Manitowoc continues to expand the range of possibilities offered by its Zhangjiagang-manufactured Potain cranes with the launch of the MCT 1105. The new model follows hot on the heels of the MCT 1005 M50, which last year became the Chinese facility’s largest-ever topless crane. It shares the same impressive capabilities but delivers significant capacity upgrades all the way along the jib.
Like the MCT 1005 M50, the MCT 1105 has a maximum freestanding height under hook of 69.7 m, a maximum capacity of 50 t, and a maximum working radius of 80 m. However, it offers a substantial increase in tip capacity. The MCT 1105 will lift up to 11 t at the end of its 80 m jib, vs the 8 t lifted by the MCT 1005 M50. The newer model also lifts its maximum 50 t capacity to a longer radius than the MCT 1005. When equipped with the full 80 m jib, the MCT 1105 can lift 50 t to 21.8 m radius, a full 5 m further than the MCT 1005 can handle the same load when working with the same jib.
MANITOWOC strive to answer our customers’ continued requests for greater flexibility by improving performance along the jib. This new landmark crane once again sets the standard for what’s possible with a topless design.
