The JMG MC180.08 electric pick and carry crane delivers the lifting power required for demanding industrial jobs while maintaining the maneuverability needed inside busy facilities. With a maximum lifting capacity of 66,100 pounds, fully electric operation, and interchangeable boom configurations, it offers a flexible alternative to conventional cranes and multi-machine lifting arrangements.
As part of JMG’s modular M Series, the MC180.08 is designed for industrial operations that need to lift, transport, and precisely position heavy loads. Its combination of power, compact dimensions, and configuration options makes it particularly useful for machinery moving, equipment installation, plant maintenance, and other challenging material-handling applications.
The JMG MC180.08 electric pick and carry crane provides a maximum lifting capacity of 66,100 pounds, or 30 metric tons. This capacity allows it to handle large machinery, industrial components, dies, molds, transformers, and other heavy loads.
Actual lifting capacity depends on factors such as the selected boom, boom extension, load position, counterweight configuration, and operating conditions. Operators should always follow the applicable load chart and manufacturer instructions when planning a lift.
The MC180.08 uses an electric power system rather than a diesel engine. As a result, it produces no exhaust emissions during operation and generates less noise than many combustion-powered machines.
These characteristics make the crane well suited to indoor environments such as:
Electric operation can also help facilities reduce engine-related maintenance requirements and avoid introducing exhaust fumes into occupied work areas.
Unlike cranes that must remain stationary during a lift, a pick-and-carry crane is designed to lift a load and transport it within the machine’s rated operating limits.
The JMG MC180.08 electric pick-and-carry crane can therefore support a continuous workflow in which equipment is lifted, moved, and positioned using one machine. Depending on the application, this may reduce the need to coordinate several forklifts, overhead cranes, or separate transport equipment.
Because the crane does not rely on outriggers for normal operation, it can also avoid the setup area and deployment time associated with many conventional mobile cranes.
One of the MC180.08’s most important features is its modular boom system. The crane can be configured with either a boom featuring two hydraulic extensions or a boom with one hydraulic extension.
These interchangeable options allow a single operational base to support different lifting requirements. A facility can select a configuration based on the reach, clearance, and access conditions of a particular job without replacing the entire crane.
JMG designed the modular system to make configuration changes efficient while expanding the range of work the crane can perform.
The crane includes an extendable rear group that can extend up to 3 feet 3 inches. Its system calculates lifting capacity in real time according to the rear group’s position.
The JMG MC180.08 electric pick and carry crane also uses three removable counterweights with a combined weight of approximately 20,500 pounds. This modular arrangement helps users adapt the machine’s weight and dimensions to different operating and transportation requirements.
The complete machine weighs approximately 37,600 pounds before application-specific equipment and accessories are considered.
Despite its heavy lifting capacity, the MC180.08 has overall dimensions of approximately:
Rear steering with a range of -90 to +90 degrees helps the crane maneuver in constrained industrial areas. The boom offers an inclination range of approximately -5 to +65 degrees, providing flexibility when approaching loads or working around overhead obstacles.
These features are valuable when moving machinery through existing production lines, narrow travel paths, doorways, or areas where space for repositioning equipment is limited.
The MC180.08 is designed to provide up to eight hours of operation, although actual battery life will depend on load demands, travel, lifting frequency, operating conditions, and battery configuration.
A lithium battery is available as an option. Facilities can evaluate the standard and optional battery configurations according to their duty cycle, charging schedule, and expected daily use.
The JMG MC180.08 electric pick and carry crane can be equipped with options that expand its capabilities for specialized applications. Available equipment includes:
Final equipment selection should be based on the load, required reach, facility layout, floor conditions, and planned operating environment.
The MC180.08 can support a wide variety of heavy industrial lifting projects, including:
