Description

NOV’s Mobile Tower Crane (MTC) concept offers unmatched lifting capabilities at greater heights, significantly enhancing the safety, reliability, and efficiency of tall wind tower installations.


Key Features


Mobility System

  • Enhanced Maneuverability: The MTC's tracks and pads facilitate easy maneuvering directly to each tower, even over uneven terrain. It operates with lower soil pressure requirements.
  • Telescopic Boom: This feature allows the crane to navigate areas with overhead obstructions, such as power lines, reducing the need for extensive civil engineering work when relocating.

Logistics

  • Efficient Transport: The MTC requires 50% fewer trucks for delivery and installation, resulting in faster arrival and quicker setup and teardown times. This efficiency translates into more time spent on actual construction, enabling more towers within the same timeframe.

  • Speed Advantage: The MTC moves at 1.5 mph, significantly outpacing the typical crawler crane's speed of 0.25 mph, achieving site-to-site transitions 500% faster.


Wind Rating

  • High Wind Tolerance: The MTC can operate in wind speeds up to 50% higher than traditional cranes, enhancing safety and reliability, and minimizing potential downtime.

Built to Scale

  • Modular Design: The crane's modular construction allows for the addition of new tower sections to the boom, enabling higher hub heights and providing cost savings by reducing the need for additional cranes.

Safety

  • Enhanced Safety: Traditional crawlers are often pushed to their operational limits, risking failure and falls due to weight and wind pressures. Tower cranes require assembly and disassembly for each move, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • Dependability: The MTC mitigates these risks, offering superior safety, dependability, and significant cost and time savings for every project.
