As far as I know, no buyers and no contracts as of yet, but serious interests are there, from all over the world. Number 1, or the first to be ordered, is still there and waiting to be purchased. It has already been put thru some very intense proof testing, and had a great number of updates and changes made, as the result of feedback from those of us that attended training classes there on it, and has been put in the shop and given a new paint job too. It sits blocked and ready for shipping, for someone with a deep pockets who sees the potential that this amazing crane has! It’s fully mobile with 100% of any rated load and any configuration, but it still has some ringer advantages. Imagine having a job that was so heavy that it usually required a ring type crane, or one with a trailing counterweight, rolling or suspended [which are a time consuming and costly pain in the ass to deal with all the time] but it had to be mobil too. I think that’s why Manitowoc is now reportedly considering doing mods and offering the ‘floating and never touching’ VPC attachments
for some of the other of it’s already impressive line up of bigger crawlers. I believe that our’s, which has had even more proof testing and all the updates too, will soon show the lift crane world it’s next heavy lift star, and then someone else will quickly step up and buy the second one.
