At ConExpo in March, Maeda USA and its parent company will be exhibiting a line of outrigger-equipped spider mini-crawler cranes that can fit through doorways for indoor use, reach as high as 68 ft., have rated capacities up to 4.2 tons, and are designed for limited access and tight work space lifting.
Three models of the MC series will be shown including units with dual power (diesel / electric & gasoline / LPG). A new optional auxiliary winch will be introduced with high rope capacity allowing for work from rooftops as far as 330 ft. below the machine. Other options showcased will be jib style searcher hook boom extensions, a fixed mounted man basket, fly jib attachments, and a remote controlled manipulator vacuum device for placement of glass, steel plate, or smooth stone. All MC models will display wireless radio remote control, moment limiter safety systems with load indicator, heavy duty black or non-marking white rubber tracks, three sheave hook blocks, among other features.
The company will also display the LC785M-8, a 5.4 ton capacity telescoping boom crawler. The no-outrigger design offers a 67-ft. maximum tip height and near zero tail swing. The LC model is similar in size and design to the popular mini-excavators, except equipped with a telescopic boom and hook. The LC785M-8 will display the front blade attachment and stowed swing away fly-jib attachment.
