Manitex’s newly acquired Badger Equipment subsidiary has begun producing a new product line, starting with the CD4430, a 30-ton cab-down-style rough-terrain crane.
The 5096S boom truck from Manitex is rated at 50-ton capacity at a 6-foot radius, which is said to be a 25 percent improvement over currently produced boom trucks. Still, the 5096S meets federal bridge law weight requirements, meaning no overweight permits are required. Standard features include solid radio outrigger controls, four-section 96-foot boom, and free swing with pilot-operated controls.
The 50-ton Manitex 5096S boom truck is what Veri-Tek, owner of the Manitex brand, calls “the first 50 ton boom truck available on a commercially available chassis.”
