 New Product Innovation
VPC Technology PRELIMINARY

Consider this:
Carbody counterweight is used for stability only; it does not
increase capacity. What if the carbody counterweight could
be repositioned in a way to make it more useful?

Standard Counterweight Design compared to a VPC Counterweight Design

Imagine Two Cranes –

Each Crane has:
• Same total machine weight
• Same tipping fulcrum
• Same maximum counterweight position
• VPC Machine - eliminates carbody
counterweight while increasing upperworks
counterweight
 VPC allows this because it can move the
counterweight closer to the centerline of
rotation to maintain backward stability

3
 VPC
End Result PRELIMINARY

VPC counterweight technology enables a crane

with identical counterweight to a conventional
crane to:

• Lift greater load at the same radius

Or
• Lift the same load at a greater radius

• VPC-MAX beam
• VPC-MAX actuator
• Crane plus VPC-MAX counterweight added to tray
• MLC650 – 220,000 lb (100 m ton)

VPC-MAX automatically
