Product Snapshot: Pipelayer and Telecrawler
The TCC-1400 is a 140-ton telescopic crawler crane that sports a 195-ft six-section boom. An onboard three-piece bi-fold lattice fly grants the crane a maximum tip height of 259 ft. New operator features include a digital inclinometer to show the current list angle. Cameras provide a clearer view of the winches and rear of the crane. The modular counterweight allows the crane to be used in partial-counterweight load-chart configurations.
