Model 16000 available with MAX-ER

The Manitowoc Model 16000, a 400t (440 USt) crawler crane is now available with Manitowoc Crane Group’s lift-enhancing MAX-ER attachment.
The 16000, launched at CONEXPO in 2005, is often used for wind power equipment erection, as well as petrochemical and fabrication yard applications.
The MAX-ER attachment can provide up to 232 t (256 USt) of counterweight, which increases the crane’s capacity at radius, says Al Kadow, Manitowoc Crane Group’s product marketing manager for lattice-boom cranes.
“With the MAX-ER, not only can you raise longer length booms, but at any given radius the capacity is also better with MAX-ER,” says Kadow.
The standard boom length is 96 m (315 ft) on the 16000. With the MAX-ER, boom length can be increased to 120 m (394 ft). With the addition of a luffing jib, there is an even more dramatic increase. Typically, the 16000 can handle a 54 m (177 ft) boom with a 84 m (275 ft) jib, for a total reach of 138 m (452 ft). But with the MAX-ER, the crane can support a 90 m (295 ft) boom and a 84 m (275 ft) luffing jib, a total of 174 m (570 ft) of reach.
Kadow says this extra reach is particularly useful in jobs where the crane cannot get very close to the area it is needed.
“Many times in petrochemical facilities, for instance, there isn’t enough open area to set up the crane immediately adjacent to the lift site. So the contractors need the extra ‘up and over’ allowed by the MAX-ER.”
For the first time on a Manitowoc crane, this MAX-ER is equipped with a hydraulically driven stinger. According to Kadow, this allows the operator in the cab to hydraulically adjust the position of the MAX-ER behind the crane. The mechanical stinger required manual adjustment.
