also comes assembled with nylon rope reeving to assist with initial luffing jib wire rope hoist reeving. Once the rear post is in working position, all luffing jib pendant connections are made and the luffer is ready to be raised for work. All assembly is done from the ground with no work at height exposure. The 348 Series 2 has a live mast cylinder for self-assembly and lattice extensions can be mixed and matched with existing conventional boom of 348 H5 models so you can use heavy duty, transition, and long range boom on the 348 Series 2. Lower Two position track gauges offer owners variable track positions depending on the application: extended position provides a wide base for operations where conditions allow 22 ft. (6.71 m) and retracted at 19 ft. 2 in. (5.84 m) compliments for tighter, more restricted environments. Front and rear lower counterweights feature ‘hook and pin’ style car body design and consist of two stacked weights at the front and rear — top counterweight slab weighs 17,000 lbs. (7,711 kg) and lower weighs 20,000 lbs. (9,340 kg) — fitting neatly between the side frames even in fully retracted gauge. The upper superstructure and lower carbody of the new 348 Series 2 comprise the main transport load, requiring no undecking or assist crane.

Transport To accommodate varying transport regulations throughout North America, the 348 Series 2 is equipped with car body jacks and quick disconnects on lower hydraulics for quick and easy installation and removal of side frames when needed. Counterweight and lattice sections of the 348 Series 2 are also configured for minimal overflow loads. A new counterweight removal system can lift up to 227,000 lbs. (102,965 kg) of upper counterweight. For more information, visit www.linkbelt.com. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Demag AC 500-8 All-Terrain Crane Erects Tower Crane in Stuttgart

You would be hard-pressed to find a place in Germany that is as busy and congested as the area around the main train station in Stuttgart. And that is exactly where Bietigheim-Bissingen-based crane service provider Wiesbauer had to erect a 295 ft. (90-m)-tall top-slewing tower crane for construction company STRABAG-Züblin and STRABAG-BMTI. For the challenging project, Wiesbauer decided on its Demag AC 500-8 all terrain crane for a number of reasons, including its compact design and the associated maneuverability. While getting the eight-axle unit through downtown Stuttgart was a relatively relaxed affair, accessing the work site behind the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW) buildings proved to be significantly trickier. “The area behind the bank could not be accessed by our heavy goods vehicles directly, as the official access road passes through a bridge with a 30-tonne limit and consequently is not designed to carry the weight of our vehicles,” Wiesbauer Project Manager Marco Wilhelm said. This meant that an alternative route had to be found for the crane and lowbed trailers. The private tunnel used by Landesbank BadenWürttemberg and Deutsche Bahn, which also led to the setup location for the tower crane behind the LBBW high-rise, was the obvious solution. Therefore, one of the busiest intersections in all of Stuttgart had to be closed briefly at five o’clock in the morning so that the crane, assist crane and the lowbed trailers would be able to pass through the tunnel against the direction of traffic. Once the vehicles were at the site, it was time for the Demag AC 5008 to shine with its ease of assembly: It took the team a mere 6 hours to set up the crane with a WIHI-SSL 60 degree configuration, a telescopic boom length of 170 ft. (51.80 m), a 216.5 ft. (66-m) luffing fly jib, and 132 t (120 t) of counterweight. This made it possible for the AC 500-8 to reach the required hook height of more than 341 ft. (104 m) and lift the top-slewing tower crane components, which weighed up to 14.8 ton (13.5 t), at a radius of 141 ft. (43 m). The crane’s excellent lifting capacity values at large hook heights and radii were crucial for the Stuttgart assignment.

Shared Perception Before the actual lifts to erect the tower crane, a smaller assist crane was first used to lift the corresponding components off the lowbed trailers and set them down on the ground so that they could be pre-assembled. After this, the Demag AC 500-8 took over the erection work as the main crane, and this meant that it had a number of unique challenges ahead of it: Since the tower crane had to be placed between two office buildings right next to the large glass façade of the LBBW high-rise, extremely high operating precision was required. And on top of this, all the tower crane components had to be positioned over and beyond the high-rise and the jib had to be assembled over the latter — no mean feat for crane operators Karlheinz Moll and Steven Ziellmann, who also had to contend with the fact that there was a wall blocking their line of sight and accordingly had to rely on their BMTI fellow team members to

guide them by radio. “In addition, the two high rise buildings provided wind effects that had to be included in our lift plans,” Karlheinz Moll and Steven Ziellmann said, while describing an additional challenge that required for both of them to stay extremely focused throughout the entire project. Fortunately, both their experience and the precise controls that characterize the AC 500-8 meant that they had the situation under control at all times and were able to complete the job on time. “Just like we expected, our AC 500-8 proved to be the right choice once again,” Wilhelm said, while explaining that both the crane’s and his team’s performance exceeded his expectations.

Manitowoc Crane Group Unveils New Products During Crane Days The Manitowoc Crane Group recently held a Crane Days event in Shady Grove, Pa., where it unveiled six new crane models. Here is a roundup of five of those new models. The sixth model, the Manitowoc MLC100-1, is featured in our cover story in this magazine.

a clever rope reeving system for pinning the jib tie-bar line. Grove GMK4090

Potain MR 160 C The Potain MR 160 C offers an 11-ton capacity, a tip load of 2.6 tons and a maximum jib length of 164 ft. The jib can be luffed to a nearly vertical position of 86 degrees while attaining enhanced underhook heights and avoiding obstacles. High-performance slewing and hoisting equipment provides precise control of loads throughout the entire working radius. Erection of the MR 160 C is simplified due to the rapid-pin connection of the equipped counter jib, which is secured by anti-chute devices. The jib foot can be fit by simply inserting into the notches of the slewing tower head, and both the hoisting and luffing winches operate by way of

The new GMK4090 taxi crane offers a 167 ft., six-section Megaform boom that utilizes Grove’s Twin-Lock pinning system. Boosting its overall reach is a 49-ft. bi-fold swing-away jib that can be extended with a 20-ft. boom extension for a total jib length of 69 ft. It can travel with a maximum 20.2-tons counterweight, and within 13 tons per axle, it can transport up to 10 tons to the job site without the need for an additional transport truck. Also, the distance between the front and rear axle groups was extended beyond the 8-ft. minimum requirement for U.S. bridge laws. The crane features compact dimensions, with a narrow width of 8.4 ft. It has a minimum tail swing of only 11.6 ft. The GMK4090 also offers the new MAXbase feature as an option — this variable outrigger setting gives the crane more setup flexibility on the job site, especially when erecting it on irregular job site grounds. MAXbase also offers greater capacity when compared with the 360-degree standard load chart. The GMK4090 features Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS), an easy-to-use operating interface that has now been standardized across the company’s crane offerings and is featured on every new model. National Crane NBT50L National Crane’s NBT50L Series offers a 151-ft. boom and a maximum tip height of 158 ft. With the added reach, there’s less of a need to swing a jib on the job site. The new boom truck series also features a 36ft. offsettable lattice jib. There are four models in the NBT50L Series: the NBT50L, NBT55L, NTC50L and NTC55. These cranes are available with a 50-ton or 55-ton rating, and can be configured to operate as a model NTC, a truck crane/boom truck hybrid. When configured as an NTC, the crane has four distinct outrigger setups, including a 20-ft. “truck crane” footprint for tighter job site requirements. All cranes in the NBT50L Series offer a working capacity of 10,000 lbs. when the boom is fully extended at a 35-ft. radius. The NBT50L Series benefits from a new superstructure design that 18

wider than other rough-terrain models, and the Crane Control System (CCS) viewing screen has been optimized for easy viewing. The cab also can hydraulically tilt up to 20 degrees. Grove TMS500-2 The Grove 40-ton capacity TMS500-2 will have two boom options.

has been optimized to reduce deflection, offering higher lifting capacities. Other new features include a 20-degree hydraulic tilting cab, removable counterweight system, internal anti-two-block wiring and the 36-ft. offsettable lattice jib. A two-camera system for operator visibility and a wireless wind-speed sensor for lift planning also are available as options. Grove GRT9165 The Grove GRT9165 is a 165-ton capacity crane that features a 205 ft. six-section, pinned boom. Tip height maxes out at 299.1 ft., and both manual and hydraulic extensions are available. It has been designed for easy transport, with a compact overall height of 148.5 in. It also has hydraulically removable counterweight and outrigger boxes, in addition to a hydro-gas suspension on the rear axle. With all components removed, the GRT9165 weighs in at an easily roadable gross vehicle weight of approximately 116,000 lbs. The updated cab features a new wide-body design, measuring 3 in.

The first ranges from 29 to 95 ft., with three quick-reeve Nylatron sheaves in its main boom nose. The second option ranges from 32 to 102 ft. and has four quick-reeve Nylatron sheaves. Both four-section booms are synchronized and full-power. The crane also can be equipped with an optional 26 to 45 ft. telescoping swingaway jib for additional reach. The TMS500-2 shares a common carrier cab with the higher-capacity TMS9000-2. This single-person cab comes with an upgraded console with an automotive-style gauge display and multi-function steering, which grants fingertip access to cruise control and driving lights. The superstructure cab features full-vision design for maximum visibility, an improved climate control system and Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS), which includes a working range limiter, operator-programmable function speeds and a selectable ECO mode that reduces fuel consumption. The crane also features a 350 hp Cummins ISL engine with an Ultrashift transmission that provides highway travel speeds of up to 70 mph. The TMS500-2 can be configured with either a heavy or lightweight counterweight package for added versatility when meeting local roading requirements.

Link-Belt 110RT Rough-Terrain Crane Gets to Work on Wasatch Mountains Big-D Construction of Salt Lake City, Utah, recently took ownership of a new 110-ton (100-t) 110RT rough terrain crane for a project in northern Utah. In order to accommodate the requirements of the 30-acre job site in a ravine in the Wasatch Mountains, Big-D Construction needed a crane with a small footprint with excellent reach to place more than 280,000 sq. ft. of heavy PERI forms for 18 in. (45.7 cm) thick reinforced concrete foundation walls. “I asked for the 110RT specifically since we used Link-Belt machines in the past in this configuration. We used the 90-ton [RTC-8090 Series II] on other projects, and we’ve used the 130-ton [RTC-80130 Series II], so we wanted the 110RT on this project, knowing what it could accomplish. The RTC-8090 Series II worked in Montana in the winter at about a 9,000 ft. altitude and it did a great job. Here, we are only about 6,800 ft. high, with hot and windy summers and snow comes early,” said Shaun Boydston, superintendent of Big-D Construction. Construction on the mountain location requires crew on the ground to move around a lot of materials from a single delivery point on the job site. Other requirements include pouring concrete, placing rebar columns for heavier construction, and lifting and placing up to 13,000 lb. (5,896 kg) panels that measure 24 to 30 ft. (7.3 to 9.1 m) wide and up to 34 ft. (10.3 m) tall. “We have to ensure we have enough range and capacity to get to where the crews are working. We build our way out, reaching back to the hillside where the formwork is ongoing. We are working at about a 130-foot radius with large panels. We basically set the machine inside the footprint of the building. The crane’s boom is fully scoped to 164 feet for hours at a time to make sure we give ourselves enough range and capacity,” Boydston explained. More than 560 panels are placed when working on the back foundation wall nearest to the mountain. Forms weighing between 1,500 to 5,900 lbs. (680 to 2,676 kg) must be placed at a radius up to 127 ft.

Harms Construction Awaits Early 2019 Delivery of New MLC100-1

from page 8

inates 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 head rest and electronic seat controls combine with improved HVAC performance for best-in-class comfort. End users can customize the MLC100-1 with numerous options to suit their specific job site needs. These include a free-fall option, a thirddrum option with 72-ft. wire rope, generator-powered boom lights and a cold weather package for high performance in the toughest climates. The crane allows for easy service with high-visibility sight glasses and quick drains on every gear box. The main valve also is easily accessible.

A Long-Time Relationship Harry Rice, crane specialist of Hoffman Equipment, said all of these features of the MLC100-1 are a direct result of the Manitowoc Group’s focus on end users and incorporating what they’ve requested into its cranes’ designs. Simply put, they’ve been listening to their customers “Harms Construction has a long-time relationship with both Hoffman Equipment and Manitowoc,” said Rice. “They definitely feel that there is a great line of communication now between Manitowoc and the customer and what they actually want in a crane in today’s market.” “They [Manitowoc] are building cranes for their customers now, where before they were building cranes for what they thought the need was,” said Harms. “Now, they are building it for what the actual need is. That was a big take away from our visit to Cranes Days and touring the manufacturing facility — that was a positive thing for us.” And it was this relationship and trust that Harms Construction has both with Manitowoc and Hoffman Equipment that led it to purchasing a prototype — Harms is confident that when the MLC100-1 is delivered to the company in the first quarter of 2019 that it will be a productive and important addition to its sizable crane fleet. “Harms has always been a great customer of ours,” said Watters. “They own approximately 10 Manitowoc cranes and have been buying Manitowoc cranes since the early 1990s. They attended Crane Days primarily to see the new line that has been set up for Manitowoc crawlers since Manitowoc moved the crawler manufacturer process from Wisconsin to Shady Grove. But they were not planning on buying a crane when they got in the car that morning. After the introduction 22

of the MLC100-1, we walked up and looked at the machine and within about 30 minutes they were pretty impressed with what they saw. They said ‘how much is it — we’ll take it.’”

Anticipating 2019 Rob Harms is looking forward to delivery of the MLC100-1 in early 2019 and already has big plans for it. “We plan to use the new MLC100-1 mostly on our highway projects,” he said. “We have a project in Jersey City … the Route 7 Wittpenn Bridge. It’s a $197 million New Jersey DOT project that is going on right now. It’ll most likely go on that job and hopefully, we have more jobs coming up where we’ll put the crane to work. We had a big need for a 110-ton crane and we’ll be keeping it busy. It’s always nice to be the first one and we are excited to take delivery.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CQ

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 72-ft. wire rope, generator-powered boom lights and a cold weather package for high performance in the toughest climates.
