MLC165

Overview

MLC165 is a Manitowoc lattice‑boom crawler crane in the manufacturer’s lattice‑boom crawler crane product family. The design centers on a lattice‑style boom combined with a tracked crawler undercarriage, delivering long reach and high-capacity lifting capability compared with telescopic cranes of similar envelope. Typical technical characteristics for this equipment type include modular lattice‑boom sections that allow multiple boom and luffing configurations, tracked mobility for on‑site travel and setup without a separate chassis, and counterweight/ballast systems to tune lift capacity and stability for different lifts. Controls, hoisting winches and load‑handling gear are integrated into the upperworks and operator cab for in‑cab control of hoisting, slewing and boom functions. Intended for heavy‑lifting, long‑reach applications in industrial construction and infrastructure projects where large loads and extended radii are required. Common operational contexts include bridge and civil construction, petrochemical and power plant lifts, rigging and module installs, and erection tasks such as wind‑tower components where reach and stability are priorities. Buyers typically configure lattice‑boom crawlers like the MLC165 with specific boom lengths, jibs and counterweight packages to match lift plans and site ground‑bearing constraints; the tracked undercarriage supports movement and positioning on rough or unfinished jobsite surfaces.
