H
This section only shows some standard driving modes. For further
information on additional or individual driving modes, please contact
Manitowoc Crane Care.
The tables consist of two parts:
– The driving mode of your truck crane is specified in the top part, next to
Equipment. Find out which driving mode applies to your truck crane.
– The required rigging mode for this driving mode and the accessories
you are allowed to transport are specified in the lower section, next to
Rigging mode.
Example of how to use the table:
Assume your truck crane is equipped with 385/95 tyres, 6 x 10 x 10 drive.
Equipped with a retarder and towbar for a trailer. In addition, the auxiliary hoist
or the 1.0 t counterweight is mounted.
In this case the driving mode in the upper part, next to equipment, is 1.
According to the specifications in the lower part, in addition to rigging mode,
– the 1-sheave hook block must be attached to the front bumper.
– the hose drum is installed on the main boom,
– the 1,8 m + 16 m swing-away lattice is folded to the side,
– a 2.3 t counterweight lies on the counterweight platform
– a 4.6 t counterweight may be installed on the turntable
Additional parts must be transported on a separate vehicle.

If you remove indicated parts from the truck crane in driving mode, then the
total weight decreases but might be distributed in such a way that the front
or rear axle loads are over 12 t.
