NEW TEREX® MAC 25 SL COUNTERWEIGHT SYSTEM NOW INCREASES
LIFTING CAPACITY OF TEREX PICK AND CARRY CRANES BY UP TO 30 PER CENT
Brisbane, Australia, April 5th, 2012 - Terex Cranes has recently launched the Terex® MAC 25 SL, a new Superlift counterweight system specially designed to increase the lifting capacity of the company’s current and earlier MAC 25 pick and carry crane models produced in Brisbane, Australia.
Designed based on extensive customer feedback, the new Terex MAC 25 SL Superlift counterweight system incorporates 2160 kg (4760 lbs) of additional counterweight to increase the rear axle weight of its pick and carry crane from 14 to 16.6 tonnes (15,5 to 18,3 US tons), increasing lifting capacity by up to 30 per cent in many cases.
“Our customers are extremely loyal to our pick and carry crane design. The new MAC 25 SL system now provides them the additional capacity they were looking for to extend the range of their lifting operations. This means up to 30 per cent more lifting capacity over the current capacity - which is a real competitive advantage” says Danny Black, General Manager Terex Cranes Australia
As Australia’s most successful crane type, Terex Pick & Carry cranes are used extensively in a wide variety of lifting applications throughout the country. In addition to increasing the ability of the company’s current MAC 25 pick and carry crane model, the new Terex MAC 25 SL Superlift counterweight system can also be retrofitted onto earlier pick and carry models to increase their lifting potential.
About Terex® Pick &Carry Cranes
As the most successful crane ever built in Australia, Terex Pick & Carry cranes live up to their name with the strength and easy operation to pick up heavy loads, and articulated steering flexibility to move in tight spaces.
Offering high road speeds to get to the jobsite quickly, their pick and carry capability on tires needs no outriggers, to get set up and working almost immediately.
The Terex Pick & Carry Crane range includes three models offering lifting capacities ranging from 15 to 25 tonnes (17-28 US tons) incorporating many features which enhance safety, driver ergonomics and improved machine operation.
The new Terex MAC 25 SL Superlift counterweight system is designed to provide additional lifting capacity to all current MAC 25 Terex Pick & Carry cranes and can easily be retrofitted onto earlier models to increase their lifting potential.
