One key change is the switch to open-loop hydraulics over the 999’s closed-loop system. “The Model 999 has been a firm favorite with contractors in the heavy construction and energy sectors for 20 years, providing enough reach and capacity to tackle virtually any job,” said Brennan Seeliger, product manager at Manitowoc Cranes, adding, “Feedback received through our Voice of the Customer new product development process showed that users were still satisfied with its performance, but there were areas that could be enhanced to bring it in line with our newer crawlers.” The new MLC250 uses the same #82 boom sections with a max boom length of 290 ft (88.4 m) and load charts. Featuring a wider cab, with up to 20° tilt, and access to service compartments and better ergonomics for operators and techs, key specifications largely remain unchanged. This includes productivity updates drawn from the MLC range boom length and load charts remain unchanged from the 999. Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS) offers a user-friendly interface, full graphic display, and intuitive controls.
