The RT550E rough terrain crane offers the highest capacity and the longest boom in the 45 t (50 USt) class. Its compact size allows for easy transportability between jobsites and makes it best suited for congested work areas and everywhere there is need for long reach in a very compact footprint. This crane also features Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS) and Boom Configurator Mode for easy and efficient operation of the boom. The load sensing hydraulic system design, coupled with ECO mode, ensures reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
