Manitowoc’s 400t-capacity 16000 crawler crane has more than enough capacity to make your tough lifts on the jobsite look easy.

Its heavy lift 96m boom can be augmented in a variety of combinations to provide added reach for enhanced load chart performance. To help riggers with quick crane mobilisations, the 16000 is engineered with FACT^™ connectors. This is Manitowoc’s Fast Aligning Connection Technology (FACT), which precisely aligns crane components for safe, fast, easy assembly.

The 16000’s lifting performance can be stepped up further through the addition of the optional MAX-ER^® counterweight enhancement feature, which can either be specified as a  Hanging MAX-ER or Wheeled MAX-ER. Whichever MAX-ER option suits your application, the fact is the additional counterweight enhancement will increase the 16000’s capacity and simultaneously offers greater boom flexibilities.

And there’s the 16000’s EPIC^® control system which takes the guess work out of lifting operations. Manitowoc’s field-proven Electronically Processed Independent Controls (EPIC) system delivers high productivity and precise load control by instantly matching a crane’s commands to the crane function. EPIC’s microprocessor maximizes a Manitowoc crane’s function capability and simplifies servicing by pinpointing any problem in the crane’s engine, power transmission and other operating systems. In addition, EPIC increases versatility by easily tailoring a Manitowoc crane’s operation for specialized applications, with or without attachments. EPIC is a key reason no other crane can match the performance and reliability of Manitowoc ‘s crawler cranes.

Other performance-boosting features on the 16000 crawler crane include:

• Closed-loop hydraulic systems which provide a separate hydraulic circuit to power each crane function
• Block-up limit control is standard for hoist and whip lines
• Standard travel and swing alarms
• Operator’s cab is a fully enclosed and insulated galvannealed steel module, equipped with power tilt, sliding door, large safety glass windows on all sides, front and roof windshield wipers, dome light, sun visor and shade, fire extinguisher, air conditioning, swing and travel alarms, and radio/CD player. Operator’s station swings over front of rotating bed for transportation
• Spring cushioned boom stop and automatic boom stop are standard
• Each crawler is powered independently by a variable displacement hydraulic motor and includes hydraulically powered pin actuators for fast installation and removal from carbody
