MLC165-1 Manitowoc crane - load chart, specs & dimensions (2015 - 2026)

Operator’s cab

Fully enclosed and galvanized steel insulated module is equipped with sliding door, large safety glass windows on all sides and roof. Signal horn, cab space heater, front and roof windshield wipers, air conditioning, dome light, sun visor and shade, fire extinguisher and air circulating fan are standard. Additional optional: External RCI light.

Jobsite benefits

The MLC165-1 delivers superior performance to finish the job quicker. 12 500 kg single line pull and 135 m/min maximum line speed 2,5 rpm swing speed Travel, swing and counter-rotate with full rated capacity.

Swing system

Independent single swing drive mounted in rotating bed is powered by a hydraulic piston type motor driving a spur gear through a planetary reduction. Maximum swing speed: 2.5 rpm.

Crawlers

Crawler assemblies are 8 m long high-strength steel fabrications with 1,1 m wide cast steel crawler pads. Each crawler is powered independently by a variable displacement hydraulic motor driving a planetary reduction. Crawlers provide ample tractive effort that allows counter rotation with full rated load. Maximum ground speed of 3,1 kph.

Controls

Hydraulic pilot controls provide infinite speed response directly proportional to control lever movement. Controls include Manitowoc’s CAN-BUS operating system providing microprocessor driven control logic, pump control, on-board diagnostics and service information. Block-up limit control is standard for hoist and whip lines. RCL/RCI (rated capacity limiter/rated capacity indicator) system is standard for main boom and upper boom point. “Function cut-out” or “warning only” operation is available via programmable configuration. Travel and swing alarms are standard.

Hydraulic System

Three high-pressure pumps are driven by the engine. Two pumps provide hydraulic power enabling simultaneous multi-function capability. One pump provides independent “closed loop” hydraulic power for the swing system. An additional fourth pump is required for free fall. Hydraulic reservoir capacity is 598 liter and is equipped with breather, sight and electrical level indicator, clean out access, and internal diffuser. Each function is equipped with relief valves to protect the hydraulic circuit from overload or shock. Replaceable, 10 micron (absolute) full flow tank filter is furnished in the hydraulic circuit. All oil is filtered prior to return to the hydraulic reservoir. Hydraulic system also includes hydraulic oil cooler.

Drums

Two equal width winches are driven by independent variable displacement axial piston hydraulic motors through planetary reduction. Drums are grooved for 26 mm rope. Powered hoisting/lowering operation is standard with automatic (spring applied, hydraulically released) multi-disc brakes, and drum rotation indicators. Optional: free-fall operation for front and/or rear drums. Optional: auxiliary (third) hydraulic powered drum mounted in boom butt. This includes a third drum control system, and the auxiliary drum may be used as the luffing hoist when the machine is equipped with a luffing jib. Additionally, optional auxiliary drum preparation includes electric wiring, controls, hydraulic selector valve, and plumbing.

Boom hoist

Independent boom hoist consists of a single drum grooved for 22 mm diameter wire rope. It includes 22 mm diameter wire rope for 18 part line reeving. The drum is powered by a fixed displacement hydraulic motor coupled to an internal brake and planetary gearbox equipped with ratchet and pawl.

No. 74A boom

The lifcrane is equipped with a 15 m basic No. 74A tubular chord boom consisting of a 6 m butt and 9 m top with six 60 cm diameter roller bearing sheaves. The No. 74A boom utilizes steel straps. The hydraulically powered boom hinge pin system consists of a cylinder, piping, operating controls, and a locking device. A spring-cushioned boom stop and electronic automatic boom stop are standard. Auxiliary drum preparation is included as standard. The No. 74A boom length can be increased using 3 m, 6 m, and 12 m boom inserts with steel suspension straps, allowing a maximum boom length of 84 m. A 13.6 t swivel hook and weight ball are standard.
