MLC300 VPC-MAX

Manitowoc’s new Model MLC300 utilizes Variable Position Counterweight®(VPC®) proprietary technology to “actively” engage all counterweight and eliminate the need for “passive” carbody weights. The design results in a dramatically reduced transport configuration and better center of gravity for reduced ground bearing pressures. The Model MLC300 is available in VPC® and VPC-MAX® configurations for additional capacity.
