After sitting idle through much of the economic downturn, Manitowoc's first model 31000 supercrane is hard at work in Gwangyang, South Korea, lifting pressure vessels for a coal gasification project.
"The Manitowoc 31000 has a tremendous capacity, and we will be able to use it for heavy lifts on a diverse number of projects," says Chang Hwan Jang, chairman of Korea-based Chunjo Construction Co., in a statement. The company purchased the 2,300-tonne-capacity machine for its crane-rental fleet.
