Another new crane from JMG

Italian pick & carry crane manufacturer JMG has launched a new six tonne battery powered crane.

The new model, the MC60 comes just a few months after the company launched the 11 tonne MC110 model and is, it says, just one more step towards completing a range of battery electric cranes that extends from two to 60 tonnes.

The MC60 can handle its 6,000kg maximum capacity at a distance of a half a metre in front of the crane’s front bumper. It boasts a four section full power telescopic boom with provides an 8.8 metre lift height and up to 5.5 metres of horizontal outreach.
