MEC Aerial Work Platforms has entered the crane market with the unveiling of the CD-9T diesel carry deck crane. MEC noted that its lifting heritage, particularly in the boom lift market, made the move into carry deck cranes a natural extension.
The company says the CD-9T is designed around what it calls“-ability” for customers: visibility, comfortability, serviceability and availability. The deck is completely clear, with the engine mounted on the side, and six onboard cameras provide a bird’ s-eye view. The cab is 25 % larger by volume than competitive models and standard features include a suspension seat, air conditioning and heating and a cab door that can open either similar to a barn door or fully outward.
The counterweight swings sideways using three large bolts and a single pin, eliminating the need for additional equipment during service. MEC said the top panel will be hinged in production, allowing ground-level access to engine maintenance. The oil fill and yellow dipstick are also accessible from the ground, reducing the need for technicians to climb on the machine in poor weather conditions.
The CD-9T has a maximum lifting capacity of 18,000 pounds, a maximum sheave height of 46 feet, eight inches and a maximum horizontal reach of 40 feet with the standard 10-foot boom extension. The crane has a gross weight of 19,800 pounds and a stowed height of seven feet, 10 inches. Power comes from a 74-horsepower Deutz turbo diesel engine, paired with non-marking
Platform Basket displayed the 54 T WCH, a versatile, self-propelled, rubber-tracked lifter that can be used either as an elevating work platform or equipped with a winch to work as a crane. This telescoping lifter can work at heights to 177.17 feet and offers a maximum lifting capacity of 2,204 pounds, according to the company. The compact winch is fully hydraulic, controlled remotely and equipped with enough rope to handle material on roofs and other elevated spaces. The maxiumum lifting speed is 65.6 feet per minute. The unit complies with the UNI EN 13000 and ISO4301-1 / 2 standards for cranes, mobile cranes and lifting appliances.
The 54 T WCH can be converted quickly and easily from a work platform to a crane by simply replacing the basket and basket rotation parts with the winch. It features a quick removal of the support and basket rotation parts. With this configuration, this machine offers versatility and allows for different types of work with a single machine.
