14010 70 US TON CRAWLER CRANE

Over 10-years of job-proven performance have given the Mantis 14010 an enviable reputation for dependability and round-the-clock performance. The 14010 saw its first major challenge as the key crane on one of the world’s largest and most difficult jobs – Boston’s Central artery highway project – known as “The Big Dig”. Some fifteen 14010s operated for several years both above and underground at the heart of this tunneling and highway building project. Whether walking loads, working in tunnels or drilling foundations, the 14010 became indispensable to the project.

Rated at 70-ton (63.5-tonne) lifting capacity at a full 10ft (3m) radius, the Mantis 10010Mx can pick-and-carry its entire load chart through a full 360°. Such is the extraordinary stability of the 14010 that, with tracks extended, the crane can still make lifts with the main boom fully telescoped to 111ft 6ins (34m) and laid-out horizontally! Even with zero counterweight installed – to reduce working weight to about 100,000lbs (50-tonnes) for reduced ground bearing pressures - the 14010 can still pick-and-carry 60-tons (54.4-tonnes) or operate with its main boom fully extended and reach radii out to 90ft (28m)!

Lifting at height the 14010 also shows its strength with 35,000lbs at 25ft radius (15.3-tonnes @ 8m) on the fully elevated and telescoped main boom! For increased height the 14010 deploys lattice extensions offering 18,000lbs 8.2-tonnes) to 147ft (44.8m) tip height of 6,600lbs (3-tonnes) to 167ft (50.9m) on offsettable jibs.

Should narrow roadways demand lifting with tracks retracted for 12ft 6ins (3.51-3.81m) overall width, the 14010 can still walk with 70,600lbs (32-tonnes) on booms to 61ft (18.6m) or 44,000lbs 920-tonnes) on the fully telescoped main boom.

For a crane its capacity and reach, the 14010 has an extraordinarily low center of gravity with a minimum overhead clearance height of just 10ft 1ins (3.06m). And like all Mantis cranes, the 14010 doesn’t depend upon massive counterweighting for its strength – for big counterweights are liabilities when climbing grades!
