BMW Notebook: exclusive Manitowoc crawler crane VPC

Visit the bauma2016 booth Manitowoc visitors can learn more information about the company's unique VPC technology in "crawler crane innovation Pavilion", to display a variety of presentations will show the function and advantages of this system. The company's product manager and crawler crane experts will explain VPC and related items to the company's full set of crawler crane products.

VPC technology is applied to the two newest models of manufacturing companies -- MLC300 and MLC650, and the flagship product of 2300 tons, Manitowoc31000, which is the largest crane in the company. The unique feature of VPC technology is that it can automatically locate the weight to meet the lifting requirements. By moving along the revolving base of the crane, VPC can change its position with the angle of the main arm of the crane. Its precise position is determined by the load, the length of the main arm and the arm and the radius of the load. The innovative design has brought many practical advantages to the owners, including reducing ground preparation, reducing ground pressure, and overall reducing the need for weight.

BruceBuchan, a senior vice president of Mani Tova J crawler crane, said that although VPC technology is relatively new, it has proved its value to the owners.

"As we show our MLC300 and MLC650 CONEXPO in Las Vegas on the show after only two years, we have obtained customers positive feedback, enormous cost and time to bring them to save these cranes, this is largely due to VPC," he said.

One client said that by using VPC, an Australian project could save nearly $4 million. Now that the crane is on the market, we have learned from many customers that these theoretical economization has become a reality. "

Because VPC can get greater lifting capacity by extending the weight from the center of gravity of the crane to reduce the weight of the overall needs. Reduce the number of trucks needed on the site to assemble and disassemble the crane, and increase the efficiency. The use of VPC technology is an ideal choice for energy related projects, including refineries, oil facilities and power plants, and even infrastructure operations.

In addition to the standard VPC, MLC300 and MLC650 are equipped with a VPC-MAX superposition to improve the lifting capacity and the combination of the main arm and the arm. Because the VPC-MAX configuration does not touch the ground, it also brings another advantage to the offshore operation, which makes this crane an ideal choice for barge operation. In addition, when configured by VPC-MAX, MLC650 can be applied to some of the most challenging installation works in wind farms, including the placement of turbines at a height of over 120 meters.

The transportation of MLC300 and MLC650 has been optimized, the transportation is fast and convenient, and even to the overseas. They all have a removable movable mast transport assembly, and the main boom insert section is designed to install the swing arm into the housing, and then transport it together to make transportation more efficient.

Another advantage for users is that both MLC650 and MLC300 take the lead in Mani Tova J's ergonomic design of the crane control system (CCS). This control system is well known for its reliability and ease of maintenance and is being introduced into the Grove, Potain, National Crane, and Manitowoc products.
