| Wind-Power Crane-Jib Attachment: Short Radius The Manitowoc 16000 crawler crane now has an optional jib attachment that is specifically designed for use in wind-turbine construction. The attachment grants the crane enhanced lift ability within a short radius, important in wind-tower assembly. The device’s short length allows the crane to work when it is too windy—a common site condition in wind-turbine construction—for longer fixed or luffing jibs. The Manitowoc 16000 does not require any significant modification to the base crane. Manitowoc Cranes; 920-684-6621; www.manitowoc.com |
