It was less than a year ago that Manitowoc launched six new cranes at bauma 2019, and the company is matching this feat at ConExpo. The six new models will come from the Manitowoc, Potain, Grove and National Crane ranges, covering a wide spectrum of lifting industry needs. Barry Pennypacker, president and CEO of The Manitowoc Company, says the crane maker is delivering on its promise to design and manufacture new products more rapidly so that Manitowoc customers can utilise the increased capabilities and efficiencies they bring and earn more return on their capital investments. “At ConExpo 2020, we plan to show how our innovation and velocity efforts under The Manitowoc Way are producing cranes that offer class-leading design and performance,” he says. “Many of our customers provide direct input into the design and functionality of our new cranes, and we know that they will be thrilled to see their contributions come to life. ConExpo will be a great opportunity to show the entire lifting industry that at Manitowoc, the revolution is real.” b

The large number of new cranes launching at the tradeshow reflects Manitowoc’s improved product development cycle under The Manitowoc Way.
