Manitowoc wins bid to provide cranes to U.S. Army

Oct. 28, 2019 motor-reducer – slewing drive Manitowoc gearbox Cranes was awarded a $28.2 million contract to slewing drive provide gearbox Grove all-terrain cranes to the U.S. slewing bearing Army. The GMK4060HC are specifically slewing drive engineered for military use motor-reducer and  slewing drive have unique features gearbox that make gearbox them motor-reducer suitable for job gearbox sites on a variety of terrains. The slewing drive contract is expected to be fulfilled in gearbox slewing bearing 2020.

The 60 slewing bearing motor-reducer USt, four-axle slewing drive gearbox capacity cranes that feature a MEGAFORM boom were designed gearbox to meet the U.S. Army’s motor-reducer needs, including the ability to ford water up to 48 inches and to motor-reducer operate in harsh conditions. The cranes will also gearbox be painted with slewing bearing Chemical Agent Resistant Coatings slewing drive (CARC) to gearbox follow stringent nuclear and chemical attacks, meaning the gearbox motor-reducer paint won’t deteriorate under the same conditions as gearbox motor-reducer typical paint. The military also asked that the cranes be outfitted to accept armoured cabs. In gearbox addition, the cranes are motor-reducer upfitted with military spec lighting that allows cranes to operate motor-reducer in a blackout light condition when using night vision technologies.

“It’s a motor-reducer great honour to be gearbox able to provide cranes for the U.S. slewing bearing Army,” said Darryl gearbox Mellott, director slewing drive of government motor-reducer marketing at Manitowoc. “Our  gearbox first contract was slewing bearing motor-reducer signed in slewing bearing 2015, and gearbox we are glad to see that slewing drive our gearbox motor-reducer cranes have slewing bearing performed well slewing bearing and serve the slewing bearing Army’s needs. We gearbox designed and built directly to the motor-reducer Army’s specifications and gearbox slewing bearing created the GMK4060HC motor-reducer, which is perfectly suited for its gearbox bridging and motor-reducer support operations around slewing drive slewing bearing the world.”
 

The features slewing bearing on these cranes will slewing drive enable the U.S. Army to tackle projects slewing bearing on the most extreme sites, even working in high-pressure situations slewing bearing in war zones. The cranes will be deployed for constructing barriers,slewing drive setting up areas of slewing bearing operation, bridge slewing bearing building slewing bearing and slewing drive vehicle towing applications, among many other uses. Another benefit for the Army is that the cranes are slewing bearing light slewing drive enough to be transported via C5 and C17 aircraft, as well as by trains and roads.
 

“These slewing bearing are very versatile cranes that will enable the Army to perform the lifts it needs slewing drive for a wide variety of applications,” Mellott said.slewing bearing  “These tough, durable cranes reflect what it means to be ‘Army Strong,’ and we’re proud to support our military, no matter where the battle is.”
