New Manitowoc Model 14000

Manitowoc said it has already received several dozen orders for its new 200 tonne capacity Model 14000 crawler crane.

Al Kadow, Manitowoc product marketing manager, said that, in part, the 14000 is an alternative for the old mechanical Model 4100W. “The Model 14000 is a fully hydraulic crawler crane of modern design whereas the Model 4100W was one of the stalwarts of our traditional crane line, but they share many of the same characteristics.” Kadow said.

“They will also share much of the same client base. Customers for the Model 14000 will be contractors working in virtually all types of applications - commercial construction, bridge building, tunnelling work, fabrication yards, petrochemical plants, etc.,” Kadow continued.

Maximum main boom is 86 m and maximum luffing jib is 113.8 m. Power is from a 253 kW 8.9 litre Cummins QSL diesel.

Deliveries will begin in early 2007, the manufacturer said.
