Manitowoc Introduces New Potain MCT 105 City Crane, Manufactured in India

Manitowocc’s factory has just introduced a new topless cane: MCT 105 H5. The new model is bigger than the MCT 85 F5, having the same 5 t maximum capacity but with the ability to lift that load to greater distances.

With a jib length ranging from 20 to 40 m, the crane can lift its 5 t maximum capacity out to 19.8 m, and in some cases, even beyond. With its full 60 m jib, the crane can lift a 5 t load out to 14.7 m. The crane is mounted on 1.2 m-wide mast sections and offers a maximum freestanding height of 38.6 m or 37.7 m if working as a climbing crane

“With construction projects continuing to demand more powerful, yet compact, topless cranes, the enhanced load curve of the MCT 105 H5 will be greatly appreciated across India, its neighbouring countries, and emerging markets in general.”

Said Chris Eastham, general manager of Manitowoc’s factory in Pune.

For better utilisation for fleet owners, several key components are standard between the MCT 105 and MCT 85, most notably the 4 D3V3 trolley, which provides travel speeds of up to 58 m/min or up to 70 m/min depending on local power supply. Alternative hoist systems are also available, offering 400 and 480 V options that can handle the crane’s maximum capacity at up to 18 m/min. The crane’s hoist can accommodate up to 500 m of rope.
