Variable Position Counterweight The Variable Position Counterweight VPC is proprietary technology available exclusively on Manitowoc crawler cranes. By allowing the crane’s counterweight to be positioned automatically, the VPC provides an unmatched level of versatility and lifting capability. Jobsite benefits Reduced ground bearing pressure Moving counterweight allows counterweight to be positioned to better distribute ground bearing pressure during setup and lifting operations.

VPC–MAX (option) Unlike VPC counterweight movement which is dictated by changes in boom angle, VPC MAX counterweight movement is dictated by load and radius forward moment changes. As forward moment is increased or decreased VPC MAX counterweight position is changed to o set changes in moment. In VPC-MAX con guration, the counterweight tray moves to the end of the VPC-MAX beam prior to beam extension, thus minimizing tailswing and...
