Wind turbine attachment

Manitowoc offers a new attachment for its Model 16000 crawler crane designed for wind turbine installation. The attachment is designed to boost the crane’s capacity, allowing it to erect the latest generation of wind turbines. The attachment uses existing hardware in a new configuration to give the crane significantly enhanced lift capability when working at short radii, as is generally required in wind turbine erection. The Manitowoc 16000 wind attachment fits to any 440 USt-rated standard Manitowoc 16000 and can install most 2.5 MW wind turbines on towers between 262 and 279 feet.
