Manitowoc is unveiling a larger rough terrain crane – the 65 tonne RT770E – at Bauma.

European product manager Federico Lovera said: “This gives customers a long reach five-section boom without having to upgrade to the bigger 70 to 80 tonne class, where cranes are heavier on the road and take up more space on the job site. The RT770E should particularly appeal to customers in the Middle East and Africa.”

Paul Cutchall, Rough-Terrain crane product manager added: “We are using a single cylinder technology that eliminates the need for a hydraulic hose reel. It lightens the boom, and in turn, the entire crane. It has given us considerable freedom and flexibility in the crane’s design and its performance.”
