Manitex Inc (http://www.manitex.com/). has announced that it will now offer a jib-jack as a standard feature when ordering the 50-ton taxi-crane (http://www.manitex.com/series.aspseries=5002S) with optional jib. Manitex has also added a no-free-swing option for the 50-ton product for oil field service and power grid applications.
Our 50-ton machines can be operated by a single person, and by offering the jib-jack as a standard value added feature, we provide quicker machine set up and lower operation and overhead
costs. The no-free-swing option will also equip the operator with better control for coil tubing operations and specific power grid applications. The operator will have one less variable
to deal with, and be able to focus more on the load and overall lift operations, explains Randy Robertson, Director of Sales and Marketing for Manitex.
Manitex has engineered the 50-ton taxi-crane to be a profitable and efficient machine, making it possible for small businesses (http://www.manitex.com/training/index.asp) and operations to perform various jobs in one day with low costs.
We are actively pursuing improvements, and some become value added standard features as in this case. The jib-jack for the 50-tonner jib option and the no-free-swing option are more
examples of Manitex expanding its versatility and increasing overall profitability for our end customers, concludes Randy Robertson.
