Capacity up 30% on Terex pick and carry

Terex Cranes has launched a Superlift type counterweight system to increase the lifting capacity of its MAC 25 pick and carry cranes.

The MAC 25 SL Superlift counterweight system is 2,160 kg of additional counterweight that increases the weight on the rear axle from 14 to 16.6 tonnes. It increases lifting capacity by up to 30 per cent in many cases, on the Brisbane, Australia-built cranes.

"Our customers are extremely loyal to our pick and carry crane design. The new MAC 25 SL system now provides them the additional capacity they were looking for to extend the range of their lifting operations. This means up to 30 per cent more lifting capacity over the current capacity, which is a real competitive advantage," said Danny Black, Terex Cranes Australia general manager.

In addition to increasing the ability of the current 25 tonne capacity MAC 25 pick and carry crane model, the new Terex MAC 25 SL Superlift counterweight system can also be retrofitted onto earlier models.
