MANITEX INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF THE TC850 SERIES TRUCK MOUNTED CRANE
BRIDGEVIEW, IL,
March 10th 2023 –
Manitex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTX), a
leading international provider of truck cranes,
specialized industrial equipment, and
construction equipment rental solutions to
infrastructure and construction markets, today
announced the launch of the all new TC850 Series
truck mounted crane in conjunction with opening
day of CONEXPO-Las Vegas.
The TC85159 will
feature an 85-ton base rating at 10’ radius and
features 5-Section 159’, full power,
proportionally extended boom with 168’ tip
height and 228’ tip height when equipped with
optional 2-piece, 30’-60’foot Bi-fold offset
lattice jib. The new formed boom design will
provide excellent relative stiffness in long
reach applications making it attractive to steel
erectors and other high duty cycle applications
where production work is key. The TC85159 will
offer 360-degree area of operation without need
for a front/fifth outrigger. Non-equal outrigger
positioning, along with increased ground
penetration will afford the operator quick set
up in confined spaces and on uneven terrain.
“Manitex is pleased
to launch an 85-ton high reach truck mounted
crane with an all-new outrigger design,
eliminating the need for a front jack,” stated
Jeff Long, General Manager Sales of Manitex.
“We are confident that the capabilities of the
new TC850 will be well received by the crane
industry, and we are pleased to announce we have
received orders for the TC850 from CraneWorks,
Inc. headquartered in Houston Texas.”
Scott Wilson, VP
Sales and Marketing at CraneWorks, inc.
commented “CraneWorks with the design and
manufacturing support of Manitex International
is pleased to be a part of supporting the crane
industry with new innovative ideas on display at
ConExpo. Manitex has developed a new crane with
features that our customers and the crane
industry have been waiting for. The new features
will allow our customers to have the capacity,
reach, and necessary road speeds to meet their
exacting demands. The new TC850 on display
at ConExpo fits the needs of CraneWorks and
their longtime customer Southern Lifting and
Hoisting.”
“At Manitex, we
continue to listen to our dealers and end-users
to develop new, higher capacity cranes that are
well-suited for a wide variety of market
applications while offering the overall benefits
of crane solutions combined with a commercial
chassis vs the traditional truck mounted crane,”
concluded Long.
