Variable Position Counterweight
Jobsite benefits
The Variable Position Counterweight VPC is proprietary technology available
exclusively on Manitowoc crawler cranes. By allowing the crane’s counterweight
to be positioned automatically, the VPC provides an unmatched level of
versatility and lifting capability.
Reduced ground bearing pressure
Moving counterweight allows counterweight to be positioned to better distribute ground bearing
pressure during setup and lifting operations.
Less counterweight without sacrificing capacity
e VPC technology allows the upperworks counterweight to move based on stability requirements,
eliminating the need for carbody counterweights. e weight typically added to the carbody can now
be added to the upperworks to increase capacity while retaining performance and on-site mobility.
