THE MAST CLIMBER TOP CRANE (MCTC) is an add-on option Scanclimber’s mast climbing work platforms (MCWP). The MCTC is mounted on the top of the MCWP’s mast and it can be slewed 360 degrees around the mast. It can be used for lifting material from ground to platform, and from platform to the facade. The MCTC is compatible with most of the existing MCWPs from Scanclimber’s product catalogue.

MCTC is perfectly suited for jobs that require lifting reasonably heavy facade elements to greater heights. MCTC is a very space efficient tool and can save a substantial amount of ovehead costs of caused by cranes. This versatile expansion is compatible with SC4000. SC5000, SC6000, SC8000 and SC10000.

PAYLOAD capacity depends on the length of the lifting arm and whether the Top Crane is equipped with counter weight. Top Crane can handle payload of 900 kilograms when it is equipped with counter weight and without it the crane arm is able to lift material up to 400 kg at the tip of the crane. In addition the lifted material can be rotated full circle, 360 degrees, around the mast and move along the 6 meters long crane arm.

FULL 360° CIRCULAR SLEWING is a special feature of the crane. Full circle slewing provides more options to handle the material on the work site. Productivity increases when material can be lifted from ground to platform or to top of the building. This reduces the downtime and saves material handling costs and improve productivity.

INSTALLATION OF TOP CRANE is easy and fast as it takes only slightly more time than standard erection of a Mast Climbing Work Platform. First the Mast Climber is erected and then Top Crane is installed on top of the Mast Climber’s mast. Practically with one installation you have two machines erected.

DUAL USE is the prime factor of Mast Climber crane. More people can work on the platform and the crane can be operated to lift loads at the same time. This increases work efficiency and better utilization of available resources. Instead of using two or more different kind of machines, it can save much initial capital, labour costs, servicing costs as well as working space on job sites by using Mast Climber Top Crane.

MCTC cannot be used on a free standing mastclimber. It can be installed only on an MCWP with an anchored mast on wheel chassis with the outrig-gers arranged in K-Position. The MCTC can be installed on any height provided that height is greater than the building height.

MAST CLIMBER WITH DUAL MACHINE CHARACTERISTICS  can be installed in various locations and uses. It can be used for example in window installation or in balcony work. Mast Climber crane can lift material to the floors or to the platform from ground level while men keep working on the platform. Mast Climber with Top Crane can be used in two different ways:

• USE IN COORDINATION WITH MCWP: Mast Climber crane can be used increase the project productivity by lifting material or tools from ground to the platform and vice versa.
• INDEPENDENT USE: Crane works separately regardless of Mast Climbing Platform activity e.g. crane could be used to carry material to a specific floor or to the roof of the building while workers on MCWP are performing their work independently.
