The DB series currently offers gantry cranes that range from 30 ton to 200 ton (U.S.) capacity and greater. Each DB model is engineered as a unique lifting solution that will solve the toughest material handling challenges you have. The Shuttlelift engineering team will also work closely with you to ensure that your DB series gantry crane meets your needs and surpasses your expectations.

JASO TOWER CRANES

JASO designed the PA series to solve space constraints and capacity issues. These cranes are perfect for high rise projects, where the highest performance is required. The mast sections are identical to those of the equivalent hammerhead tower cranes. JASO displayed the J265PA at CONEXPO. It’s a crane that has done very well in markets such as the UK, Australia and Korea so JASO is hopeful it could become popular in North America due to its maximum load of 18t, reach of 60m and tip load of 2.2t. www.jaso.com

Manitowoc has introduced the new Potain MDT 569, the latest model to join its MDT topless crane range.

MANITOWOC

Manitowoc introduced the new Potain MDT 569, the latest model to join its MDT topless crane range. Designed to be one of Potain’s most high-capacity and versatile cranes, the MDT 569 crane’s modular design features optimized component sizes and weights, facilitating easy transport and assembly. The crane’s impressive load charts, along with its premium technology package, make it an attractive new option for North American customers. The new high-capacity topless crane features industry-leading load charts of up to 35.3 USt (32 t) capacity, easy transport and quick operation. The MDT 569 is also more compact for transport than previous cranes, needing only nine standard containers to transport the crane’s upper assembly. www.manitowoccranes.com

Manitowoc presented two Grove all-terrain cranes at CONEXPO 2020.

Manitowoc presented two Grove all-terrain cranes, one of which was a “virtual launch” a first for Manitowoc. The new 450 USt (400 t) capacity GMK6400-1 is the landmark crane launching virtually, while the 300 USt (250 t) capacity GMK5250XL-1, which launched at bauma 2019 last year, joins the company’s on-stand line up. The GMK6400-1 sets new standards in the increasingly competitive 450 USt (400 t) – 500 USt (450 t) class. It follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the GMK6400, but includes additional reach, enabling it to take on jobs that usually require a seven-axle (or even eight-axle) crane. This delivers a clear competitive advantage and ensures an accelerated return on investment for customers. www.manitowoccranes.com

LINK-BELT

An all-new 80-ton (75-mt) Link-Belt TCC-800 telescopic crawler crane debuted from Link-Belt. The new 80-ton telescopic crawler crane will begin field-testing early spring 2020, and first shipments scheduled in fourth quarter 2020.

SPANCO

Spanco’s booth featured two of its most popular material handling solutions: a Headerless Workstation Bridge Crane and an Aluminum Gantry Crane. The bridge crane and monorails are high-quality ergonomic material handling solutions, especially when you need a system in your garage, barn, or shop to: move equipment and parts on a vehicle, such as an engine, a body of a race car, or a chassis for restoration; to work on outdoor equipment, such as a motorcycle, boat, tractor, snowmobile, golf cart, or four-wheeler and: to lift anything up to 1,000 pounds safely by yourself. Starting as light as 116 pounds, Spanco Aluminum Gantry Cranes are lightweight, portable, and extremely stable under load. The Spanco All-Aluminum Gantries quickly assemble and disassemble, making them popular with contractors who need highly mobile lift equipment that they can take in their service trucks. www.spanco.com
