Manitowoc cranes are renowned for their robust construction and exceptional performance in heavy-duty lifting operations. Among their impressive lineup, the Manitowoc MLC300 stands out as a reliable workhorse in the construction industry. Let’s delve into what makes the Manitowoc MLC 300 crane a standout choice and explore the top-quality components we supply for this exceptional machine.
What Is Manitowoc MLC300?
The Manitowoc MLC300, a lattice boom crawler crane, leads the 300t capacity class, revolutionizing lifting operations with its cutting-edge VPC technology. Featuring various boom/jib configurations like the 3.5m wide boom kit for exceptional capacities with Extended Upper Boom Point and VPC-MAX, this crane demonstrates unmatched adaptability. With its fixed position counterweight arrangement and multiple drum options, the MLC300 crane embodies Manitowoc’s legacy of versatile and effective lifting solutions.
What Is VPC technology in the MLC300
VPC technology in the Manitowoc MLC300 crane, or Variable Position Counterweight technology, dynamically adjusts the counterweight position on the crane to optimize stability and performance during lifting operations. This system continuously monitors the load being lifted, calculating the ideal counterweight position for stability. By shifting the counterweight along the crane’s chassis in real-time, the VPC technology ensures balance and security throughout the lifting process. This adaptive response to load changes or crane movements prevents tilting and instability, enhancing operational efficiency and safety on the job site.
The influence of VPC technology on the Manitowoc MLC300 Undercarriage
The Variable Position Counterweight (VPC) technology has a significant impact on the undercarriage of the Manitowoc MLC300 crane:
Enhanced Stability
By dynamically adjusting the counterweight position, VPC technology improves the stability of the crane on the undercarriage, ensuring secure and balanced operations.
Optimized Weight Distribution
The ability to move the counterweight as needed helps in precisely distributing weight on the undercarriage, maximizing load-bearing capacity and operational efficiency.
Reduced Ground Pressure
VPC technology aids in distributing the load effectively on the undercarriage, reducing ground pressure and enhancing the crane’s performance on different terrains.
Improved Maneuverability
The adaptive nature of VPC technology contributes to better maneuverability of the crane on the undercarriage, allowing for smoother movements and precise positioning during lifting tasks.
Customized Configurations
VPC technology allows for tailored counterweight positions based on specific lifting requirements, providing flexibility and adaptability for various job site conditions.
Safety Enhancements
By maintaining stability through counterweight adjustments, VPC technology enhances safety on the undercarriage, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring reliable lifting operations.

These specifications offer a glimpse into the physical attributes of the MLC300’s undercarriage, illustrating its design for efficient and effective performance on the job site.
Manitowoc MLC300 Undercarriage Specifications
The Manitowoc MLC300 boasts a sturdy undercarriage design, featuring crawler assemblies that span 32 feet in length and come equipped with 48-inch-wide cast steel crawler pads. These assemblies are outfitted with automatically lubricated intermediate rollers to ensure smooth operation. An interesting aspect is the interchangeability of the left and right side crawlers, providing flexibility for assembly and disassembly at job sites. Each crawler functions independently, powered by a variable displacement hydraulic motor connected via screw-together hydraulic quick disconnects. This setup delivers ample tractive force for both travel and counterrotation even when operating at full load. The crane can achieve a maximum ground speed of 0.8 mph. Additionally, there is an optional 60-inch-wide tread configuration available to meet specific requirements.
