How many support trucks (lowboys) are required to move a Manitowoc MLC300?
A Manitowoc MLC300 typically requires 6-8 lowboy trailers for complete mobilization, depending on configuration and counterweight requirements.
The Manitowoc MLC300 lattice boom crawler crane requires multiple lowboy trailers due to its size and weight distribution. The basic transport package includes the upper works (approximately 88,000 lbs), carbody with tracks (around 110,000 lbs), boom sections, and counterweight blocks. Standard mobilization uses 6 lowboys: one for the upper, one for the carbody, two for boom sections, and two for counterweight.
Remember: "MLC300 needs 6-8 trucks - think 'MATE' (Manitowoc Always Takes Eight)"
