MAMMOET TERMINALCRANE, MTC 15

The MTC 15 can quickly and simply turn any quay into a heavylift terminal providing a new way for the transfer of heavycomponents at waterside locations. This may give any port aleading edge in an increasingly demanding market.

The MTC 15 offers the following advantages:• Low ground bearing pressure• Ease of operation• Containerized mobilization and demobilization• Simple and fast assembly and disassembly• Lifting capacity up to 600 t

Heavy industries are crossing new frontiers every day to satisfythe demand for more energy, materials and infrastructure acrossthe planet. Opening up opportunities in new markets and raisingquality of life mean more remote locations need to be accessed.This adds to the logistical challenges when constructing newpower plants, mining facilities and developing oil and gasfacilities. These can be particularly difficult in places where theinfrastructure for mobilizing heavy loads and materials may belimited or non-existent.

For many construction and turnaround projects the mostsuitable way to deliver heavy components is to transport themby water. However, often those ports or watersides that arelogistically optimal are not suited for heavy lifting activities,leading to longer and more expensive delivery routes. Mammoethas used its expertise in the logistics of oversized and heavyobjects to develop a new type of crane that overcomes thisbottleneck: the Mammoet Terminal Crane, MTC 15.

The Mammoet Terminal Crane, MTC 15, quickly and simply turns any quay into a heavy lift

terminal, unlocking faster and more efficient routes for heavy cargo. Easily mobilized,

assembled and disassembled, it provides a simple yet effective way to lift heavy loads in

remote locations without the need for ground reinforcement works.

THE MTC 15

The MTC 15 can quickly andsimply turn any quay into aheavy lifting terminal. ASSEMBLY IS SWIFTLY CARRIED OUT WITH ONE 80 TON CRANE

UNLOCKING FASTER ROUTESWorking in places only accessible via ‘the path less travelled’,throws up many challenges for transporting heavy cargo andMammoet loves a challenge. With the MTC 15, we havecreated a unique piece of heavy lifting equipment which canopen up better routes for moving heavy loads.

In addition to its maximum lifting capacity of 600 tons, it has amaximum load moment of 15,000 ton meter, comparable to a1,250 ton crawler crane. No other heavy lifting device on themarket combines the MTC 15 features with such high liftingcapacity. It also provides quick lifting and boom movements,with a lifting speed of up to 1.6 m/min delivered by four 22ton winches.

The specially designed combination of features makes it idealfor small quays and other waterside locations where

traditional heavy lifting equipment cannot operate. It has alow ground-bearing pressure of 10 ton per meter2 whichcan be further reduced with additional load spreaders.Loading and offloading heavy project cargo becomespossible without the need to reinforce the quay.

Easily shipped to any port capable of receiving containers,then assembled and erected in just seven days, the MTC 15is ideal for temporary use. There is no need for complicatedtransport solutions and assembly requires only one 80 toncrane. It is also possible to place the crane on a skid systemto enable either movement or relocation. Once it is in place,cargo can be offloaded quickly without a requirement forlarge crawler cranes or a heavy-lift ship. This makes thelogistics simpler, safer and more sustainable, saving clients’time and money.

WATERSIDE FLEXIBILITYThe containerization of the MTC 15 means it can be easilydelivered to both sea ports and up river locations. Thiseliminates many problems, such as the need for reinforcedroads or bridges, encountered when delivering other heavylifting equipment, e.g. a crawler crane, to a remote site.

The MTC 15’s clever design solves another potential logisticsproblem; there is no need for the costly transport of ballast tothe site. Using water as ballast, readily available at the type ofsite where it will be deployed, up to twenty containers can befilled to provide 520 tons of ballast material. The containers arefilled with bags, just like those used to ship wine in bulk. Theseare filled with water at the site and use a simple counterweightsystem to signal if ballast levels need to be checked.

The MTC 15 is also very easy to operate; its control console isoperated remotely, allowing the operator to maneuver the cranefrom the best possible viewing position. Once assembled, thecrane requires only one operator.

MTC 15 KEY FEATURESThe MTC 15 offers the following features:• 600 metric tons off-loading capacity at 25 m radius• Load moment of 15,000 tm• Lifting speed of up to 1.6 m/min with four 22 twinches

• Radius up to 41 m• Low ground-bearing pressure of 10 t/m2

• Swiftly and easily put in place, in just seven days using80 t mobile crane

• Only one MTC 15 operator needed when assembled• A temporary solution for occasional or one-offactivities

• Available in two configurations with different back mastlengths (shown on data sheet)

environmental risks. Our expertise enables us to identifyopportunities at the planning, preparation and executionstages of each project to reduce waste, use less energy andmanage risks safely.

Using the MTC 15 limits the environmental impacts of aproject by reducing transport and using materials on site.The MTC 15 has also been constructed by reusing steel fromprevious cranes, reducing its environmental footprint. Usingsand or water on-site for ballast reduces environmentalimpacts further.

All the vehicles in Mammoet’s fleet meet stringentinternational safety standards and are subject to strictmaintenance programs for maximum safety and reliability.The MTC features typical crane control systems such asangle sensors, boom stops and a ballast indication systemall of which contribute to a safety system which warns theoperator if there are problems detected and will stop theoperation if safe limits are exceeded.

KEEPING SAFE, HELPING THE ENVIRONMENTWorking with Mammoet guarantees high levels of quality andsafety. Both by working with clients to optimize their logisticschains and by providing the highest quality equipment andprofessionals, Mammoet can help improve safety and reduce
